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.
