en.Wedoany.com Reported - Jung Hebe- und Transporttechnik GmbH, based in Germany, plans to add a locking function to its JKB series slewing and traveling mechanisms starting June 2026, aiming to enhance directional stability of heavy loads under demanding conditions. Headquartered in Waiblingen, the company specializes in developing industrial systems for precisely maneuvering loads weighing several tons.

According to the company, its slewing and traveling mechanisms enable precise positioning in confined spaces through 360° rotation capability. The compact design and narrow steering wheels reduce steering and turning resistance, making load movement more controllable. The core of this improvement is the integration of a directional lock that secures the rollers under load, maintaining stable and reliable tracking even on uneven ground or when changing travel direction. This feature aims to enhance control over travel behavior, improving operational safety and precision.

The mechanism is particularly suitable for use with Jung's electric traveling mechanisms: when used as a driven wheel or steering unit, it provides stable tracking for heavy loads and enables precise maneuvering.
