DC-Wind chain hoist: A great hoist for the maintenance of wind turbines

Our DC-Wind Demag chain hoists are used for the maintenance and service of wind turbines all over the world. Both in onshore and offshore applications, DC-Wind units can overcome adverse conditions. They can safely and reliably transport loads and tools weighing up to 1,500 kg to heights of up to 180 metres.
