Have you seen X-Y rails with a light duty chain hoist hanging below them? This is how they look
The technical term for these material handling solutions is HB Systems, from Abus Germany. HB Systems is a breakthrough innovation in the lifting and material handling domain. They combine the efficiency of a hoist with the flexibility of an overhead crane, without having to use extreme effort.
Abus developed HB Systems with a vision of making them the first choice for every workshop and factory. The lifting range includes equipment that can safely lift working loads from 80kg to 2000kg, available across spans up to 12m. HB Systems are offered as manual Push-pull Systems, fully Motorized Systems or even as a combination of Push-pull and Motorized Systems, depending on the application.
The effort curve shows that the effort required for moving the load is less than 2% of the weight of the load being handled. It is as easy as pushing your luggage trolley at an airport. All the hoisting and lowering motions are motorized, and no manual effort is required to lift the load.
Thus, Abus HB Systems offers the utmost flexibility for assembly stations by providing superior quality, reliability, and advanced technology along with overall cost-effectiveness. Their success can be attributed to their ability to fulfil client requirements and offer a solution for almost every application.
What Makes HB System’s Ideal Solutions?
Abus HB Systems offers customised modular solutions to industries like manufacturing, automotive, heavy engineering, construction equipment and allied sectors. They are used for small assembly stations or can be used in unison with 3 or 4 systems to lift a combined load depending on the product shape. All HB Systems can be custom-built from standard profiles manufactured from steel or aluminium rolled sections. It is a reliable solution that ensures better space utilisation and provides optimum lift under the hook. All connections are either bolt-able or weldable, thus, making the HB Systems easily adaptable to fit any type of room and ceiling design. They are robust and can lift and slide loads that weigh up to 2t, effortlessly.
