Demag DH. The hoist unit.

Demag DH. The hoist unit.

Demag DH. More than just a hoist.

The Demag DH hoist unit fits where you need it—on cranes, monorails, or as a stationary setup. It's built for demanding work, handling loads up to 100 tonnes with care and precision.

But it's more than just lifting power. Installed as a travelling or stationary unit, it integrates smoothly into almost any design. Sometimes you barely notice it's there—until it gets to work.

Built tough

Some environments are just harsh. Foundries. Electroplating plants. High heat. Dust. Aggressive air. The DH is built for these places—rugged, reliable, and ready to withstand what comes at it.

Versatile

The modular design and flexible mounting options make the DH easy to fit into almost any structure. With plenty of variants and options, the applications are nearly endless. Lifting stations. Winch arrangements. Architectural installations. Sometimes you have to look twice to spot them.

Your Benefits

  • Rugged design—proven around the world
  • Easy integration into any setup
  • Handles high switching frequencies and heavy duty cycles
  • Precise positioning with mechanical microspeed or frequency-controlled lifting
  • Load capacity up to 100 tonnes
  • Hook path up to 104 metres

Universal. Safe. Rugged.

Every DH hoist is built from perfectly matched, robust components. That means you get a solution that fits—even for the unusual applications. In operation all over the world, the Demag DH delivers safety and reliability, day in and day out.

Product information

Built for tough jobs and precise moves

The DH hoist handles high start/stop frequencies and heavy duty cycles without breaking a sweat. Thanks to mechanical microspeed and conical-rotor brake motors, it keeps performing—even in high ambient temperatures.

Positioning you can count on:

  • 1:10 mechanical microspeed for highly precise moves
  • NEW: Frequency-controlled lifting now available as a standardised option

Flexible and reliable:

  • Rope drums with multi-groove designs
  • Geared limit switch monitors limit positions safely and reliably
  • Torsionally rigid frame—bolt it on from any side
  • Rope lead-off in any direction
  • Rope reeving built to your specs
  • Wide range of lifting speeds
  • Choose with or without electric equipment
  • Broad range of industry solutions available

Stationary or mobile? Your call.

The DH adapts to you—whether fixed in place or travelling on a crane.

Trolleys built to last

  • Travel wheels made from high-strength spheroidal-graphite cast iron
  • Gentle on the track and quiet running—effective vibration damping
  • Self-lubricating effect from embedded nodular graphite means lower friction, higher wear resistance
  • Special wheel shape distributes load evenly, keeping forces centred on the girder
  • Generously sized anti-friction bearings for long service life

Customised motions – precise, rugged, high performance

Three drive concepts. One reliable foundation. All “Made in Germany.“

Drive with main and creep lifting speeds

  • Conical-rotor brake motors with outputs up to 40 kW
  • Pole-changing motors handle extremely high switching frequencies
  • Mechanical connection between brake and rotor = high braking capacity, no extra controls needed
  • Motor temperature monitoring comes standard
Drive for infinitely variable lifting speeds
  • ZBA cylindrical-rotor brake motors + Dedrive Compact frequency inverters
  • Infinitely variable speeds, smooth and powerful
Features:
  • Motor outputs up to 40 kW
  • Inverter-controlled brake motor
  • External pulse generators for speed feedback
  • Brake with adjustment and release monitoring
  • Standard motor temperature monitoring
  • Ready for customer drives and control solutions
Main and creep lifting speeds with F6 pole-changing
  • Proven Demag KBH squirrel-cage motors
  • Reliable and efficient—even with high duty factor
Main and creep lifting speeds with F10 mechanical microspeed
  • Separate motors for main and creep motions
  • Particularly precise positioning
  • High braking capacity—even during power failure
  • No control devices needed for reliable braking

Protection against extreme loads – precisely guided

Demag DH hoist units come with rope guides built for the tough stuff—inclined pull, load sway, rope vibrations. They're made from tough, wear-resistant plastic and can handle angled pulls up to 4° without the rope touching the guide.
Easy to maintain: Two-part design means you can replace them without special tools. Need something stronger? Reinforced versions are available for demanding applications.

Standard PA12 rope guide

  • Wear-resistant, acid-resistant PA12 plastic
  • Enclosed design with pressure roller provides built-in slack rope protection

Rope Guide Type F

  • Frost-resistant and reinforced
  • Built for outdoor use in harsh environments

Rope Guide Type S

  • Heavy-duty construction
  • Double reinforced for medium inclined tensile loads
  • Performs reliably even at low temperatures

Double Rope Guide Type DSZ

  • Designed for heavy-duty hoist units with double-groove drum
  • Ideal for tough conditions—magnet or grab operation
  • Helps reduce load sway

The right variant for every application
