Demag universal cranes Performance and efficiency at the highest level Our universal cranes Our universal cranes give you the certainty of quality, efficiency and reliability at the highest level. Every crane and every crane component reflects decades of crane expertise and reliability as a partner for the industry. The Demag product portfolio includes single and double-girder overhead travelling cranes and suspension cranes. Besides universal cranes with welded box-section girders, we also offer solutions with rolled steel sections. Our wall-mounted travelling cranes and crane sets, which are tailored to meet specific customer needs, round off our range. With our assistance and convenience functions, our cranes provide safety and support during operation. See all the performance details and benefits on the product pages. V-type crane The V-type crane revolutionises load handling. Its innovative design featuring tapered diaphragm joints reduces oscillation frequency by 30%, cuts its weight by an average of 17% and doubles its service life to as many as 500,000 changes of load. EKKE single-girder overhead travelling cranes up to 16 tonnes Optimum performance and cost-effectiveness EPKE single-girder overhead travelling cranes up to 16 tonnes For cost-effective handling – efficient and integrated to meet specific requirements EPDE single-girder suspension cranes up to 16 tonnes For column-free handling of loads up to 6.3 tonnes EKDE single-girder suspension cranes up to 8 tonnes Overhead handling – for loads weighing up to 16 tonnes ZPKE double-girder overhead travelling cranes ZPKE double-girder overhead travelling cranes are the cost-effective entry-level models for Demag indoor cranes. ZKKE double-girder overhead travelling cranes A solid investment in handling efficiency and performance EKWK wall-mounted travelling cranes up to 6.3 tonnes Supporting processes at the workplace Crane sets Tailored component packages for cranes V-type cranes: Less is more. The Demag V-type girder is the basis for a completely new generation of crane girders: the girder design concept for improved precision and flexibility. DMR modular rope hoist Reliable hoist unit for loads weighing up to 50 t. High FEM classification for even more hours of service. Compact design with minimum approach dimensions for optimum utilization of the available space. FEM classification: up to 4 m (6,300 hours at full load) Variable cross-travel speeds as standard (3 - 30 m/min); optional: two-speed design Smooth travel characteristics thanks to high-strength steel travel wheels and guide rollers for long service life Drive concept to meet your needs: DualDrive/DualDrive Plus ❮❯ Tapered diaphragm joints The V-type girder design based on bionic principles and innovative diaphragm joints are particularly effective at absorbing pressure and tensile forces acting on the crane. This, in turn, reduces natural vibrations significantly. Improved precision for load handling thanks to reduced oscillation Reduced pressure and tensile forces acting on the crane Increased crane handling rates as loads settle more quickly ❮❯ Crane end carriages Smooth running characteristics and precise motions with variable-speed DFO/DFM or two-speed DFW II crane end carriages. They are designed to last the crane’s entire service life and accordingly require very little maintenance. Torsionally rigid box-section profiles Travel speeds up to 40 m/min Variable-speed long-travel motions with DFO and DFM travel units Two-speed long-travel motions with rugged Demag drives (DFW II) Versatile options, such as drop stops, wind anchors, rain covers, buffer extensions and rail sweepers for additional safety ❮❯ SafeControl High safety and reliability: The smart SafeControl system can detect dangerous scenarios before they happen and protect the crane from dangerous situations – especially in complex operating modes or when several cranes are used on the same crane runway. Pro-active crane safety cut-off Automatic corrective crane motions Efficient load positioning Ensures safety for complex operating modes (Smart) tandem Turning loads By-pass control ❮❯ Energy chain Protected power supply with energy chain along the crane bridge. Power safely supplied along the crane girder Improved safety thanks to larger clearance dimensions High level of protection and reduced cable wear thanks to guided system Better coverage thanks to compact dimensions and by eliminating accumulated cables ❮❯ Connection variants A broad range of models ensures that the cranes can match the given building design. Crane girders can be installed on the side or on top of the end carriage. Crane bridge with a wide range of combinations of connection variants and girder types Crane bridge height and shape can be adapted to match specific building requirements ❮❯ Pendant controllers or radio control Customized control concepts with pendant controllers or radio control. Many options and accessories can be supplied for both control variants. Rugged and ergonomic DSE and DST pendant controllers Radio control: DRC, DRC-J or DRC-MJ with very long battery life Rapid change between radio transmitters at the press of a button Intuitive crane control with joysticks Can be retrofitted ❮❯ Smart tandem (assistance function) Safe handling of bulky loads: simple and safe selection of single or smart tandem control. Continuous monitoring and support throughout the transport sequence by the smart SafeControl system. Safe and efficient handling of long material and bulky loads Tandem control of one crane with two hoists Smart tandem control of two cranes with up to four hoists Safe and reliable switch-over between operating modes Precise position control thanks to Demag tandem control concept ❮❯ Load-sway reduction (assistance function) Assistance function for handling loads: sway motions can be detected by continuous measurement of the rope angle and compensated by dedicated correction of the travel motions. Support for load handling through independent corrective action by the crane Faster and more precise positioning of the load Collisions with other machinery and equipment can be avoided Improved safety – also for less experienced crane operators ❮❯ Turning loads (assistance function) Safely exceeding limits: loads can be turned by up to 180° degrees. The inclined pull and the lifting or lowering motions of the hoists are corrected during the turning process. Turning loads weighing up to 50 t Turning process up to 180° Safe and reliable monitoring of the turning process by rope angle sensors Safe and reliable cut-off of lifting and travel motions if the maximum permissible rope angles are exceeded Requirements for safe control systems according to standard EN ISO 13849-1 are fulfilled Crane operating errors can be avoided ❮❯ DMR modular rope hoist Tapered diaphragm joints Crane end carriages SafeControl Energy chain Connection variants Pendant controllers or radio control Smart tandem (assistance function) Load-sway reduction (assistance function) Turning loads (assistance function) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Interested?
