Experience the Core of Lifting
The Core of Lifting
The Core of Lifting is more than component design. It’s part of the philosophy we put behind R&M’s equipment – we bring the right tools and products to do the best job possible for your application. The Core of Lifting components include motors, gearboxes, and control systems that are specifically made for cranes and lifting activity.
The core components are all built and tested for quality in-house, and they provide longevity and higher levels of functionality than other commercial products. By designing our own parts and integrating them into the market, we reduce supply chain risks and delays.
Top quality operation and operator safety are important in every aspect, and because each project is custom-quoted with our QuoteMaster software, we provide right-sized equipment for optimal performance. This provides overall quality experiences for operators, better cost efficiencies over the lifetime of your equipment, and maximum efficiency for hoists.
Core Components – Motor, Gearbox, & Control System
Since our Core of Lifting components are manufactured domestically, we can ensure quality and careful design while complying with international standards.
Motor
R&M’s motors are built specifically for hoists and cranes, unlike standard commercial motors that are sometimes used for lifting applications. It is designed specifically for the action of moving loads up and down, adaptable to your application’s lifting needs and manufactured to handle heavy-duty forces and high starting currents, which allow it to function without overheating. Our motors provide reliable, energy efficient lifting for every crane.
Gearbox
The gearbox holds gears, shafts, bearings, and housing machined to AGMA 10/11 specifications for a seamless fit between components. The small size of the gearbox and fewer parts keeps expenses lower with less oil and waste. R&M performs quality testing to ensure each piece conforms to our high standards. A smooth tooth contact and case hardening keeps all of our gears energy efficient, strong, and less prone to damage over time.
Control System
The control system in every hoist is integral for smooth operation. Using advanced software, each set of controls provides an interface for operations and offers monitoring and data collection features for optimal efficiency. The easy-to-use, straightforward interface helps with maintenance and crane operation safely and simply. The ControlMaster® Inverter Controls provides quality performance and increases motor and brake life. All software is coded in-house for always-improving processes, easy updating, and reliable diagnostics.
Efficiency Through Safety
All the Core of Lifting components work together to bring about energy efficient lifting that abides by safety standards. In particular, they follow corporate supply chain ISO certifications, such as ISO 9001 which conforms to the Quality Management System standard.
Innovation through the Core of Lifting leads to more efficiencies, which in turn leads to more savings. How can your equipment benefit from these key components? Contact us today to learn how you can Rise Above your competition.
