The DC-Pro 15 is based on the electric drive and control concept of the DC 10 size hoist. Two lifting speeds provide for fast and also smooth operation. While the design which has a load capacity up to 1,000 kg has a creep lifting speed of 2 m/min and a main lifting speed of 8 m/min, the DC-Pro 15 / 3,200 kg lifts and lowers at speeds of 1 and 4 m/min.

10 years maintenance-free

The DC 15 also benefits from the properties of the DC-Pro chain hoist range. The gearbox is maintenance-free for up to 10 years. The market launch of the first units in the range with the Demag 2m+ classification and a rated service life of 1,900 hours at full load set a new standard for compact hoists.
The double-encapsulated brake operates with minimum wear, it does not need to be adjusted.
The slipping clutch fitted behind the brake in the drive arrangement provides reliable protection against extreme overload thanks to an integrated speed monitoring function. In addition, the slipping clutch is maintenance-free for up to 10 years.

The DC 15 is fitted with a proven 24 V contactor control system. An elapsed operating time counter and its diagnosis interface make it possible to read out the current operating status. This enables maintenance breaks to be planned.

Robust design

Like all other units in the DC range, the housing of the DC 15 chain hoist consists of robust and weight-saving die-cast aluminium with powder coating.
The galvanised round steel chain, which has a hardened surface, offers protection against aggressive media. Up to a hook path of eight metres, it is stored in a flexibly suspended chain collector box that is made of impact-resistant plastic. Chain collector bags for lengths up to 40 m as well as special lengths up to 120 m can be supplied as an option.
Thanks to generous dimensioning of its gearbox housing, the DC 15 is already prepared for operation as a double chain hoist. This makes it possible to implement transport solutions with mechanically synchronised lifts at two points, e.g. for transporting long materials.

Simple commissioning

A further features includes the user-friendly plug-in connections. Plug & Lift and Plug & Drive facilitate rapid commissioning and, if maintenance has to be carried out, short downtimes.
The height-optimised bracket for flexible suspension enables the chain hoist to be connected direct to the support superstructure. This arrangement improves the C dimension – as does the compact 2/1 reeving design of the bottom block.

Control variants

Integrated flexibility: The chain hoist is fitted with the DSC control pendant for smooth lifting and lowering. For two and three-axis motions, the chain hoist is equipped with the DSE 10-C control pendant. The length of the control pendant cable can be individually set by the owner and, therefore, adjusted to changing conditions on site.In addition, Demag Cranes & Components offers a convenient and wireless control system with its DRC-DC radio control.

Standard travel solutions

Demag Cranes & Components offers trolleys with a variable flange width for rapid installation and connection to cranes and profile girder sections. The trolleys, which are graded in four sizes and rated for loads weighing up to 5,600 kg, facilitate smooth travel with low travel resistance. In connection with their electric travel drives, they provide for low-sway handling with smooth starting and braking.
