EKKE Single-Girder Overhead Travelling Cranes

MHE-Demag is the manufacturer and supplier of electric overhead cranes and parts in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan & Vietnam.

Our EKKE single-girder overhead travelling cranes (electric overhead crane) feature maximum rigidity for a minimum deadweight. This keeps the load on the crane runway to a minimum – and a cost-effective design can be selected for the building. This approach provides you with a cost-effective solution. They also include a hoist unit with high handling speeds and the benefits of outstanding crane geometry, resulting in exceptional travel characteristics. For greater overall efficiency. What other benefits do EKKE units offer?

• Crane girders made of computer-optimised box sections
• End carriages of torsionally rigid, welded box-section design
• Improved cost-effectiveness offered by the hoist thanks to extended service life as part of the Demag standard design
• Improved load handling thanks to increased lifting and cross-travel speeds
• Low-sway load motions thanks to infinitely variable cross-travel speeds (optional)

High stability and design rigidity

• Torsionally rigid, enclosed box-section profile with reinforced connection (welded diaphragm plates)
• End carriages of torsionally rigid, welded box-section design
• Favourable travel characteristics and minimum wear thanks to low-maintenance drives
• Travel wheels of highly wear-resistant GGG 70 spheroidal-graphite cast iron with self-lubricating properties
• Optimum travel characteristics with minimum wear of crane runway and travel wheels

Highly cost-effective

• Low deadweight reduces investment layout – crane girders made of computer-optimised box sections
• Reliable monitoring and preventive maintenance thanks to modern technology to meet tomorrow’s demands for high data transmission reliability (category 3 to DIN/EN 954)
• Optimum utilisation of the available height and space thanks to compact travelling hoist design and large hook path
• Reduced construction and operating costs thanks to optimised designs

Efficiency and performance

• Minimum wear of crane runway and travel wheels thanks to low-maintenance drives
• Control pendant suspended for separate travel on the crane girder with display for installation monitoring
• Power supply to the crab by means of highly flexible flat cable with protective earth conductor
• Optional radio control with power and signal transmission via energy chain system
• Optional radio control with display and proportional pushbuttons
• Monitoring for improved installation transparency
• Improved utilisation of your production area thanks to minimum approach dimensions
