LIFTKET ERGOKET

LIFTKET ERGOKET is a lifting and handling system that combines electric chain hoist technology with an ergonomic suspension/control unit, putting operator health at the centre. Represented by BM Makina, ERGOKET is an ideal solution for industrial environments where heavy loads must be moved safely, comfortably and quickly all day long.

ERGOKET Ergonomic Suspension and Lifting Systems combine a LIFTKET electric chain hoist body with a specially designed ERGOKET hand control on a single platform. The operator gets an ergonomic “handle” with which they can both grip and guide the load and give lift/lower commands.

As a result:

• Heavy loads are raised and lowered with fingertip precision and low effort.
• Smooth, controlled motion improves both product safety and operator safety.
• Strain on the back and spine is significantly reduced in repetitive daily lifting tasks.

Ergonomic hand control (handling device)

The load is connected to an ergonomic handle designed to match the operator’s natural hand position. Both guidance and control are possible with one hand, giving far more comfortable and faster operation than a classic pendant control.

The assurance of an electric chain hoist

LIFTKET’s industry-proven electric chain hoist technology brings together high lifting performance, a long-life mechanical structure and low maintenance needs.

Motor built for continuous operation

A motor construction suited to a high duty cycle even in tough conditions and shift production. Thanks to a body design optimized for heat dissipation, performance stays stable even under intensive use.

Precise speed control (optional)

Single/dual-speed lifting options as required; millimetre positioning for precise assembly work.

Safety-focused design

The LIFTKET safety philosophy prevents uncontrolled load drops with overload protection, a safe brake and clutch system, and chain and hook safety components.

Ergonomics and occupational health

By letting the operator move in a natural flow together with the load, it minimizes repetitive strain on the lower back, shoulders and wrists, reducing the risk of accidents and occupational illness.

Full compatibility with BM Makina systems

Used together with BKB monorail, bridge and jib crane systems — and with power supply (VAHLE), cable reels (KATO) and special lifting attachments — it forms a complete “ergonomic lifting and handling solution”.

ERGOKET Ergonomic Suspension and Lifting Systems can be used in almost any industrial application requiring repetitive, precise lifting:

Automotive & Supplier Industry: ergonomic assembly, in-line lifting and positioning of engines, gearboxes, suspension components, seats and interior trim parts.

Appliance & Electronics Assembly: precise, vibration-free placement of components such as cabinets, panels, drums and compressors on the assembly line.

General Machinery Manufacturing: moving sub-assemblies, bodies and components between benches; use as an ergonomic station hoist on cellular production lines.

Metalworking & Fabrication: workpiece loading/unloading, turning parts before and after welding, tack-welding and loading onto assembly fixtures.

Maintenance & Repair Workshops: disassembling, moving and reinstalling heavy equipment such as motors, gearboxes, pumps and moulds.

Food, Packaging, Textile, Logistics: hygienic, controlled lifting of reels, rolls, cases, boxes and packages; operator-assisted lifting on packaging and palletizing lines.

ERGOKET significantly improves work efficiency and operator comfort, especially in all applications with a high number of lifts per operator.
