Demag quadro chain hoist for a broad range of applications

Demag quadro chain hoist for a broad range of applications

/ins Wetter, Germany, 12 April 2018. Fitted with four load hooks, the Demag LDC-Q quadro chain hoist allows different load handling attachments to be lifted and transported at the same time. The available LDC-Q sizes enable loads weighing up to 3.2 t to be handled safely and efficiently.

The Demag LDC-Q quadro chain hoist, a series hoist unit from Demag's DC range that has a successful track record all over the world, can be used for a wide variety of handling requirements in production and logistics applications. Equipped with four load hooks, LDC-Q units can handle and transport customer-specific load handling attachments or flat components and feed materials to the relevant workstations.


The basis for this broad range of applications is the technology offered by the LDC-D double chain hoist and some dedicated characteristics. For example, these include a design that combines two double chain hoists which have only one drive, which is a special technical feature. This means that only one chain hoist motor transfers power to the other three chain lead-offs of the Demag LDC-Q quadro unit via corresponding connections. Mechanically synchronised hook lead-offs provide for uniform and precise load handling. This arrangement enables loads with an asymmetrical weight distribution up to a ratio of 70:30 to be picked up without any problems.

ProHub integrated variable speed control, which is a feature unique to Demag chain hoists, also permits rated speeds of up to 90 percent higher in the partial load range.Operators can utilise sizes DC 10 and DC 25 for handling loads weighing up to 3.2 t. The Demag LDC-Q quadro chain hoist offers benefits for safe and efficient lifting. Operation of the control unit with low voltage (24 V contactor control) as well as smooth starting and braking for low load sway are also significant factors. Further safety-related functions satisfy at least Performance Level c and Category 2 to EN ISO 13849-1.

Besides safety, service is also of major importance. The generously dimensioned slipping clutch and gearbox, which is maintenance-free for up to 10 years, as well as fast and simple maintenance of individual components thanks to its modular design, help to make the Demag LDC-Q quadro chain hoist easy to service. These are all important aspects that minimise downtimes and extend the unit's service life for improved productivity.

For control of the Demag LDC-Q quadro chain hoist, operators also benefit from DSC/DSE control pendants with their low-fatigue actuation force for improved ergonomics. To meet specific ergonomics needs, operators can choose between radio controls or cable-connected control pendants that can be integrated into stationary control units.

And ultimately, 2D and 3D geometry models in the Demag Designer tool give owners the opportunity to view a potential solution and its precise arrangement in their existing building and machinery infrastructure already at the pre-planning stage.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
