LIFTKET Heavy-Duty Hoists | B13 / B15 & POWER

The 4,000–25,000 kg capacity Heavy-Duty Hoists (electric chain hoists), offered through the BM Makina – LIFTKET partnership, are professional solutions designed for safe, efficient lifting in steel construction, heavy machinery manufacturing, energy, port and site applications.

The POWER LIFTKET Heavy-Duty Hoist series — with single- and twin-chain (1 and 2 falls) configuration, a central suspension point, high lifting heights and low maintenance — can be used both at fixed lifting stations and integrated as the hoist unit on BM Makina’s BKB light crane systems, gantry cranes and steel-construction bridge cranes.

High load capacity – from 4 t to 25 t

With a lifting capacity of 4,000–25,000 kg, it safely lifts and moves critical loads in heavy-industry applications.

Single- and twin-chain operation (1 / 2 falls)

All models are designed only in single- and twin-chain configurations, providing reasonable lifting speeds and an economical solution at high lifting heights.

Safe load balance with a central suspension point

On chain hoists the load is balanced thanks to the central suspension point, so the load’s centre of gravity stays directly beneath the suspension — eliminating the multiple suspension points, drum-travelling load and complex load distribution seen on wire-rope hoists.

Large lifting heights and site use

The single- and twin-chain structure ensures optimum speed and a compact build even at large lifting heights. In mobile applications such as sites, power plants and heavy assembly areas, all the advantages of electric chain hoists (compact body, low maintenance, easy transport) are available.

Low maintenance and easy service

• Parts can be removed and replaced individually when needed.
• The low number of moving parts means long maintenance-free periods and low operating cost.

Fast configuration change

• Single-chain operation → twin-chain operation or vice versa; reconfigured in a short time.
• Changing the lifting height is far easier and more flexible than on wire-rope hoists.
