Description
The Donati DMK Climbing Electric Chain Hoist is a highly specialised lifting solution engineered for applications where frequent installation, dismantling, and overhead rigging are required. Unlike traditional hoists, this innovative system features a self-climbing design, allowing the hoist body to move along the load chain rather than requiring the full hoist weight to be lifted into position.
Why Choose a Climbing Electric Chain Hoist?
This unique functionality provides significant advantages in environments such as theatres, concert venues, touring productions, and event staging, where speed, safety, and ease of installation are critical. By eliminating the need to manually lift heavy hoist units into place, the DMK climbing hoist improves operator safety, reduces physical strain, and accelerates setup times.

Donati Proven Reliability
Built on the proven Donati DMK series platform, this climbing hoist retains the high-quality engineering and reliability associated with Donati lifting equipment. It features precision-machined components, robust mechanical construction, and self-braking conical motors, ensuring consistent and safe performance in demanding applications.
Donati Hoists are Built to Lift
The hoist is available in capacities ranging from 125 kg to 2,000 kg working load limit (WLL), making it suitable for a wide range of lifting tasks, from lightweight rigging to heavier staging and equipment handling. With a FEM (ISO) classification of 2M (M5), the DMK climbing hoist is designed for frequent use and high-duty cycles, ensuring reliability in both permanent installations and touring environments.
The self-climbing mechanism allows the hoist to ascend along the chain during installation, positioning itself accurately at the required height. This feature is particularly beneficial in overhead rigging scenarios, where access may be limited and lifting equipment manually can pose safety risks.
Operational efficiency is further enhanced by smooth lifting speeds of 4 m/min or 8 m/min, depending on configuration. These speed options provide a balance between rapid lifting and precise load positioning, ensuring safe and controlled handling of suspended loads.
Each unit is supplied with a durable fabric chain bag, designed to manage the load chain efficiently during both operation and transport. This helps prevent tangling, reduces wear, and improves overall safety on-site.
Hoists With Built-in Safety Features
The hoist is powered by a self-braking electric motor, which automatically holds the load in position when power is removed. Combined with integrated safety features such as thermal protection sensors and IP-rated electrical components, this ensures safe operation under a wide range of conditions.
Designed for durability, the hoist is finished with a water-repellent electrostatic paint coating, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, humidity, and wear. This ensures long-term performance even in demanding environments such as touring productions or industrial settings.
