ABUS Levage France has successfully supplied and installed two overhead cranes at the facility of MKTS, supporting the company’s efforts to improve efficiency in handling heavy and oversized loads. The installation includes a double-girder overhead crane with a lifting capacity of 36 tonnes, equipped with two 20-tonne hoists, and a span of 16,440 mm. In addition, a single-girder overhead crane with an 8-tonne capacity and the same span has been deployed. These systems have been designed to meet MKTS’ operational requirements for safe and efficient lifting in its specialized logistics operations.
The project was managed in close collaboration between the two companies, with MKTS’ engineering team overseeing the evaluation and selection process. By leveraging a database of standardized components, the team ensured that the selected equipment aligned precisely with operational needs while maintaining reliability and performance standards.
ABUS Levage France highlighted the project as an example of strong partnership and mutual trust, noting that such collaborations often evolve into long-term customer relationships. The company also acknowledged the contribution of its sales and technical teams, whose expertise and commitment ensured smooth execution from planning through installation.
Operating from Nancy, ABUS Levage France is the French subsidiary of ABUS Kransysteme. The group manufactures lifting systems across three production facilities in Germany, adhering to established industry standards, including FEM regulations. Since its establishment in 1986, the French arm has delivered a wide range of lifting solutions, including overhead cranes, winches, and jib cranes, tailored to industrial applications.
MKTS specializes in the transport of exceptional and oversized loads, managing complex logistics operations with specialized vehicles and experienced personnel. The addition of the new overhead cranes is expected to strengthen its operational capabilities and improve handling efficiency at its facility. In a recent project, ABUS Levage France also installed two ELS overhead cranes with 10-tonne capacities and a span of 28,240 mm at a site in Goxwiller, France, further demonstrating its expertise in delivering customized lifting solutions across industries.
