DCBS Chain Hoist with Electric Balancer

Intuitive Control. Precise Positioning.

Our Demag Electric Balancer Makes Loads Easy to Guide

Intuitive Load Handling for Greater Efficiency

Intuitive load handling has never been so easy and, at the same time, efficient. The DCBS Electric balancer is part of our DC chain hoist line, allowing loads to be guided and precisely positioned with ease, making it a vital lift assist device for your operations.

Our chain hoist balancer DCBS units are available in two sizes with load capacities up to 550 pounds. Additionally, these electric balancers are compatible with our comprehensive Demag KBK light crane system. DCBS units can easily travel on KBK profile section rails: on single-girder suspension cranes, suspension monorail systems, or on slewing jib cranes. This gives you a range of application options to use your electric balancer.

Electric Balancer Product information

The Benefits at a Glance

Grip Control

  • Easily control the load with the D-Grip Servo control handle as part of our electric balancer

Load Positioning

  • By switching over to “load positioning mode,” the operator can grasp and guide the load with the hands to directly move with light pressure

Assembly Mode

  • Oscillation and uncontrolled load movements are suppressed in “assembly mode” to be ergonomic and provide for precise motions in your processes

Load Pick-Up Mode

  • Load handling attachments will be lifted to a pre-tensioned height
  • Load can be removed without dropping or sudden upward pull to protect jigs and machinery, as the electric balancer only lifts until a preset force is reached
