Industrial Cranes

In the Industrial Cranes segment, Demag Cranes manufactures high-quality components, such as rope and chain hoists, travel units and motors and complete cranes. We make a distinction between cranes that are made of standardised modules for industrial infrastructure applications (Standard Cranes), and cranes that are designed for use in the customer’s specific production processes (Process Cranes). With its highly versatile crane construction kit (KBK), used primarily in industries where demands on the production process vary (e.g. the automotive industry), Demag Cranes is the global market leader.
