If you’ve been around cranes long enough, you know the routine: plenty of systems can move a load from point A to B, but they all come with quirks you learn to work around.
Wasted space overhead. Push/pull that leaves you sore. Maintenance calls that show up like clockwork. It’s the kind of stuff people shrug off as “just how it is.”
That’s the mindset the KTRAC was designed to break.
Space That Actually Gets Used
Coverage is where most cranes give up ground. Headers in the way, festoon lines catching, layouts that never quite work the way they should. The KTRAC cleans that up. It opens up to 30% more usable coverage without asking you to rearrange the shop.
Movement Without the Fight
Run a crane long enough and you notice every ounce of resistance. That push that drags on your shoulders, the jolt when you stop a load, the awkward angle when you switch directions. The KTRAC takes the edge off all of it.
With 3-ton push/pull capacity and noticeably lighter movement, it just feels smoother to run. By the end of a shift, that matters.
Costs That Don’t Creep Up on You
The number everyone wants to know: what does it cost to live with over time? Here’s the short answer: less.
- Installs for about half the cost of most crane setups
- Limited Lifetime warranty = zero maintenance and repair bills
- 40% lower total cost of ownership at the seven-year mark
- No hidden surprises. No nickel-and-diming.
Sometimes the smartest design is the one that makes you forget about the problems you used to have.
What About Lighter Lifts?
Not every job calls for a 3-ton system. For smaller facilities and lighter-duty applications, KUNDEL also builds the SNAPTRAC. It’s a modular ½-ton workstation crane that ships quickly, installs fast, and gives shops a flexible solution without overbuilding. Think of it as the compact cousin to the KTRAC. Lighter capacity, simpler setup, but still engineered to eliminate the usual overhead crane frustrations.
At the end of the day, cranes shouldn’t create new problems , they should quietly solve the ones you’ve been working around for years.
Whether it’s the heavy-duty reach of the KTRAC or the lighter flexibility of the SNAPTRAC, KUNDEL designs overhead crane systems that deliver more coverage, smoother movement, and predictable costs.
