DEMAG Cranes and Components (Middle East), a world leader offering solutions for material flow, logistics and industrial drive applications, is promoting its DR-Bas rope hoist which boasts massive load capacities of up to 12.5 tonnes.

The DR-Bas hoist stands head and shoulders above other products in this class due to its key features, says a Dubai-based spokesman for the company. It can be fitted on to the high-load capacity ZKKE double-girder and EKKE single-girder overhead travelling cranes.

“We have developed Demag Bas products specifically with the world’s emerging markets in mind. The uncompromising functionality and quality of these products are designed to meet the high standards that are expected of German engineering,” the spokesman says.

Some of the key attributes of the DR-Bas hoist are low wear, a long service life and good value for money. It is technically categorised in accordance with European Federation Standard (FEM) with specification based on national and international engineering standards.

The spokesman says Demag Bas products are functional and reliable, tough and robust, safe and durable, economical to run, and simple to operate.

With no less than four designs and three sizes, DR-Bas is a universal hoist unit which is the preferred choice for a wide variety of crane and industrial applications including new investments as well as in replacing used and end-of-life equipment.

The DR-Bas come in four types to ensure maximum flexibility. Customers can choose from monorail hoists, EUDR-Bas standard-headroom travelling hoist, EKDR-Bas low-headroom hoist, and EZDR-Bas double-rail crab. With subsidiaries and production facilities worldwide, Demag Cranes and Components offers a wide range of products including cranes, hoists, drive technology, and services.

“We place uncompromising priority on meeting customers’ needs, so that our products and services can be seamlessly integrated into each customer’s value creation process,” says the spokesman.
