Manual Chain Hoists & Lifting Solutions

Portable manual chain products are key for lifting operations across many industries. They offer unique advantages, such as no need for a power source and flexible utilization. R&M's manual lifting products are built to withstand the rigorous demands of construction, manufacturing and maintenance applications where power is not available or hasn't yet been applied.

Our manual lifting products include RMII manual chain hoists, RL manual lever pullers, RPT & RPTC manual trolleys and RBC beam clamps, ideal for auto body shops, construction sites and industrial facilities where manual solutions are needed due to lack of power or mobility requirements. Our chain hoists and lever pullers feature integrated overload devices, giving operators an additional layer of safety.

Because they are manual, it is much easier to move them from place to place and from site to site. Operators can safely lift substantial loads with minimal effort through efficient gear ratios and high-quality load chains while maintaining complete control throughout the lifting process. Each product features the robust construction and safety features that you expect from R&M, making them budget-friendly, rugged and durable with a wide range of available capacities.

Durability: Built to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments, our manual chain products feature hardened steel construction of critical load-bearing components. The load chains undergo specialized heat treatment to ensure exceptional strength and wear resistance. The hoist housing is engineered to protect internal mechanisms from dust, moisture and impact damage. This ensures reliable operation across thousands of lifting cycles, making R&M manual chain hoists a sound long-term investment for any operation.

Safety: Each unit incorporates multiple safety features such as load brakes that automatically engage to prevent accidental load dropping, overload protection to prevent operation beyond rated capacity and positive load control throughout the entire lifting range. The chain guides are designed to prevent chain jamming or binding, while the ergonomic hand chain positioning helps operators maintain safe working positions during lifting operations.

Value: Leading the industry in durability and longevity, our manual chain products deliver exceptional return on investment through their unique combination of affordability, minimal maintenance requirements and extended service life. Because they don't require electricity, they have lower installation costs, no energy consumption costs and lower operational expense. R&M manual chain hoists can provide years of reliable service, making them one of the most cost-effective lifting solutions available.

Manual chain products can be used in manufacturing facilities for equipment installation and maintenance, in automotive maintenance facilities for lifting motors and other heavy items during repairs and in countless industrial applications where reliable, precise lifting capability is essential.

Construction Industry: Manual chain hoists are invaluable in construction environments where power availability is limited or precise load positioning is critical. From lifting structural steel components into position to installing heavy mechanical equipment, portable manual hoists provide the flexibility and control construction professionals demand. The independence from electrical power sources makes them ideal for remote construction sites, while their compact design allows for easy transport between job locations.

Service Work: Maintenance and repair operations across industries rely on manual lifting equipment for accessing and positioning heavy components. Whether servicing industrial machinery, performing vehicle maintenance or conducting facility repairs, manual chain products provide the precise control needed at a budget-conscious cost. The ability to position loads exactly where needed reduces labor time and minimizes the risk of damage to expensive components.
