DCBS chain hoist

DCBS chain hoist

Demag chain hoist with a built-in balancer

Work smarter, move loads easier

Imagine being able to lift, guide, and position heavy loads almost effortlessly — that's exactly what the DCBS chain hoist makes possible. Built on our trusted DC range, it comes with a smart balancer function that lets operators handle loads with precision and very little effort. It's available in two sizes and can handle loads up to 250 kg. Plus, it works seamlessly with our Demag KBK light crane system.

DCBS hoists move smoothly along KBK rail systems — whether that's a single-girder suspension crane, a monorail system, or a slewing jib crane. Need to use lifting masts, manipulators, or your own custom load attachments? No problem. The controller sensors can be fitted directly into your load-bearing setup.

Safe and reliable by design

  • Lift and lower loads using gentle manual force on the control handle
  • Guide and position loads with ease
  • Built-in protection against slack chain
  • Prevents sudden load snatching
  • Automatically stops movement if a load swings too much
  • Monitors and limits load capacity when needed

Designed with safety in mind

  • Regenerative braking means less wear on the brake over time
  • No manual brake adjustments needed — ever
  • Brake sits ahead of the slipping clutch, so loads never slip
  • Automatically brakes if something goes wrong
  • Slipping clutch has a built-in auto cut-out via speed monitoring — no continuous slipping

  • Safety functions meet at least Performance Level c and Category 2 per EN ISO 13849-1

Product Information

Grip control

  • The D-Grip Servo control handle makes it super easy to control the load — even in tight or tricky situations.

Load positioning

  • Switch to 'load positioning mode' and you can literally grab the load and guide it by hand with just a light touch. It's that intuitive.

Assembly mode

  • Perfect for detailed assembly work. It keeps the load steady and suppresses any unwanted swinging or sudden movements, giving you more control and confidence.

Load pick-up mode

  • Gently lifts and pre-tensions load handling attachments
  • Removes loads cleanly — no dropping, no sudden upward jerk
  • Protects your jigs and machinery by only lifting until a preset force is reached
