This Demag 20 TON X 18 80 Gantry Crane is a used gantry crane — sometimes referred to as a portal crane — designed for heavy lifting and precise load handling in industrial environments. Gantry cranes of this type are widely used in steelworks, scrapyards, fabrication shops, and heavy manufacturing facilities where materials must be moved across a defined span at ground or elevated level. Demag is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing industrial lifting equipment, including hoists, cranes, and drive systems, serving sectors such as steel, automotive, and general heavy industry.
This machine is equipped with a Demag hoist unit designated DH 2050 H27 ZV3 4/1 and is classified under FEM group 4M, indicating a duty class suited to relatively intensive industrial use. The crane operates on a span of 18,800 mm and runs on a double-girder configuration. All movements — hoisting, rotation, and travel — are fully frequency controlled, which allows smooth, stepless speed adjustment and precise load positioning throughout the operating range.
The hoisting speed ranges from 0 to 8 m/min, the rotation speed from 0 to 60 m/min, and the displacement speed from 0 to 40 m/min, all variable through the frequency drive system. The crane is fitted with a lifting magnet rated at 16 tonnes capacity, making it particularly well suited to handling ferrous scrap, steel plate, and similar magnetic materials without the need for manual slinging. Digital scales are also integrated into the installation, enabling on-the-fly weighing of lifted loads.
The crane type is recorded as ZZKE and the overall configuration is that of an overhead travelling crane on a gantry structure. The machine is located in Belgium and is offered in used condition.
