Certification by the Hoist Manufacturer Institute (HMI), which is based in North Carolina, requires a stringent and thorough evaluation of the product’s technical design and specifications. The independent third-party professional engineers review and certify products for compliance with North American standards that include “Performance standards for electric chain hoists ASME HAST 1-1999” and “Safety standards for overhead hoists ANSI B30.16”.

Comprehensive quality criteria decide

Special consideration is given to customer benefits, spare parts availability and cost efficiency over the entire life cycle of the product. Also decisive for certification of the DC chain hoists for loads weighing up to 5,000 kg are features such as direct access to product information, installation and operating manuals as well as technical support and after-sales activities. Demag Cranes & Components’ HMI Certification indicates that chain hoist solutions from the DC product range, which the manufacturer of industrial cranes and components successfully offers all over the world, meet or exceed every applicable requirement in the identified quality standards.

Compact hoist units – efficiency from the modular system

The generation of DC chain hoists for loads weighing up to 5,000 kg feature outstanding ergonomic benefits, maximum safety standards and high efficiency thanks to their particularly long service life (FEM 2m ). By means of infinitely variable speed control of the DCS-Pro chain hoist, sensitive parts can be lifted, lowered and positioned gently and carefully.
The DC-Com basic version is also extremely service-friendly and quick to install. With a load capacity range up to 2,000 kg, DC-Com chain hoists are designed for day-to-day load-handling applications.
Various wire-connected control pendant switches and the DRC-DC radio control with pushbutton transmitters for 2 or 3 motion axes are available to control the chain hoists.
The DCM-Pro Manulift ensures that loads can be handled quickly and safely with only one hand.

Certified product – modular and versatile

HMI is a trade association affiliated with the Material Handling Industry of America. The purpose of HMI Certification, which is awarded in accordance with stringent requirements, is to instil confidence in selected brands. This process is supported by the Demag Cranes & Components’ modular system design. The company offers a harmonised range of products with standardised components that are offered all over the world and which can be flexibly adapted to meet a broad spectrum of application requirements. Customers benefit from proven applications that offer technical and productivity benefits, as well as ergonomic advantages.
