You Measure Everything…
Or so you think.
Load weights. Cycle times. Downtime. Injuries. Throughput. You track it all. But there’s one silent metric that rarely shows up in dashboards—yet costs you more than you realize:
Friction.
Not the mechanical kind.
The human kind.
The physical effort required to move materials safely and precisely throughout your facility.
And if you’re not measuring it, you’re likely paying for it.
What Does Friction Look Like?
You see it every day:
- Operators adjusting their stance just to lift safely
- Repeated micro-movements while aligning a load
- End-of-shift fatigue that kills precision
- “Good enough” placements that lead to bigger inefficiencies later
- Bodies breaking down, call-offs increasing, turnover climbing
This is the cost of invisible effort.
And the QLR was built to eliminate it.
Meet the QLR: Quick-Lift Rail by KUNDEL
The QLR is a next-generation lifting system that removes friction from your workflow by responding to the operator’s intention—not their strength.
- Lift up to 600kg with only 20g of pressure
- Engage float mode to precisely position a load with zero effort
- Release the handle, and it stops instantly—no drift or overshoot
- Mounts directly to your existing rail system—no major changes needed
It’s more than an ergonomic win. It’s a performance multiplier.
Is Friction the Hidden Bottleneck in Your Process?
| Without QLR | With QLR |
| Operator fatigue builds across the shift | Operators move heavier loads with minimal effort |
| Speed & placement consistency vary by person | Every load is placed with consistent control |
| Training depends heavily on strength & experience | Easy to learn, safe to use, and fatigue-resistant |
| Fatigue leads to avoidable errors & inefficiency | Output increases, injuries drop, turnover improves |
Most operations leaders don’t realize how much time, safety, and productivity they’re losing—until they see what work looks like without friction.
“They are in it to make the world safer; One hoist at a time!”

Watch It in Action: The QLR in Motion
What does lifting up to 600 kg with the effort of holding an egg actually look like?
This demo shows how QuickLift Rail Units combine intelligent control with effortless operation—using just 20g of force to move heavy materials with precision and ease.
Available in five max capacities:
50 kg, 125 kg, 200 kg, 300 kg, and 600kg
With customizable grippers and ergonomic control, the QLR fits a variety of industrial applications—from light assembly to heavy-duty lifting.

Ready For That Upgrade?
If you’re not measuring friction, you’re not seeing the full picture.
The QLR doesn’t just improve lifting—it rewrites the rules of how work gets done.
With less effort, less risk, and more consistency.
And the best part? You’ll feel the difference on day one.
