the crane system …
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.
ABUS have all the resources it
takes to develop systems like
the HB in-house: experience
with hoists and overhead cranes,
high-quality production facilities

and, perhaps most important of
all, the determination to develop
more user-friendly workplaces free
from unnecessary burdens. The
task of ABUS was, and still is, to
offer the HB-System with as many
useful features as possible at as
low a cost as possible. Anyone
who needs assistance with lifting
and handling loads at their place of
work, in warehouses, workshops
or factories, should have an ABUS
HB-System available, which
means that these systems must be
affor-dable. Today’s HB-Systems
feature a combination of advanced
technology, economy, flexibility,
quality and ergonomics which has
gained full recognition in our mar-
ket.
The secret of our success has been
to fulfil the individual requirements
of each costumers application.

 ABUS HB-System
Features you can use to the full
The practical design features of the ABUS HB-System
bring perceptible benefits for users and their applica­
tions:

•W
 ith its modular design, the system can simply be
tailored to provide cost-effective solutions for users’
applications.

•A
 wide variety of suspension designs are available,
permitting installation in conditions which you would
scarcely have thought possible.

•L
 oad capacities can be defined in accordance
with individual requirements, up to 2000 kg;
later extension is often possible.

ABUS ESB monorail

• The
 number of component parts is reduced to the
bare minimum, simplifying erection, saving time and
helping to prevent errors – just what you need if your
own specialists are to erect the system.

• No special tools are required for erection.

•W
 ith the special plug-in connectors typical of ABUS
systems, electrical installation is also quick and safe.

•A
 BUS drives and hoists provide a variety of electrical
functions for more rational, safer working – with low
noise, smooth starting and lifting and smooth swit-
ching between speeds.

• In addition, all components are designed for

optimum interaction. For example, a low headroom
ABUS electric chain hoist combined with a double
rail trolley on an HB-System (types ZSB, ZHB,
ABUS EHB single-
ZHB-X, ZHB-I or ZHB-3) ensures optimum space
girder crane
utilisation and maximum hook height.

•T
 he fundamental advantages of the ABUS
HB-System continue to bear fruit in the period
following initial investment. The system can be
maintained, modified, modernised and uprated
efficiently and cost-effectively.

Keeping a high profile

Track profiles:

b) HB200
c) HB250
Distinctive features:
enclosed-track profiles
The entire load range of ABUS
HB-System up to 2000 kg is
covered by three profile types.
All the profiles are made from
cold-rolled halves welded together
to form a high-grade enclosed-track
profile, within which the load trolley
is housed.
10
b)
ABUS opted for enclosed-track pro-
files because they effectively protect
the trolley running gear and also
offer advantages in terms of main-
tenance.
They also have two additional major
advantages. The favourable struc­
tural design of the track girder
system means that wide suspension
spacing is possible, even with high
Our masterpiece: the suspension
Our engineers have paid particular
attention to the suspension, and for
good reasons too. The quality of
the suspension and connections is
an essential feature in ensuring the
quality and availability of the entire
HB-System.
A characteristic feature of the
ABUS HB-System is a flexible
suspension using ball-and-socket
joints. These low-build systems are
adjustable in height and are there-
fore particularly versatile. The pen-
dulation motion of the suspension
absorbs horizontal forces from the
crane system, reducing loads on
roof structures and buildings.
c)
load capacities. And high-grade
bolted joints warrant high joint fac-
tors and improved load capacity.
In combination, these two features
significantly reduce the work in-
volved in installing an HB-System
and enhance the productivity of the
system.
Manual operation of cranes and
trolleys is almost effortless.
Enclosed-track
profile with trolley
ABUS has a whole range of
connections for attaching
HB-­Systems to ceilings or other
elements of buildings. Together, the
suspension and the ceiling mount
ensure that an HB-System can be
installed in almost any conditions.

ABUS electric chain hoists
All ABUS HB-Systems are fitted
with ABUS chain hoists
ABUCompact. The new generation
of ABUCompact chain hoists
feature a fresh new design and
convincing technical solutions. The
3 phase 400 volt hoists units are
available in three different sizes to
reliably handle loads up to 2000 kg
with a low-build design for optimum
utilisation of the space available
and a precision lifting function for
the careful lifting and lowering of
sensitive goods.
The small GMC hoist rounds off the
ABUCompact range. With infinitely
variable lifting speed and a load
capacity of 100 kg or 200 kg, this
unit, supplied ready for connection
to a 230 V power socket, is the
ideal hoist for flexible and low
capacity applications.
Fig.
ABUCompact GM4
ABUS travel drives
When needed, the HBF friction
wheel drive provides the power
for an HB-System. The drive motor
has a smooth performance curve
for soft starting and braking.
Where loads in excess of 500 kg
are handled and the crane girder
is longer than 6 m, the HBF drive
is an almost indispensable compo-
nent of the system. These compact
units can be integrated in the trolley
itself if a double girder trolley is
used, saving approach dimensions.
crane systems
The motor and the gear unit are of
modular design, allowing us to pro-
duce a wide variety of versions for
lifting speeds up to 20 m/min and
FEM groups up to 4 m at attractive
prices.
The chain hoists have a number of
features which are particularly bene-
ficial in terms of reduced mainte­
nance requirements; long-life brake
linings (normally, adjustment is only
required after 1 million full-load bra-
king operations); permanently lubri-
cated precision gearbox; adjustable
sliding clutch; specially hardened
low-wear chain; plug-in connectors
for easy installation and maintenan-
ce and many other features.
Where single girder trolleys are
used, the chain hoist is simply
suspended from the trolley and is
ready for operation as soon as the
connectors have been plugged in.
The ABUS electric chain hoist used
in connection with double-girder
crane systems is built directly into
the crab frame without a suspen­
sion eye. This will achieve optimum
hook height in tight applications.
