Drum hoisting machines are machines which are especially suited for shallow or very deep shafts. We are pushing forward the development of modern drum machines in many respects: 


  • Construction of drums in welded design
  • Construction of machines with disk brakes
  • Construction of the first braking equipment with redundant delay-controlled safety brake
  • Construction of the first brake elements with enlarged brake clearance in durable design
