Demag DR Rope Hoists

Demag DR rope hoists meet all the requirements of state-of-the-art hoist units and give you the certainty of a secure long-term investment. Besides their particularly long service life, they also offer comprehensive standard features at an attractive price.

Higher hoist speed for faster handling

Most Demag DR rope hoist models have a lifting speed of at least 6 m/min with 4/1 revving as standard.

Higher availability for greater efficiency

DR rope hoists are supplied with an increased FEM classification. The rope drive mechanism precisely meets FEM specifications, however, the gearbox service life is 20% longer. This means that there is 20% more time before the general overhaul is due when the safe working period has elapsed. The generous dimensioning of all components also ensures constant availability. The modular rope hoist design facilitates simple and rapid maintenance and repair of individual components, minimizing downtime.

In addition to the economic benefits, Demag DR rope hoists also provide a high level of safety and reliability for the operator and the load.
