DH wire rope hoists

Our DH series hoists are universally applicable and feature technical characteristics that enable reliable load handling even in extreme conditions.

In combination with proven contactor control, DH hoists guarantee reliable operation even in harsh environments with high operating temperatures, heavy dust and aggressive atmospheres.

Demag DH series hoists can be used in a wide range of applications, both on cranes and single-girder cranes and in stationary operation. High-performance hoists feature exceptional technical characteristics that enable reliable load handling even under extreme demands. Demag DH is more than just lifting; permanently installed or mobile, more than just hoists – thanks to sensitive handling of high capacities of up to 100 tonnes and flexible integration into any structure.

DH hoists are robust and ensure reliable operation in harsh conditions. The Demag hoist is designed for demanding applications such as foundries or galvanizing plants with high ambient temperatures, heavy dust and aggressive environments, and withstands the harsh conditions for wire rope hoists.

Thanks to the modular concept and flexible mounting positions, the DH hoist can be easily integrated into any structure. Its variability and options allow an almost unlimited range of applications. For example, you may encounter the hoist in pumping stations, haulage equipment and architectural applications, either directly or at second glance in the form of a hoist.

High switching frequency and duty time thanks to mechanical brake motors with creep speed and conical rotor, even at high ambient temperatures

Optimal structural behaviour thanks to the special shape of the travelling wheel, which transmits the wheel loads close to the centre of the girder

Demag DH hoists are based on perfectly matched and robustly dimensioned components. As a result, they offer optimal conditions for individual solutions, even for demanding tasks. Demag DH series hoists are used worldwide and have proven to be exceptionally reliable and operationally safe.
