KBK Crane – Truck Chassis Component Handling Solution
A well-known high-quality truck and trailer manufacturer produces a wide range of products. The company previously mainly produced classic box trucks and dump trucks. At present, they also produce semi-trailers, container chassis, replaceable truck chassis and cargo boxes, as well as cold chain transportation vehicle equipment. The founder of the company founded the cargo airline from a forging workshop in the Minster area in 1892. To this day, the enterprise still produces and manufactures at its production base in the region. And improves the comfort, performance, and safety of long-distance transportation by manufacturing and continuously improving trucks and trailers.
The production line of the enterprise adopts an assembly line model, responsible for producing chassis for box type vehicles. One of the production processes is to assemble the brake assembly. Which can reach a maximum length of 4 meters from the brake components to the brake shaft. The assembly is structurally complex and consists of multiple units, each connected only through various media and signal pipelines. The key to the assembly task is to transport the brake assembly from the pre assembly workshop to the installation position in the assembly line production.
Based on the size of the assembly, there is almost no doubt about using air transportation. However, due to the length of the handling components and the extremely limited handling space, traditional lifting equipment is difficult to handle. And the handling solution also needs to be integrated into the wireless control scheme used by users throughout the entire factory. We have developed a solution for this user based on a modular KBK light crane system. The SEVENCRANE KBK light crane system has been used for various assembly tasks for over 30 years.
During the process of manufacturing trucks and trailers, the user needs to handle large components with longer shapes but lighter weights. And the handling space is extremely limited. The combination of KBK light crane system and low clearance double hook hoist is perfect for this. With SEVENCRANE's KBK modular system, we can always find tailored, efficient, and ergonomic solutions for handling and assembly tasks.
