Core features of the Demag wheel block DRS 160

• Unmatched modularity & scalability

The Demag DRS 160 wheel block system is built around modular wheel blocks that can be seamlessly interconnected to form larger configurations. Each axle module supports up to 7 tons, and by combining multiple units, the system can scale to handle loads exceeding 7 tons. This modular wheel system adapts to diverse project needs, whether transporting wind turbine components or massive industrial machinery.

• Demag modular drive system: power meets precision

At the heart of the DRS 160 lies Demag’s proprietary modular drive system, featuring independent electric-hydraulic drives for each wheel. This ensures optimal torque distribution across uneven terrain while maintaining energy efficiency. The system’s rail guidance capability further enhances precision, allowing the transporter to follow predefined paths with millimeter accuracy—critical for aligning heavy components in confined spaces like factories or ports.

• Intelligent track guidance

The DRS 160’s wheel block system is guided by an integrated track, which enables the transporter to lock onto a track or virtual path, minimizing human errors during complex maneuvers. This is particularly valuable in shipyards or assembly halls, where repetitive, precise movements are essential.

• Robust safety & control

Demag drive systems prioritize safety through redundant hydraulic circuits and real-time load monitoring. Sensors track weight distribution, tire pressure, and stability, automatically adjusting the suspension to prevent tilting. The modular wheel blocks also feature fail-safe brakes and anti-slip algorithms, ensuring control even on gradients or slippery surfaces.

Applications of the DRS 160 modular wheel system

Wind energy: Transporting multi-ton turbine blades and nacelles across rugged terrain, leveraging rail guidance for alignment at installation sites.

Infrastructure projects: Shifting bridge segments or pre-fabricated structures with pinpoint accuracy using modular wheel blocks.

Industrial manufacturing: Moving reactors, boilers, and press machines within factories, where Demag’s drive systems enable tight turns in space-limited environments.

Port logistics: Loading/unloading mega-shipments via synchronized multi-unit configurations, enhanced by rail guidance for dock-side precision.

Why choose the Demag DRS 160?

The Demag wheel block DRS 160 distinguishes itself through its fusion of modularity, power, and smart technology. Unlike conventional transporters, its modular wheel system allows rapid reconfiguration, reducing downtime between tasks.
