Modular crane system
19 June 2013
In the last fifty years more than 10,000km of KBK crane profile has been brought into the market. Over the years the crane construction kit has undergone continuous development and today Terex Material Handling serves a wide variety of customers in many different industries.

"The development of the Demag KBK crane construction kit was the multi-sector response to the demands of a rapidly changing industrial landscape.” says Marc Rieser, senior director of the Modular Cranes business line. "With the KBK system, we were the first to offer a modular, highly flexible, smooth-running and relatively low-cost solution for the handling of loads in the workplace. That was revolutionary fifty years ago.”
Today, the Demag KBK light crane system is a modular system construction kit for overhead transport solutions in a number of different load ranges up to 3200kg.
