Foot-Mounted Rope Hoists can be installed in multiple configurations.
January 29, 2010 -
Respectively intended for handling 3.2, 6.3, and 12.5 ton loads, DR 3, 5, and 10 universal foot-mounted hoists can be adapted to meet application requirements. Attachment points enable suspension in 4 mounting positions to ensure free rope lead-off in all directions. Load bar operation can also be implemented using 2 synchronized ropes. Depending on model, hoists offer 15 or 20 m hook path and 8-12.5 m/min hoist speed.

The New Demag FDR 3 - 10 Universal Foot-Mounted Hoist
Versatile use of available space
The successful Demag DR 3, 5 and 10 rope hoist range is now available as an FDR universal foot-mounted hoist for direct connection to support structures. The new FDR foot hoist can be adapted to meet your requirements without compromise - wherever heavy loads need to be lifted, pulled or moved.
Outstanding versatility
The attachment points are designed in such a way that the rope hoist can be installed in four mounting positions, either suspended on the wall or ceiling or standing on the ground or a pedestal. This ensures a free rope lead-off in all directions for all four mounting positions and versatile application.
Load bar operation can also be implemented using two synchronised ropes.
Additional benefits of the FDR
Versatile applications thanks to variable rope lead-offs
Flexible mounting arrangements due to various connection variants
Ideal for refurbishment or modernisation
One rope guide for all rope lead-off variants
Outstanding benefits of the DR range
High efficiency due to 20 % longer service life
Optimum utilization of space thanks to its compact design
High availability thanks to a low maintenance requirement
Fast handling thanks to high hoist speeds
Good value for money thanks to comprehensive series features
Low-vibration, quiet-running motor
Fast acting brake
Gearbox lubricated for life
Protective rope guide
User-friendly bottom block
State-of-the-art electrical equipment
Precision geared limit switch
Overload protection
Versatile use of available space
The new FDR is the perfect rope hoist for every area of application, whether for planning new installation configurations or for integration into existing structures, such as for refurbishment and modernisation. Thanks to its compact design, it is the ideal solution for workshop and installation planning when space needs to be saved.
Fast and durable
Increased hoist speeds improve handling rates and, therefore, the efficiency of your installation. The new FDR features a long service life and is rugged and reliable - factors which ensure your installation remains reliable and available.
Example:
Range Load Hook path FEM / ISO * Reeving Hoist
capacity up to speed **
DR 3 3.2 t 15 m 2m / M5 4/1 12.5 m/min
DR 5 6.3 t 15 m 1Am / M4 4/1 8 m/min
DR 10 12.5 t 20 m 1Am / M4 4/1 9.5 m/min
* Gearbox service life is 20 % higher than the full load service life, according to FEM / ISO
** ProHub => Load-dependent increase in hoist speed, loads weighing up to one third of the rated load capacity are moved at 1.5-times the rated hoist speed
