BUILT TO MAKE YOUR OPERATION SAFER,
MORE PRODUCTIVE, MORE PROFITABLE

LoadMate® hoists are designed to maximize productivity
with fast installation, easy operation and built-in durability.
The compact design provides low headroom and allows
close trolley approaches. R&M’s advanced design and
manufacturing techniques ensure safe operation, consistent
quality and longer component life. It adds up to exceptional
value - hoist equipment that saves on maintenance, repair and
downtime costs over its lifetime.

Flexibility to meet your exact requirements
R&M LoadMate® electric chain hoists offer a range of choices
for a wide variety of applications.




STANDARD FEATURES
Most comprehensive offering in the industry.

  • 1/8 to 5 ton capacities (125 -5000 kg).  
  • Choice of 3 standard mounting configurations: fixed top hook, push trolley and motorized trolley (custom
    mounting configurations also available).
  • 10, 15 and 20 ft. lifts standard; additional lifting heights available up to 150 ft. single fall, 75 ft. two fall.
  • Lift speeds from 8 to 32 FPM single-speed, 12/3 to 64/16 FPM two- speed, 1 - 16 to 4 - 64 FPM variable
    speed inverter, 0.16 to 5.7 HP hoist motors.
  • Variable speed, three phase models with hoist inverter control available for 1/2 - 2 ton capacity LM10 models
    and for 460/3/60 power supply only.
  • Hoists available for single phase and three phase.
  • Two speed, three phase hoist motors and controls available for all models and for 208, 230, 460, 575/3/60
    or 380/3/50 power supply.
  • Single speed, three phase hoist motors and controls available for LM05 and LM10 models and
    reconnectable for 208, 230 or 460/3/60 power supply.
  • 115 volt single phase hoists - single speed only.
  • Three phase hoist motors are class F insulated, 50% effective duty rated.
  • Two-speed TMU trolley drive unit (trolley speed is 80/20 FPM). Trolley brake, drop lugs and bumpers are
    standard. Variable frequency drive option on TMU.
  • Trolley control panel integrally mounted to the motor.

EASE OF OPERATION
Innovative design enhances versatility and ease of use.

  • Premium-grade, AGMA rated* precision gearing contributes to the hoist’s compact,
    low-headroom design, low noise level and smooth operation.
  • Integral hoist control panel encloses all electrical components (hoist contactors,
  • transformer, terminal strips, etc.) and is easily accessed for maintenance.
  • Easy trolley mounting attachment meets various application requirements. Slot in top
    of hoist body allows easy changeover of top hook, push trolley or motorized trolley mountings.
  • Crown tread wheels standard on push and motorized trolleys, for use on standard
    I-beams and wide flange beams.
  • Plug-in push button pendant with E-stop for quick replacement is standard.

* Hoist gearboxes: LM1: AGMA 10, LM05 & LM10: AGMA11 and LM16/25: AGMA 12.
   Traveling gearboxes: AGMA 10.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE
Quality keeps your hoists on the job long past the pay-off point
LoadMate® hoists are designed to run cool and maximize the life of gears, brakes and motors.
Longer component life means less maintenance, less downtime and lower repair costs.

  • Sealed brake keeps out lubricants.
  • The hoist brake and load limiter are both adjustable and adjust independently of each other.

SAFETY
Meets or exceeds industry safety standards
All R&M hoists are statically and dynamically tested with a minimum of 125% rated load prior to shipping.
  • All models are equipped with a torque-limiting device for hoist overload protection. The electromagnetic disc brake-clutch combination is designed for efficiency, safety, easy access and adjustment. The friction-type torque limiter is integrated with the brake (LM1, LM05, LM10) to ensure that the load is always stopped when the control button is released.
  • Upper / lower limit switches stop the hoisting motion when the hook reaches the top or bottom limit of travel, providing safer operation and longer equipment life.
  • Low-voltage controls enhance operator safety. 115-volt control voltage is standard; 48-volt control is an option (standard with 380 volt).
  • Control panel and pushbutton enclosures both meet NEMA type 3R (IP-55) protection classification.
  • Load hook is forged alloy steel for strength and durability and is provided with a spring return safety latch.
  • Emergency stop button and built-in mainline contactor are standard. (Except LM1.)
  • CSA certification on all models.
LONG LIFE
Built for tough duty and lasting performance

Every feature of the LoadMate® hoist assembly includes rugged, high-performance materials and quality engineering for longer service life and less downtime.
  • Thermal protection of hoisting motor prevents damage due to over heating. A 2-speed hoist motor is available, offering more precise load handling and longer motor life due to less wear on the brake and contactor.
  • Hoist body is constructed of pressure-cast aluminum for light-weight and easy handling, epoxy-painted for corrosion resistance, and ribbed for better heat dissipation.
  • 5-pocket chain sprocket (6-pocket on LM16) is heat-treated and machined to a high tolerance, providing exceptionally smooth lifting and reduced chain wear.
  • Load chain is electro-zinc plated, heat-treated, and has a high tensile strength. Chain is also specially designed for chain hoist use.
  • Chain guide ensures precise alignment of chain with load sprocket, reducing wear and prolonging chain life.
  • Chain container is provided as standard.

ADDED VERSATILITY
Variable Frequency Drive option enhances motorized trolley operation

TMU's Variable Frequency Drive offers:

  • 2-step multi-speed or stepless control method
  • Flexibility in speed settings
  • Dynamic braking

Minimum and maximum speed settings can be defined to provide easy and precise load placement, reduced load swings and less wear on equipment.

The sealed brake is incorporated into the motor design. The dynamic braking provided by the variable frequency drive allows for smooth stops and extended brake life.
