Demag Cranes
Demag is a German heavy equipment manufacturer with over 200 years of experience building industrial cranes. These crane solutions include overhead cranes and mobile cranes.
Overhead Cranes
The primary uses of overhead cranes are in manufacturing and materials handling.
Demag offers single- and double-girder overhead traveling cranes as well as suspension cranes. Options include welded box-section girders and rolled steel sections. Wall-mounted traveling cranes and crane sets are also part of the Demag line of universal cranes.
Demag can design and build process cranes to the client’s specific requirements. This individualized approach ensures a high level of efficiency and safety.
Demag also offers a modular light crane system. The KBK light crane system can create various configurations that will adapt quickly to your specific requirements. The KBK light crane system can handle loads up to 3,200 kg.
Mobile Cranes
Demag offers several types of mobile cranes. All-terrain cranes have excellent maneuverability and come in a variety of boom lengths. City cranes are more compact but still offer powerful performance.
Crawler cranes have more lifting capacity than the other types of mobile cranes. They use a crawler track instead of tires and wheels. Crawler cranes are very maneuverable under heavy load.
Mastering the Demag Hoist: Tandem Lift
A Demag all-terrain crane (Demag AC 500-2) successfully participated in a tandem lift with a Tadano ATF 400G-6 in December 2020. The two cranes lifted a pressure vessel off a roll-on/roll-off pontoon and onto a self-propelled modular transporter. Tandem lifts are difficult to execute and are defined as critical lifts.
The pressure vessel weighed 138 tons and had a length of 12.8 meters. The Demag AC 500-2 has a capacity of 500 tons. It was equipped with 140 tons of counterweight to lift its load portion of 88.5 tons at a radius of 15 meters.
The Tadano ATF 400G-6 has a capacity of 400 tons. It had 98 tons of counterweight to lift the remaining 49.5 tons and a radius of 15 meters.
The joint lift enabled the self-propelled modular transporter to carry the pressure vessel to its destination by land. The pressure vessel reached its destination safely. After a period of temporary storage, it received maintenance and was placed on its foundation.
Demag Crane Success: All-Terrain in Mumbai
A Demag AC 1000-9, the largest Demag all-terrain crane, successfully lifted a 100-ton tunnel-boring machine from below ground up onto the middle of Mumbai’s surface. The lift was part of construction on the Mumbai Central Metro station.
To lift the tunnel-boring machine, the AC 1000-9 used its full 228-ton counterweight at a radius of 20 meters.
The restricted space in the city center and the project’s tight timeline required exceptional preparation and execution. The crane service provider had to move the AC 1000-9 from their workshop to the worksite on multiple trips overnight. They avoided the traffic in Mumbai and could get the crane and its equipment into the job site.
The team completed the challenging lift precisely and within the project time frame.
