R&M Spacemaster® Wire Rope Hoist – 1/2 to 80 Ton Capacity
Spacemaster® Wire Rope Hoists Product Overview
The R&M Spacemaster® SX hoist is a reliable electric wire rope hoists with an innovative design. It has a large drum diameter, giving this R&M hoist the lowest headroom and best wheel loads in the industry while providing near true vertical lift for a single reeved hoist.
What does a larger hoist drum do for you? A drum/rope diameter ratio of approximately 40:1 minimizes rope flex, reducing wear and extending rope life. The Spacemaster® hoist drum's large diameter contributes to a reduction in frame size and weight. Also, the placement of the electric rope hoist motor inside the drum allows airflow through the drum for optimal motor cooling.
R&M Hoist Features Include:
- Low maintenance sealed brakes.
- Two-speed hoist motor with 6:1 ratio.
- High motor starting torque for hoisting application.
- Trolley inverter control.
- NEMA 3R rating for electrical enclosures.
- Two-component epoxy paint is standard.
- Hoist motor is Class F insulated.
- The trolley drive is totally enclosed, grease lubricated and is designed to be maintenance-free.
- Trolley wheel bearings are permanently lubricated.
- Spacemaster® SX hoists are designed to meet and exceed either ASME H3 or ASME H4 duty ratings.

Spacemaster® Hoist Ease of Operation
The larger drum diameter provides near true vertical lift with only 1/8 inch drift per foot of lift. The Spacemaster® hoist's larger drum provides consistent smooth movement and better vertical positioning. This R&M hoist design also means a shorter frame length, allowing closer end approaches.
The trolley motor's standard inverter control offers two-speed multi-step or infinitely variable speed control for smooth acceleration and deceleration, minimal load swing, fast, efficient handling and accurate load placement.
Safety Features Include:
- Electromechanical load limit switch prevents the lifting in excess of 110% of rated capacity.
- 4-position hoist limit switch includes an innovative phase mismatch protection circuit that prevents the block from running up and damaging the R&M hoist in the event of phase reversal.
- Sealed dust-proof brakes require little adjustment.
- Hardened ground gears, thermal motor protection, exceptional rope life and ergonomic hook block design with sturdy safety latch contribute to the hoist's safe operation and increased reliability.
