Precise control by joystick or hand-held transmitter
DSC-5 and DSC-7 control pendants
Compact and ergonomic: DSC-5 and DSC-7 control pendants for operation of chain hoists
With the DSC-5 or DSC-7 control pendants, users literally have hands-on control of Demag DC chain hoists. DSC-5 is much more compact than previous control pendants designed for controlling two motion axes (lifting and cross travel). DSC5 and DSC7 control pendants fit well in the user’s hand and allows both left and right-handed operators to control the hoist safely, reliably and intuitively, both with and without gloves. Single-handed control also makes it possible for the operator to manipulate the load with a free hand at the same time.
- One-hand operation - allows simultaneous handling of the load with the other hand
- DSC-5: 2-axis control pendant for 2-axis operation
- Ergonomic: low actuation forces enable fatigue-free operation
- Directional stickers are covered and protected by transparent hard plastic caps
- Modern design
- Easy installation thanks to proven plug-in connection
- Wear and impact-resistant housing
- Clear switching points
- Safe 24 V low-voltage design
- High resistance to impacts, abrasion resistance
- IP65 enclosure
- Largely resistant to aggressive media (fuels, oils, greases, salt water, cooling lubricants, diluted lyes)
- Resistance to ageing and UV light of the housing parts
- Use in enclosed rooms and outdoors
- Operating temperature range: –20°C to +60°C (storage: -25° to +70°C)

DRC MJ mini joystick
Ergonomic. Efficient. Intuitive.
You can control your cranes safely and precisely with the Demag DRC MJ hand-held transmitter, while concentrating fully on the handling task. By controlling your crane with two joysticks, you can intuitively and easily move it on three levels – and always keep the load safely in sight at the same time.
This transmitter is ideally suited for intuitive control with just one hand, since you can precisely control combined crane and crab motions with one thumb.
The compact transmitter design ensures fatigue-free control, even after several hours of operation.

D3 radio control
Demag D3 radio control: our goal – the best of its class
The safety and efficiency of a manually controlled crane is largely influenced by control equipment.
Radio controls offer freedom of movement and improved safety. As the control system for Demag V-type cranes, the latest generation of the DRC range of equipment, the DRC D3 radio control system, provides important features. The hand-held transmitters as well as the receivers meet the requirements of the future EN 300 328 V 1.8.1 radio standard.
Very long battery life
The battery integrated in the hand-held transmitter can be fully charged within just 2.5 hours and can be used for uninterrupted operation for up to 5 days.
Rapid change between transmitters
Up to three transmitters can be logged onto a crane and control can be switched between them at the press of a button, without hampering operating processes. In this way, individual cranes can be simply handed over from one worker to another. Control can be switched between transmitters within seconds.
Speed limit function
The crane operating speed can be set to 30, 50 or 70% of the maximum speed.
Transmitter density and co-existence
The highly reliable and robust radio transmission method is resistant to interference and allows up to 40 radio systems to be operated close to each other. The adaptive radio transmission method automatically checks whether a given transmission channel is available or already in use by another device. They can co-exist with other systems operating in the same frequency range in their immediate vicinity.
Better transparency
The hand-held transmitters are equipped with a monochrome display to indicate the payload and a vibration alarm to warn against overloads.
Improved safety and reliability
With a range of up to one hundred metres, the system enables the operator to control an installation at a safe distance without having to enter any potentially hazardous areas.
Basic equipment
- DRC-10 D3 hand-held transmitters are available in two variants: stepless and 2-stage
- A silicone case with a receiver (DRC DR D3), an aerial (DR 3 20 2400 MHz D3) and a plug-in charger
