Description
The Donati DMK Series Climbing Electric Chain Hoist offers a flexible and efficient solution for lifting applications that demand frequent installation and dismantling at height. Unlike traditional hoists, the climbing version is designed so that the hoist body itself moves up the load chain, allowing the operator to reach the installation point without needing to lift the full hoist weight.
This unique self-climbing design makes it especially suited to the entertainment and events industry, where compactness, ease of handling, and quick rigging setup are essential.
Whether used in theatres, concert venues, or touring production environments, the Donati DMK Climbing Hoist delivers safe, reliable, and efficient lifting every time.
Built on the proven DMK series platform, it features the same high-quality construction and reliability that Donati is renowned for — including self-braking conical motors, precision-machined components, and robust IP-rated protection.
Available Capacities: from 125 kg up to 2,000 kg, with FEM (ISO) classification 2M (M5) for high duty performance.
Lifting Speeds: 4 or 8 m/min (depending on configuration).
Each hoist is supplied with a durable fabric chain bag, ensuring smooth chain management during operation and transport.
The climbing configuration offers significant ergonomic advantages, reducing installation effort and enhancing safety during overhead setup.
