DRS Wheel System Size Range

Demag offers the DRS series in an extensive selection of sizes to meet different load capacities and design requirements. The sizes typically range from DRS 112 to DRS 500, with load capacities spanning from 2.75 tons up to 40 tons.

DRS 112 – 200

Compact wheel blocks are designed for lighter loads and small-scale handling systems. Suitable for light cranes, AGVs, and conveyor systems.

DRS 250 – 315

Mid-range wheel blocks with higher load capacity, offering versatile use in material handling, steel processing, and warehouse automation.

DRS 400 – 500

Heavy-duty wheel blocks built for maximum strength, capable of supporting up to 40 tons. Commonly applied in shipyard cranes, gantry cranes, stage technology, and large-scale transport vehicles.

Applications of DRS Wheel System

The modular design and variety of sizes make the DRS system adaptable to a wide spectrum of applications:

• Overhead cranes & gantry cranes – smooth, precise motion for heavy lifting in steel plants, shipyards, and ports.

• Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) – compact and durable wheels for efficient navigation in automated logistics systems.

• Transfer cars & rail-guided vehicles – high-load capacity for moving machinery, containers, and construction materials.

• Stage & theatre technology – reliable, quiet wheel blocks for mobile platforms, stages, and scenery movement.

• Industrial doors & roofs – supporting heavy sliding doors, mobile roofs, and large structural elements.
