V-type crane

The key to higher handling rates: revolutionary product design.

Precise, fast, long service life – the Demag V-type crane revolutionises load handling. Its innovative design featuring tapered diaphragm joints improves oscillation characteristics by 30%, cuts its weight by an average of 17% and doubles its service life to as many as 500,000 changes of load. Our new girder design offers significantly improved efficiency for handling loads and higher handling rates than conventional box-section girders.

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 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.
