Are you looking for a crane solution that matches your standardised workshop
architecture? A solution that can be supplied with a short lead time and which offers
better value than the usual standard solutions? And which meets your demanding
requirements in terms of quality, reliability and performance in full? Then the Demag
EPKE-O single-girder overhead travelling crane is the right choice. Available as a crane
or crane set.

Tried and tested,

uncompromising Demag quality
The top-connected rolled-profile girder offers
optimum value with genuine Demag quality
components for a wide range of options to choose
from. EPKE-O cranes can be supplied as complete
cranes or as crane sets, which only contain the
main components. A crane set allows you to select
your own crane girder.
Demag EPKE-O provides you with a crane
installation that can be supplied more quickly,
more easily and more cost-effectively to meet
your application needs thanks to its basic design.
Perfectly matching components, such as the new
Demag DR-Com rope hoist, and tried-and-tested
sub-assemblies give you the certainty of a long
service life. They also offer the benefits of out-
standing crane geometry, resulting in exceptional
travel characteristics.

We have almost 200 years of experience in hoists

and series crane production, as demonstrated by
our installed base of 660,000 cranes and hoists.

Your benefits
▪▪ EPKE-O both as complete cranes or as crane
sets (which do not include a crane bridge)
▪▪ Excellent value as an alternative to cranes that
have box-section girders
▪▪ Additional safety thanks to derailment guard
fitted as standard
▪▪ High operating reliability thanks to components
that have a long service life
▪▪ Safe, reliable and rugged control system, either
with an intelligent CAN bus processor system
or with contactor control
▪▪ Simple installation saves time on site thanks to
prepared assemblies

Equipped for efficient
crane production
 EPKE-O: crane set

The EPKE-O crane set is the fastest

solution offering the best value for a
crane manufacturer to complete a crane.
It contains all main components, from
the drive and rope hoist to the electric
equipment. You only have to add the
appropriate crane girder. The EPKE-O
crane set can be configured to meet
individual needs to complete cranes and
material handling systems.

If required, we can supply the structural calculation

for the crane girder, which you can simply integrate
into your documentation. This saves you time and
makes it easy for you to co-ordinate delivery with
your supplier.

Local procurement – fast delivery

The opportunity to procure the crane girder locally
and to install it direct on site, makes it possible to
cut delivery times and save shipping costs. At the
same time, you benefit from immediate availability.
Crane manufacturers can easily integrate the newly
developed crane set into their own steel super-
structure. In short, our pre-assembled product
packages provide for efficient crane production.
