Overview
Our compact hoist units offer outstanding performance, reliability and a high level of operating safety in daily use.
We have set a new industry benchmark with our DC-Pro chain hoist, which already includes a large number of equipment features as standard. We offer a variety of compact hoist units in finely graded load capacities from 80 kg to 5,000 kg. One example: DC-Wind for service work on wind turbines. Two other examples: Manulift for handling loads quickly and safely with only one hand and SpeedHoist for ergonomic load handling at even higher speeds.
Demag chain hoist with balancer function
Higher availability for greater efficiency
Intuitive load handling has never been so easy and, at the same time, efficient: Based on our DC range, DCBS chain hoists include a balancer function that allows loads be guided and precisely positioned with ease. DCBS units are available in two sizes with load capacities up to 160 kg. They are compatible with our comprehensive Demag KBK light cranesystem. DCBS units can easily travel on KBK profile section rails: on single-girder suspension cranes, suspension monorail systems or on slewing jib cranes

Load pick-up mode
- Load handling attachments can be lifted and pre-tensioned
- Load can be removed without dropping or sudden upward pull
- Protection for jigs and machinery. The balancer only lifts until a preset force is reached.
