 Demag slewing jib cranes –
efficient workplace units
Demag slewing jib cranes ensure that all types of workpieces
can be lifted and transported quickly and easily and
deposited gently and precisely. They provide handling
performance at machine tools and assembly stations, as well
as in outdoor storage yards and on loading ramps.

IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AND ERGONOMICS Pillar-mounted slewing jibs and cranes

Manual handling and combining or moving relatively These cranes can be installed almost anywhere, since
light loads is often not only time-consuming, but also an they are free-standing units. The anchorage to attach the
ergonomic burden for employees. Demag pillar and mast to foundations or existing workshop floors satisfies
wall-mounted slewing jib cranes help to improve work- the most demanding safety standards.

Wall-mounted slewing jib cranes
They require no floor space as they are mounted on
load-bearing concrete walls or pillars as well as
machinery and installations.

Universal cranes
Single-girder overhead travelling cranes and suspension
cranes are usually equipped with rolled steel section
girders as the load-bearing structure for Universal cranes
with DC chain hoists. Universal cranes can be ideally
integrated into your processes as a cost-effective en-
try-level model with proven Demag quality.

They can be integrated into existing workshops or new

buildings as workshop cranes, for example. Demag crane
installations are specified according to the current
European crane standards DIN EN 13001 “Cranes
– General design” – and DIN EN 15011 “Cranes – Bridge
and gantry cranes”.

Load capacities: 1 t to 5 t

Span dimensions: up to approx. 18 m

The size of the hoist is determined
by the 1. What are the operating conditions? 4. What is the required lifting speed?
••Load spectrum 2. What is the specified safe working 5. Do the loads need to be lifted and
••Average operating time load? lowered with great accuracy?
••Load capacity 3. To what height must the load be 6. Is horizontal load travel necessary?
••Reeving method lifted? 7. How is the hoist to be controlled?
