Demag Cranes has added the KBK II-H steel profile section, with an inside-running rail component, to its KBK light crane system, enabling the construction of monorails and suspension cranes with capacities up to 2t. The KBK II-H profile section is fully compatible with existing profile sections, rail brackets, trolleys and suspension fittings in the KBK II range, despite an installation height 13mm higher than existing KBK II profile sections.

It retains the same width as KBK II profile sections, and will be compatible with curved sections, track switches, turntables and drop sections via a profile adaptor to be released in mid-2011. One important feature is the completely rigid rail joint: its connections are secured using self-retaining nuts, which allows greater planning freedom during system installation.

As the KBK II-H sections can support a full load regardless of track suspension positioning,  crane suspension and track suspension clamps can be fitted at any position. In addition, there is no need to use straight profile sections in specific lengths to accommodate pre-defined distances between suspensions.

With the KBK II-H section larger spans or distances between suspensions can be achieved, with support for loads of up to 1.2t possible even with distances of over 6m between suspensions. With the system’s deadweight to load capacity ratio, additional supporting steelwork can be significantly reduced or even eliminated.

Demag Cranes has also made the new section available with 5-pole conductor rails as the KBK II-H-R, which is intended to replace the existing KBK II-T section.

Electric Chain Hoists Freestanding Workstation

News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Demag’s DCS-Pro Electric Chain Hoists with Infinitely Variable Speed Control Allow Precision Control of Load. Use a Demag Hoist in a Freestanding workstation.

CLEVELAND, OH (April, 2011) – The DCS-Pro electric chain hoist line from Demag Cranes & Components is packed with standard features that allow operators to handle and precisely position critically sensitive loads with ease.  These include an infinitely-variable speed control with soft starting speeds as low as 3.15 inches/minute; a 1:200 control ratio that produces gentle positioning in addition to high speed travel; automatic switchover to low speed prior to reaching the upper/lower stop; acceleration and braking ramps to prevent load sway; and up to 90% higher nominal speed for partial load or no-load operations.

Designed with safety, convenience and low maintenance in mind, the entire family of DCS-Pro chain hoists includes as standard 24V control voltage and operating limit switches for improved safety and reliability, a brake-coupling system which ensures that loads are held securely in all operating situations, and a speed monitored slipping clutch for effective cut-off on overload allow safe operation.  The DCS also comes standard with "plug & lift" connections that make the hoist simple to install, while the gearbox, brake and slipping clutch are maintenance-free for up to 10 years, while the modular chain drive can be quickly and easily replaced without having to remove the motor or gear parts.
