Ambient temperature: -20 °C to +40 °C,
Humidity: max. 80 % relative humidity,
Height: up to 1000 m above sea level,
Type of enclosure: IP55,
Electromagnetic compatibility: Resistance to interference in industrial environments,
Interference emissions for residential, commercial and light-industrial environ‐

Tab. 19
Demag chain hoists operating outdoors should be provided with a canopy against the weather. Chain hoists, trolley
and travel drive should be kept under shelter if they are not used for a considerable length of time.
Special operating conditions may be agreed with the manufacturer in individual cases. However, in this case we
recommend that the DC-Pro chain hoist be used.
Such operating conditions may occur for the following applications, for example:
● galvanizing or electroplating plants,
● hygiene areas,
● low-temperature or hot applications.
On request, suitable optimised equipment and important information for safe, low-wear operation may be supplied
for these applications.
Under certain ambient conditions, application of re-inforced switch-off springs is required:
● DC1-10 reeving 1/1 hook assembly - Use of switch-off springs (optional)
● for very high mechanical demands on the buffers, e.g. frequent contact with sharp edges,
● for extreme ambient conditions (hot atmospheres, foundries, etc.).
● DK10 bottom block with external switch-off springs (optional)
● for extreme ambient conditions (hot atmospheres, foundries, etc.).
