A Legacy of Trust and Reliability<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Demag products<\/a> are robust solutions trusted by our customers for reliability and long service life. But an overhead crane is much more than the sum of its parts. The individual components included on a custom overhead crane are critical components of the entire solution to meet the requirements of the job. Choose overhead crane components to engineer into your project that offer the reliability and efficiency the application needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifting Heavy Loads with Wire Rope Hoists<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Demag wire rope hoists have achieved legendary status in the eyes of our customers. From the most loved P hoist to our current DH wire rope hoist model, customers trust Demag hoists for reliable, efficient, and safe operation. Whether you need a standard wire rope hoist that will be used in a standard environment or a hoist that can withstand an extreme environment, Demag has a wire rope hoist to meet your needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demag DVR Wire Rope Hoist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Demag DVR wire rope hoist<\/a> is flexible and configurable to meet nearly any need in a standard environment, the DVR hoist is a compact, versatile, and high performance solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in 4 configurations and 5 sizes, the DVR hoist lifts loads from 1 – 80 tons. Its modular design makes it ideal to meet the many standard environments found in manufacturing environments. Choose variable speed or two-speed hoists to meet your unique needs. Add the optional Demag DST pendant<\/a> for familiar control and use smart features to tailor the hoist to your requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demag DH Wire Rope Hoist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As your customer\u2019s requirements become more aggressive, the Demag DH wire rope hoist<\/a> is a solution for non-standard environments<\/a> and non-standard lifting requirements. The hoist offers long lift, high capacity, and precision not found in standard hoist. An optional load hold brake holds the heaviest loads when needed in applications like aerospace<\/a> and automotive<\/a> manufacturing. In aggressive environments, like galvanizing or any environment with high moisture, high chemicals, or high particles, the DH hoist performs. It is comprised of mechanical motors and contact or control, eliminating electrical components that may not survive the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End Truck Travel Solutions<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Recognized for our crane and overhead lifting expertise, Demag components can be used in your customized projects. Critical components of an overhead crane are the end trucks. Demag end truck solutions<\/a> are ready to connect to your customized crane or load bearing structure. The critical components to optimizing travel of the end trucks are the motors, gearboxes, and wheels. Providing the correct torque and speed with a gear motor will optimize the end truck to your application. Demag designs end truck solutions for optimal travel with smooth starts and stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powering Efficient and Precise Trolley and Bridge Travel<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to driving crane bridges and trolleys, opt for the recognizable Demag blue motor. The Demag K motor<\/a> is a gear motor or AC induction motor<\/a> and is trusted in extreme and aggressive environments due to its design. Its conical rotor motor design has an integrated, mechanical brake that does not require inverter control, an important factor in aggressive environments with high heat, moisture, particulates, pickling plants, and more. The motors provide smooth acceleration and deceleration mechanically with an additional flywheel. This eliminates wear to the wheel and the crane rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the conical rotor K motor a fit for aggressive environments, but it is also used in the Demag FG Microspeed motor combination<\/a> for the highest precision. The FG Microspeed<\/a> delivers very precise positioning and travel<\/a> with a main and microspeed motor. The dual motors allow for a wide mechanical difference in speeds from very fast to very slow, with the potential for 500-600:1 speed range, depending on your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheels for Smooth Runway Travel<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Uni-directional wheels are critical for efficient travel of the end trucks on overhead crane rails. Depending on the capacity needs of your application, the end truck is equipped with 2-4 wheels. It\u2019s important these components are easy to install and maintain while providing reliable performance over the service life of the equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demag Wheel System solutions are modular and versatile for a variety of applications like use in overhead crane end trucks, transfer cars, indexers and more. The Demag DRS-M and DRS wheel block solutions<\/a> are the gold standard. It is a complete wheel solution with the wheel, bearings and housing, ready for mounting to any end truck or superstructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
