Chain Hoists

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

Two chain lead-offs – tandem operation

Two chain hoists can be used in tandem as an alternative to mechanically synchronised double chain hoists for transporting long materials and car bodies, etc.

  • Parallel control from one control point
  • Tandem control (not synchronised control) for safe operation as a „group“ according to DIN EN 15011.
  • Individual chain hoists can be controlled by means of a selector switch.
Further KLDC-lead-off positions
  • KLDC-D double chain hoist: low-headroom design, 3/4 lead-off position
  • Alternative lead-off positions depending on the size of the load handling attachments
  • KLDC-D double chain hoist: low-headroom design, 4/5 lead-off position
