BKB / ALUBKB Monorail Crane Systems

BKB / ALUBKB Monorail Crane Systems are modular light crane solutions with C-profile rail technology, developed by BM Makina for the safe, ergonomic and efficient handling of light and medium loads. Installed suspended from ceilings, steel structures or existing column/beam structures, BKB / ALUBKB monorail lines carry loads of up to 1,000 kg quietly, smoothly and under full control thanks to low-friction carrier trolleys and electric chain hoist integration. With the advantages of local production, flexible design options and optional powered travel, the BKB / ALUBKB monorail is the ideal industrial transport system for assembly lines, machine feeding, workbench applications and intralogistics processes.

C-Profile Light Rail Technology — Special C-section steel or aluminium profiles provide low-friction, quiet and stable travel. The enclosed profile keeps the trolley from derailing and protects wheels and bearings from external influences. Ergonomic Handling up to 1,000 kg — Within the right capacity range, loads can be moved manually with very little force; an electric tractor trolley provides powered travel when needed. Modular Monorail Layout — Straight, L-, U- or ring-shaped lines with standard and project-specific profile lengths; extension sets, switches and curve elements adapt the line to the process flow. Short Headroom — Maximum Usable Height — Thanks to the compact hoist and rail geometry, hook height is maximized, especially in low-ceiling facilities, and the floor stays completely free. Electric Chain Hoist Integration — BKB / ALUBKB monorails are fully compatible with electric chain hoists, balancers and vacuum lifting systems, providing controlled lifting and positioning for delicate processes. Minimum Maintenance, Long Life — Bearing mechanisms running inside the enclosed profile mean low wear, little maintenance and high availability; spare parts and service support are locally available. A Domestic, Modular and Economical Solution — Produced entirely with BM Makina engineering, the BKB / ALUBKB system offers shorter delivery times, competitive costs and project-based flexibility compared with imported light crane solutions.

BKB / ALUBKB Monorail Crane Systems excel in the following applications: Assembly lines — automotive, home appliance, machinery and equipment assembly stations; part transfer between stations and line feeding. Machine feeding and workbench applications — loading/unloading of CNC, press, lathe, milling and laser cutting machines; handling of dies, fixtures and components. Maintenance and service workshops — removing, carrying and refitting motors, gearboxes, pumps, dies and cylinders. Warehousing and logistics — point lifting in front of racks, in narrow aisles and wherever forklifts cannot reach; transfer of packages, crates, components and semi-finished goods. Special processes — handling coils, sheets, glass and panels (with vacuum or special attachments); hygienic products, packaging and light metal.

Depending on your needs, the BKB / ALUBKB monorail can be configured with: an electric tractor trolley (powered horizontal travel); frequency inverter speed control with soft start/stop; radio remote control; vacuum lifting systems, balancers, magnetic or mechanical special attachments; rail switches, curve elements and end stops; various suspension and mounting kits (for steel structures, concrete columns or roof beams); safety equipment such as overload limiters, end stops and anti-collision sensors; and energy and data supply systems (cable trolleys, enclosed conductor rails and more).

BM Makina manufactures the BKB / ALUBKB crane series at its modern facility in Gebze in accordance with EN and CE standards. Products are load-tested and pass quality control before delivery. Modular design, long-life components and the advantage of domestic production have made BM Makina’s BKB / ALUBKB series a trusted solution in the industry.
