Demag Cranes & Components
has won an order from
Granada Material Handling
to supply 164 electric wire rope hoists
for a renewable energy project. The
order comes in the wake of a contract,
awarded to Granada by RWE npower
renewables, to design, supply, third
party certify, deliver, test and
commission crane systems for the
Gwynt y Môr offshore wind farm.

Granada has incorporated the
Demag hoist within its specially
designed ‘Python’ Crane system,
which will be mounted on the
foundation platform of wind turbines
and each of two substations in the
offshore wind farm.

The 1.3t SWL Demag FDR PRO 5
electric wire rope hoists have been
designed to meet the requirements of
the offshore application and
incorporate a range of features. Hoist
stability, slow lifting speeds for
precision handling, fast lifting speeds
for load take off and a 24m height of
lift ensure precise hook positioning
for simple and safe unloading of
supply vessels.
