Direct controlled Demag DC-ProDC chain hoists are also suitable for the refurbishment and upgrade of material handling systems, with the chain hoist operated by an existing control system with a line supply. 

DC-ProDC chain hoists with direct control are available in seven sizes with load capacities between 80 and 5000kg. Depending on load capacity, lifting speeds range from 4 to 24m/min. The chain hoist can be controlled direct via a line supply. A terminal strip integrated in the unit provides for direct and simple connection. Alternatively, DC-ProDC units may be operated with Demag DSK or DST control pendants.

The chain hoists may be employed under extremely arduous ambient conditions, operate at temperatures to 80°C and offer ease of maintenance.

The Demag product configurator (Hoist Designer) can be used to specify a chain hoist with direct control. This user friendly online planning tool enables a large number of possible variants to be configured to select the correct hoist for a specific application. The hoist may then be ordered direct via the Demag Shop system.
