KBK light crane system
Weiyuan Hand-Operated KBK Monorail Crane
Product Overview
The Weiyuan Hand-Operated 800KG KBK Crane is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective lifting solution designed for precision and flexibility in environments where power is unavailable or unnecessary. This single girder suspension crane utilizes a lightweight, modular KBK system that is operated entirely by hand, making it exceptionally easy to use for light-duty lifting and transport tasks. Ideal for small workshops, maintenance bays, and assembly stations, this monorail system provides smooth, quiet, and efficient material handling without the complexity of an electric-powered crane.
Product Advantages
- Power-Free Operation: Fully hand-operated, this crane requires no electricity, eliminating power supply costs and making it suitable for use in explosion-proof or power-restricted areas.
- Effortless Manual Control: The combination of low-friction trolleys and a high-quality manual chain hoist allows for smooth and easy movement of loads up to 800kg with minimal physical effort.
- Economical and Low Maintenance: With no motors or electrical components, the system has a lower initial cost and requires very little maintenance, offering a highly economical long-term lifting solution.
- Flexible and Adaptable: The modular KBK track can be configured as a simple monorail or a more complex network, and its suspension design frees up floor space. It’s easy to install, modify, and relocate.
- Quiet and Clean Operation: The manual system operates almost silently, making it ideal for quieter workshop environments. The lack of electrical components also makes it a clean solution for sensitive applications.
Application Scenarios
- Small Workshops & Garages: Perfect for lifting engines, components, and materials in repair shops or small-scale manufacturing where loads are infrequent and under 800kg.
- Assembly Workstations: Provides dedicated lifting assistance for assembling products, allowing workers to precisely position parts without manual strain.
- Hazardous Environments: An excellent choice for locations where sparks from electrical equipment pose a risk, such as chemical plants or painting booths.
- Remote or Temporary Sites: Ideal for job sites without a stable power supply, offering a reliable lifting capability that can be easily installed and removed.

FAQ
1. How much force is required to move a load with this crane?
The system is designed with low-friction components. Typically, the force required to move a load is only about 1% of the total weight, making it surprisingly easy to operate manually.
2. Can this crane be used in an outdoor environment?
While primarily designed for indoor use, we can provide special finishes and component treatments to make the crane suitable for protected outdoor applications. Please consult with our team to discuss your specific needs.
3. Is it possible to upgrade this crane to an electric model later?
Yes, one of the key advantages of the Weiyuan KBK system is its modularity. The track and girder can typically be retrofitted with an electric chain hoist and motorized trolleys if your operational needs change in the future.
4. What is the main advantage of a hand-operated crane over an electric one?
The main advantages are lower cost, zero power consumption, extremely low maintenance, and the ability to operate safely in hazardous or power-scarce environments. It’s a simple and highly reliable solution for light-duty applications.
5. How is the crane installed?
The crane is installed by bolting the modular track components together and suspending them from the ceiling structure using appropriate hangers. The installation is straightforward and can be completed relatively quickly.
