Limestone Gantry Crane, Overhead Cranes in Germany

Overhead handling – for loads weighing up to 16 tonnes
Our EKDE suspension cranes are mainly characterized by high torsional rigidity thanks to their welded box-section design. The cranes run on tracks that are simply attached to the existing roof structure – columns to support the crane runway are not needed. This design saves time and money. And it saves space, leaving your entire workshop area available for production. Further benefits?
Computer-optimized box-section profile used for the crane girder for optimum load distribution
Specific sections of the workshop can be served
Lateral overhangs to extend the cross-travel path beyond the runway span
Loads can be handled immediately adjacent to the building wall by means of girder ends tailored to your application requirements
Engineering tolerances for minimum wear

Large lifting heights for small spans
ZPKE double-girder overhead traveling cranes are the cost-effective entry-level models for Demag indoor cranes. ZPKE profile-section girders impress by virtue of their high degree of efficiency and offer an alternative to box-section girders – especially for small spans. The lifting height is high however – because the load hook can be raised between the two crane girders. The use of rolled steel sections as crane girders and specially developed rope hoist trolleys create an economically attractive overall package for double-girder overhead traveling cranes.
Further strengths of ZPKE
High long and cross-travel speeds thanks to high-performance double-girder design
End carriages of optimized design to suit the structure
Minimum approach dimensions thanks to compact trolley design
Crane control to meet application requirements: by radio control, pendant controller
Low-sway travel motions for smooth handling and exact positioning of loads thanks to optional frequency-inverter control
Crane components offering high operating safety and reliability

With our DC-Pro chain hoist, we meet our own high standards in terms of quality and innovation.The DC-Pro chain hoist is a fully featured, highly versatile chain hoist, which can be installed and put into service in minimum time. Many features that have to be ordered and bought as extras elsewhere are already integrated as standard. The result:
"all inclusive" features at no extra cost
two lifting speeds as standard
improved safety thanks to 24 V contactor control, operating limit switches and elapsed operating time counter as standard
slipping clutch with automatic cut-out by means of speed monitoring
optimum ergonomics and ease of service
main components are maintenance-free for up to 10 years.

Starting and stopping with maximum performance
Simple, robust and reliable – these are the key characteristics of our KB conical-rotor brake motors. Their unique brake operating principle eliminates the need for separate control or additional switching elements. This is due to the mechanical connection between the brake and rotor. The result:
particularly high braking performance
approval for operation with extremely high switching frequencies
two-speed pole-changing motors
drives for starting-and-stopping applications and for direct line-fed travel motions
resistance to temporary overload
KB motors can be connected to gearboxes via a coupling.

Demag D3 radio control: our goal – the best of its class
The safety and efficiency of a manually controlled crane is largely influenced by control equipment.
Radio controls offer freedom of movement and improved safety. As the control system for Demag V-type cranes, the latest generation of the DRC range of equipment, the DRC D3 radio control system, provides important features. The hand-held transmitters as well as the receivers meet the requirements of the future EN 300 328 V 1.8.1 radio standard.
Very long battery life
The battery integrated in the hand-held transmitter can be fully charged within just 2.5 hours and can be used for uninterrupted operation for up to 5 days.
Rapid change between transmitters
Up to three transmitters can be logged onto a crane and control can be switched between them at the press of a button, without hampering operating processes. In this way, individual cranes can be simply handed over from one worker to another. Control can be switched between transmitters within seconds.

Speed limit function
The crane operating speed can be set to 30, 50 or 70% of the maximum speed.
Transmitter density and co-existence
The highly reliable and robust radio transmission method is resistant to interference and allows up to 40 radio systems to be operated close to each other. The adaptive radio transmission method automatically checks whether a given transmission channel is available or already in use by another device. They can co-exist with other systems operating in the same frequency range in their immediate vicinity.
Better transparency
The hand-held transmitters are equipped with a monochrome display to indicate the payload and a vibration alarm to warn against overloads.
Improved safety and reliability
With a range of up to one hundred metres, the system enables the operator to control an installation at a safe distance without having to enter any potentially hazardous areas.
Basic equipment
DRC-10 D3 hand-held transmitters are available in two variants: stepless and 2-stage
A silicone case with a receiver (DRC DR D3), an aerial (DR 3 20 2400 MHz D3) and a plug-in charger

With the DSC-3, DSC-5 or DSC-7 control pendants, users literally have hands-on control of Demag DC chain hoists. DSC-5 is much more compact than previous control pendants designed for controlling two motion axes (lifting and cross travel). DSC5 and DSC7 control pendants fit well in the user’s hand and allows both left and right-handed operators to control the hoist safely, reliably and intuitively, both with and without gloves. Single-handed control also makes it possible for the operator to manipulate the load with a free hand at the same time.
The benefits at a glance
One-hand operation - allows simultaneous handling of the load with the other hand
DSC-5: 2-axis control pendant for 2-axis operation
Ergonomic: low actuation forces enable fatigue-free operation
Directional stickers are covered and protected by transparent hard plastic caps
Modern design
Easy installation thanks to proven plug-in connection
Wear and impact-resistant housing
Clear switching points
Safe 24 V low-voltage design
Technical details
High resistance to impacts, abrasion resistance
IP65 enclosure
Largely resistant to aggressive media (fuels, oils, greases, salt water, cooling lubricants, diluted lyes)
Resistance to ageing and UV light of the housing parts
Use in enclosed rooms and outdoors
Operating temperature range: –20°C to +60°C (storage: -25° to +70°C)
