EASE OF OPERATIONInnovative design enhances versatility and ease
of use Premium-grade precision gearing contributes to the
hoists compact, low-headroom design, low noise level
and smooth operation.
Integral control panel encloses all electrical components
(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 W-beams.
Optional hour counter is available to assist with
scheduled maintenance.
SAFETYMeets and exceeds industry safety standardsAll R&M
hoists are statically and dynamically tested with
a minimum of 125% rated load prior to shipping.
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
(optional on LM1 models).
Low-voltage controls enhance operator safety. 115-volt
electrical control panel and pushbutton control are
standard; 48-volt control is available as an option.
Emergency stop button is standard (except on LM1 models).
Both control panel and pushbutton control are designed to
meet NEMA type 3R specifications.
Load hook is drop-forged and heat-treated for strength and
durability and is provided with a safety latch.
LONG LIFEBuilt for tough duty, lasting performanceEvery 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 overheating. 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.
REDUCED MAINTENANCEQuality keeps your hoist on thejob long past
the pay-off point.LoadMate hoists are designed to run cool and
maximize the
life of gears, brakes and motors. Longer com-
ponent life means less maintenance,
less downtime and lower repair
costsand that translates to
savings over the lifetime of
your hoist equipment.
