Performance - Demag has developed an innovative hoist with performance in mind.
The Demag hoist is standard with high lifting speeds of 48, 32, or 24 fpm proving you the performance required for today's high production environments.   For your high production needs, where accuracy is a must, the Demag DC-Pro and DCM-Pro are equipped with a second slow speed (4:1 ratio high to low). Due to an innovated control system the DC-Pro Chain Hoist is ideal for your high cycling applications with a starts per hour rating of 360.

Reliability - Your production should not be slowed due to an equipment breakdown.  That is why Demag developed their new DC-Pro Chain Hoist and DCM-Pro Manulift to operated at a FEM 2m+ (1900 full load hours), which means 20% more service life than HMI H4 rating.
Each hoist is designed with a 5 or 6 pocket sprocket; this provides a smooth operation which increases with operator's load handling efficiency. The DC-Pro1, DC-Pro2, DC-Pro5, DC-Pro10 and DCM-Pro models are all reeved 1/1; this increases the life span of the chain and duration of time between scheduled maintenance.  Your production will not be halted due to a brake failure.  By utilizing a regenerative breaking circuit, the brake is designed to last the lifetime of the hoist. The operational and fault code display for planning maintenance around your production schedule.  Demag's unique operational and fault code display reduces your production down time by identifying the source of the problem.

Safety - Protect your operators from costly injuries by utilizing Demag's DC-Pro and DCM-Pro standard safety features.
The hoist is standard with two lifting speeds providing the operator with the ability to use the slow speed to position those difficult to maneuver loads.  The hoist is equipped with a slip clutch to prevent it from encountering an overload condition.  The standard upper and lower limit switches prevent driving the bottom block into the bottom of the hoist.  Thus, protecting the slip clutch from unnecessary wear, which limits its ability to prevent an overload.  The pushbutton operates at 24 volts limiting the operator's exposure to dangerous high voltage.  The pushbutton pendant can be adjusted in the filed to an ergonomically correct position in relation to the operator.  A pushbutton correctly adjusted, reduces the risk your operators face from repetitive motion.  The Demag hoist under 4000 lbs. capacity are designed utilizing single fall chain drops, which reduce hazardous pinch points inherent to 2 to 1 reeved hoists.  The internal diagnostics of the hoist monitors many of the safety features such as the slip clutch, brake wear, and phases.  The monitor provides data, via an infrared signal to your PC, notifying the user of a possible breakdown before it happens.

Maintenance - All hoists require some maintenance, but Demag has made it easier.
Many of the replacement parts are of a modular design which, minimizes the time to repair the hoist.  In addition, the modular design improves the hoists reliability because, you are not solely replacing the worn components but all the related parts as well.  The hoists are designed with maintenance panel providing your service personnel easy access to the chain set, quick-disconnects, and an adjustable pendant cable.  Demag centrally locates all the mechanical components behind one panel and the electrical components behind another IP55 (outdoor rated) enclosure.
