Chain hoist with KDC low-headroom travelling hoist

Maximum lifting height

Demag KDC low-headroom travelling hoist: Optimum utilization of space with particularly large C dimension

The particularly compact KDC monorail travelling hoist offers extremely low headroom for optimum utilisation of the hook path. KDC hoists can be used with all trolley variants, for example in combination with KBK suspension cranes or KBK monorails. Therefore, you can easily move loads weighing up to 2,000 kg over any area or from point to point. You have the choice between 2-stage or variable lifting and cross-travel speeds.

KDC 42318

KDC monorail travelling hoists offer the same benefits as our entire range of DC chain hoists.

Safe. By Demag.

All KDC units are equipped with operating limit switches for the highest and lowest hook position as standard, ensuring convenient lifting and lowering with the chain hoist at all times. Smooth cross-travel starting and braking motions of the trolley provide for low-sway load handling. The safety-related functions satisfy Performance Level c and Category 2 to EN ISO 13849-1 as a minimum requirement.

Durable components for uncompromising cost-efficiency

The components installed in the DC chain hoist range are selected for their longevity. The generously specified gearbox allows for FEM classification up to 4m and, therefore, 6,300 hours of operation for demanding applications.

Customer benefits at a glance

Safety

Low-voltage control pendant thanks to 24 V contactor control system
Safety-related functions satisfy at least Performance Level c and Category 2 to EN ISO 13849-1

Minimum load sway

Smooth cross-travel starting and braking motions for low-sway load handling
Speeds and acceleration/braking rates can be modified by means of the control pendant, if required

Long service life

Generously specified gearbox. 2m+ (1,900 hours) for main load capacities and up to 4m (6,300 hours) for demanding applications
All sub-assemblies of the chain hoist are rated for a long service life, even under the most demanding conditions

Temperature range

Reliable operation from -20 °C to +45 °C without any reduction in the duty factor
Operation also possible up to 60 °C and more

Ergonomics

Length of control cable or position of control pendant can be adjusted without the need for any wiring
Length of control cable that is not needed can be stored under the service cover

High-performance motor

Hoist motor has large safety reserves to provide for reliable operation for many years
Can be used for switching cycles way beyond usual market levels

Pro-Hub function

Up to 90% higher rated lifting speed in reduced load range

Easy to service

Gearbox & slipping clutch maintenance-free for up to 10 years
Brake maintenance-free for up to 10 years (up to 5 years for DC 10–25)
Simple and rapid maintenance and repair of individual components thanks to the modular chain hoist design – cuts any downtime to a minimum

Variable speeds

Valuable and sensitive parts can be moved and positioned more smoothly and reliably
Variable button characteristic like a car accelerator pedal

Status display

Display for elapsed operating time counter and operating statuses
Always up-to-date for service purposes

Slipping clutch monitoring

Harmful continuous slipping eliminated thanks to speed monitoring
Reliable protection against extreme overload
Load securely held in any operating situation and cannot drop while hoist is at standstill, since brake is arranged in front of the slipping clutch in load-bearing arrangement
