Tag : materials handling

R&M Materials Handling introduces the Loadmate electric chain hoist, with lifting capacities from 1/8 to fivetons, which, the company says, is easy to operate and offersincreased safety, reduced maintenance, and extended life. TheLoadmate offers a range of options for a variety of applications.
Three standard mounting configurations are available: fixed tophook, push trolley, and motorized trolley. Standard lifting heightscome with 10, 15, and 20' of lift, with additional lifting heightsavailable up to 150' for single fall and 75' for double fall. TheLoadmate is also equipped to lift materials at speeds from 8-32FPMsingle-speed, 12/3 to 64/6FPM two-speed, and 1-16 to 4-64FPMvariable speed inverter.
The Loadmate features a compact design, precision gearing, and easymounting in order to increase the ease of operation of the hoist.The premium-grade, precision gearing contributes to the hoist'scompact, low headroom design, low noise level, and smoothoperation.
R&M Materials Handling tests each hoist with a minimum of 125%rated load prior to shipping in order to ensure safety. All modelsof the Loadmate are equipped with a torque-limiting device forhoist overload protection. The electro-magnetic disc brake-clutchcombination is designed for efficiency, safety, easy access, andadjustment. Upper and lower limit switches, low voltage control,and an alloy steel hook also add to the safety of the Loadmate.
An integral hoist control panel encloses all electrical components,such as hoist contactors, transformer, and terminal strips, and iseasily accessed for ease of maintenance. The Loadmate is designedto run cool and maximize the life of the gears, brakes, and motors.
The Loadmate is also available with various options -- allowingcustomization for specific application requirements. A swivelingmotor driven trolley option allows for shorter curve radiustolerance on custom monorail applications. Lifting capacities,heights, and speeds can also be customized. Other options for theLoadmate include: inclement weather protection, specialconfigurations, variable frequency drives, and food grade hoistfeatures.
