Conveying System

In the demanding world of industrial material handling, Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) cranes are indispensable for lifting and moving heavy loads. At the heart of every reliable EOT crane is a critical component: the crane wheel. Among the most advanced and trusted solutions in the market, the DRS wheel module stands out as a benchmark for performance, durability, and precision. Specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications, the DRS series redefines what is possible in crane mobility and operational efficiency.

Why DRS Wheel Choice Matters for EOT Cranes

The wheels of an EOT crane are not merely passive components—they directly influence the crane’s load capacity, stability, energy consumption, maintenance requirements, and service life. Poorly designed wheels can lead to increased wear on rails, higher operating noise, misalignment, and costly downtime. The Demag DRS wheel modules address these challenges head-on with a combination of intelligent engineering and high-quality materials.

Key Features of Demag DRS Wheels for EOT Cranes

Robust and Durable Construction:DRS wheels are built to withstand the rigors of continuous industrial operation. The housing is typically made from ductile cast iron (GJS/GGG), offering exceptional strength, impact resistance, and longevity. This ensures the wheels can handle heavy loads and harsh environments, such as foundries, steel mills, and outdoor installations.

Optimized Load Capacity and Versatility:The DRS series offers a wide range of models—from the compact DRS 112 (2.75 tons) to the heavy-duty DRS 500 (40 tons)—making it suitable for EOT cranes of all sizes and load classes. Whether used in a light-duty workshop crane or a heavy-load manufacturing facility, there is a DRS wheel to match the requirement.

Low Maintenance and Easy Integration:Designed with modular construction, DRS wheels are easy to install and maintain. Features such as mechanical wear indicators allow for predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime. The bolted housing and pin connections simplify servicing, while the sealed high-precision bearings ensure long service intervals.

Smooth, Quiet, and Efficient Operation:The DRS wheel’s low-friction design and noise-reducing features contribute to a quieter working environment and lower energy consumption. With an operating temperature range from -30°C to +70°C, these wheels perform reliably in extreme conditions.

Customization and Flexibility:We offer extensive customization options, including different wheel diameters, tread profiles and special materials. This flexibility allows engineers to tailor the wheel module to specific crane designs and operational needs.

Conclusion

The DRS wheel module is more than just a component—it is a complete mobility solution that enhances the performance, safety, and lifecycle cost-efficiency of EOT cranes. By combining advanced materials, precision manufacturing, and innovative design, the DRS series ensures smooth, reliable, and low-maintenance operation under the most challenging conditions.

For crane manufacturers and industrial operators seeking a high-performance, future-proof wheel solution, the DRS wheel is the intelligent choice. If you would like to explore the suitability of this solution for your specific application, our engineers can provide customized analysis and technical support.
