Description
The Donati DRH Low Headroom Electric Wire Rope Hoist with Powered Trolley is a specialised industrial lifting solution engineered to deliver maximum lifting performance in environments where overhead space is limited. Combining compact design with high load capacity, this advanced hoist system is ideal for factories, assembly lines, workshops, and production facilities requiring efficient use of vertical space.
What is a Low Headroom Electric Hoist?
Designed to operate on single girder overhead crane systems, the low headroom configuration positions the hoist body in a lowered arrangement on the powered trolley. This innovative design allows the hook to travel closer to the beam, significantly increasing usable lifting height without the need for structural modifications.

Donati Hoists Lift
With a working load limit of up to 20,000 kg, the DRH low headroom hoist provides exceptional strength and reliability for demanding material handling applications. It retains all the proven features of the standard DRH range, including precision-engineered components, self-braking conical motors, and robust mechanical construction, ensuring long-term performance under load.
The system’s compact engineering is achieved through the use of circular-section support bars, which provide a balanced and space-efficient structure. A built-in counterbalance system offsets the eccentric weight of the hoist unit, ensuring stable and controlled lifting and travel at all times.
Power Trolley Mounted
The powered trolley is designed for smooth, precise movement, featuring both drive and idler wheel assemblies manufactured from high-strength pressed steel. Each wheel is mounted on spherical, permanently lubricated bearings, ensuring consistent performance and minimal maintenance. The opposing drive wheels are connected via a crown gear transmission bar, delivering stable and synchronised movement across the crane beam.
Hoist Anti-Derailment System
Safety and reliability are enhanced by adjustable steel support plates and an integrated anti-derailment system, ensuring secure operation during trolley travel. This makes the hoist particularly suitable for applications requiring accurate positioning of heavy or sensitive loads.
Dontai Self Braking Motor
The powered travel system is equipped with a conical self-braking motor that provides progressive start-up and controlled braking, allowing smooth acceleration and deceleration. This ensures precise load handling, even in high-demand industrial environments.
Configure Your Donati Hoist
Multiple trolley travel speed options are available, including single-speed and dual-speed configurations, enabling operators to adapt performance to suit specific lifting tasks. The system also features a helically cut gear reducer, permanently lubricated in an oil bath for quiet, low-wear operation and long service life.
The hoisting unit supports 2 or 4 rope fall configurations, with lifting speeds ranging from 2 m/min to 12 m/min and hook travel up to 58 metres, depending on drum type. This flexibility allows the hoist to be tailored to a wide range of industrial applications.
Donati Hoist Have Reliability and Safety Built-in
Electrical safety is a key priority, with IP-rated motor protection, thermal sensors, overload protection, and high-grade insulation systems ensuring reliable operation. The hoist is designed to perform in temperatures ranging from –10°C to +40°C, making it suitable for most indoor industrial environments.
All components are precision-machined and treated with water-repellent electrostatic paint, providing excellent corrosion resistance and ensuring long-term durability in demanding conditions.
