DCBS Chain Hoist - 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. Based on our DC chain hoist range, the Demag Cranes DCBS includes balancer function that allows loads be guided and precisely positioned with ease, making them vital lift assist devices for your operations.
Our chain hoist balancer DCBS units are available in three 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 jib cranes. This gives you a range of application options to use your electric balancer. If you want to implement an application with lifting masts, manipulators or your own load-handling attachments, the remote handle controller sensors can be installed in the load-bearing arrangement.

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 balancer only lifts until a preset force is reached
