LoadMate Hoist

R&M Materials Handling, Inc. offers innovative solutions for lifting and handling
operations that involve the use of windmill hubs. As a result of the vast experience we
have acquired by manufacturing a wide range of hoists that are currently being used
throughout the whole world, the Windmill product range has implemented the most
up-to-date technology available in lifting equipment.

An Ergonomic Solution
We study the configuration of your windmill hubs in great detail in order to achieve a
user-friendly work environment. We implement the layout, adaptation to the space
available, accessibility, etc. in order to facilitate all service and inspection
interventions. In this way R&M offers its customers lifting equipment systems that
are perfectly adapted to the windmill crib and its components (compact size, low
weight, detachable parts, low maintenance).

A Very Safe Control System

This hoist includes a relatively large number of safety devices to monitor lifting
operations. The LoadMate® also complies with the strictest health and safety
regulations that apply to maintenance and repair operations. As a result, we offer
optimum safety, increased productivity at substantially lower operating costs.

Wind Generated Energy
Worldwide energy use continues to rise, so it is imperative for this evolution to cause
the least possible damage to our environment. An unlimited source of energy that is
relatively easy to exploit and transform, today this technolgy already supplies a
significant part of the energy we use and the windmill forms that have been set up
in adequate locations are now able to compete with conventional power plants.
