DCBS chain hoist
Intuitive control. Precise positioning.
Intuitive and ergonomic material handling
With our Demag DCBS chain hoist with balancer function, you can lift and position loads of up to 250 kg absolutely smoothly and completely intuitively. The highlight is the balancer function, which gives a new sense of lightness in material handling and makes the workplace even more ergonomic. Guide and position your load directly and absolutely intuitively using only your fingertips. The innovative solution for your load handling.

Control system: traditional via operating handle or innovative and directly on the load?
With the D-Grip Servo pendant controller, you can conveniently control loads with just one hand.
By pressing a button on the D-Grip Servo, you can activate a completely different feeling of load handling with load control mode or balancing mode: if your fingertips are enough to lift and lower or move a load of up to 250 kg, you will discover how fundamental our DCBS is when it comes to equipping an ergonomic workstation.
Thanks to the integrated sensors, the DCBS chain hoist automatically pre-tensions the suspended load in load pick-up mode and lifts it. Maximum precision even when joining components horizontally: the joining mode assists with compensating movements and makes the operator’s work steps easier. The load is positioned smoothly using just your fingertips.
In addition to the ergonomic benefits, the DCBS offers all the advantages of our DC chain hoist series and therefore fulfils the safety-related functions with at least Performance Level c and Category 2 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.
Features of our Demag DCBS chain hoist
Handle control
- The load is controlled very conveniently with the D-Grip Servo control handle Load control
- By switching to “Load control”, the load is guided directly by means of gentle pulses
Load pick-up mode
- Lifting and pre-tensioning the load handling attachment
- Removal of the load without sagging or rapid upward movement
- Protection for devices and machines: The balancer lifts until the preset force is reached
Ergonomic material handling
By guiding the load directly, the Demag DCBS chain hoist enables the operator to move the load smoothly in their natural posture.
The minimal effort - exerted by the hands directly on the load - allows a focus on the transport path and minimises deviating work processes for material handling. In addition to improving ergonomics, this also increases workplace safety.

The innovative control system of the Demag DCBS chain hoist
Intuitive load control
The integrated sensor system of the D-Grip Servo uses the principle of a tare function to determine the respective weight of a load on the hook and use it as an initial value. The sensor system is so sensitive that even the slight force of your fingertips is enough to set the load in motion.
Guidance directly on the load allows you to handle material more efficiently and position it precisely. Fully concentrate on the process and position intuitively.
Load pick-up mode
The load pick-up mode provides the operator with support when picking up loads. The balancer is preset and lifts the load to a preset force. The balancer pre-tensions the load handling attachment and lifts it. The load can be removed without sagging or rapid upward movement. The value can be re-configured at any time
Your devices and machinery are protected by this setting, as the load is not lifted beyond this and the chain hoist switches off automatically in an emergency.
Precise load positioning
As an operator, you can perform even more precise load positioning by manipulating the load directly. You can control the load directly by pulse and position it much more efficiently by hand-eye measurement. You avoid having to position the load using the pendant controller in one hand and holding the load with the other hand and having to readjust it frequently.
The new, intuitive control system enables not only inexperienced crane operators to position the load with ease.
External load sensor
The sensors of the D-Grip Servo can be extracted and integrated directly into the load-bearing arrangement as an external load sensor. The position of the D-Grip Servo control handle can be freely selected and various load handling attachments can be integrated. This gives you another option, for example, to transport bulky loads precisely, safely and intuitively.

Handling in Wilo’s Smart Factory
Wilo Group
Demag KBK suspension cranes are used for large-scale transport in Wilo's factory of the year. They are used by employees to move pump components from the conveyor belt or from an automated transport system (AGV) to the processing machine and from there to further conveyor technology. Depending on the application, different Demag chain hoist series (DC-Com, DC-Pro) are used, as well as assistance systems in which the worker can easily guide the load to the destination with hand movements (DCMS-Pro Manulift, DCBS-Pro with “Balancer” function).
Demag offers a comprehensive portfolio of tailor-made solutions, high-quality products and a wide range of consulting and other services. Our offerings range from high-performance standard components to fully customised complete systems for use in small businesses to global corporations.
The result: reliable solutions that increase our customers’ productivity and ensure their safety.
