HB-systems
- The HB-System is one of the most successful developments in lifting and material handling technology, combining the effectiveness of a stationary hoist with the mobility of an overhead crane, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Monorail (ESB)
-
At a glance
- Straightforward HB-System for linear point-to-point transport.
- Low headroom.
- Wide suspension spacing.
- Optional electric hoist travel.
The ABUS monorail specialises in lifting loads locally and in linear point-to-point transport. With the help of curved sections your hoist is able to travel through the building exactly as you need it to. Workstations could be linked in this way if required or the crane could be adapted to fit individual machinery locations.
Double-rail system (ZSB)
-
At a glance
- Better load distribution on the suspensions.
- Wide suspension spacing.
- Particularly favourable lifting height with chain hoist suspended between rails.

Two crane tracks are suspended in parallel for the ABUS double rail system with the hoist suspended between them. The loads are distributed more evenly meaning less loading for the building structure. Wider suspension spacing is possible.
Single girder crane (EHB)
-
At a glance
- Area-coverage materials handling.
- Very light crane; ideal for use in lightweight buildings.
- Easily moved manually.
- Short end approach dimensions.
- Wide suspension spacing.
The ABUS single girder crane EHB is the most straightforward HB system solution for area-coverage materials handling within buildings. The EHB is a very light crane due to the simple construction of two crane tracks and one crane girder which makes it easy to move the EHB manually. This crane is ideal to be installed in lightweight buildings with low load-bearing ability.

Wire rope hoists
- ABUS electric wire rope hoists are the core element of our crane systems. They are also the result of many decades of research and development by ABUS. Our wire rope hoists are produced at the ABUS production plants at Gummersbach using the most advanced technology available and continue to bear witness to the reliability, and durability of our products. The SWL range of ABUS electric wire rope hoists extends from 1 t to 120 t. Our customers can choose from a wide range of models depending on application and requirements - starting with the standard wire rope hoist in the lower SWL range up to special crab unit designs incorporating additional features at the higher SWL range. However, all wire rope hoists have these characteristics in common: highest levels of uptime availability and safety within materials handling operations.
