- Low-wear brake thanks to regenerative braking
- Brake adjustment is not necessary
- No load dropping due to slipping clutch engineered in front of the brake in the load-bearing arrangement
- Reduced chain wear thanks to 1/1 reeving for loads up to 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg)
- Robust cylindrical-rotor motor with fan and separate DC brake
- No brake bonding thanks to double encapsulated brake
High operating reliability
- Standard requirements satisfied for functional safety

- Chain hoist and travel drive feature IP 55 enclosure, insulation class F
- Automatic braking if the control system fails
Optimum egonomics
- Height-adjustable DSC/DSC-S control pendants with low-fatigue actuation force
- Control cable length and control pendant position can be adjusted to meet specific needs on site
(without any need for wiring) - Pivoting suspension bracket enables the chain hoist to be attached when the trolley has been fitted
Service-friendly
- "Plug & Lift" and "Plug & Drive" for all electrical connections
- Elapsed operating time counter, status and error messages shown on display
- Service cover for rapid access to plug connections, strain relief arrangements,
collector for 10 ft (3 m) control cable and chain drive - Chain lubrication through lubrication opening in the chain guide for improved lubrication between links (sizes DC 1–10)
- Reduced downtimes as chain drive can be replaced without dismantling motor or gearbox parts
