  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.

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

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.
   
• Brake adjusts independent of load limiter.

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.

• 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. CSA certification is pending on models with hoist inverter control.

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.

LOADMATE OPTIONS
Patented Track Trolley Option
Trolleys feature hardened steel flat tread wheels designed for maximum bearing surface contact with your patented track section running surface. Wheel tread surface hardness is 425 BHN. Will fit: 2”, 3.25”, 3.33”, 4” and 4.5” patented track section flange widths.

Swiveling Motor Driven Trolley Option
Allows for shorter curve radius tolerances on custom monorail applications. LM05, LM10 and LM16 hoist swiveling trolleys can negotiate a radius as small as 2’-8”. LM20 and LM25 hoist swiveling trolleys can negotiate a radius as small as 4’. Gear motors can also be removed for outfitting of R&M swivel trolley with user provided rubber tire tractor drive units.

Special Low Headroom Trolley Configuration
Using special trolley frame with upper sheave and offset hoist machinery, lifting heights can be optimized. Allows for maximum hook height in tight clearance applications.

Outdoor Weather Protection Options

Available with a range of outdoor protection options including: stainless steel chain, hoist and trolley weather proof covers, NEMA 4 type enclosures, low voltage 48 VAC control system, and panel heaters.

Special Hoist Control Options
Several special control options for the LoadMate® include:
Variable frequency drive hoist control option provides precision hook positioning. Tandem control option for simultaneous control of two hoists. Hour counter for scheduled preventive maintenance as well as hoist SWP (Safe Working Period) calculations.

Food Grade Hoist Options
Stainless steel load chain, stainless steel lower hooks, stainless steel bottom block, and food grade lubricant can be provided for food handling and pharmaceutical applications.

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.
