- Reid "RML" Manual Material Lift
When forklifts, telehandlers, or cranes aren't an option, lifting can become quite challenging across various industries. The Reid RML range of Material Lifts is designed to step in where productivity, versatility, and safety are paramount. Fully compliant with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the RML range offers effective solutions that can greatly enhance these critical aspects, making it an essential tool across diverse industries and applications such as:
- Mechanical and electrical services servicing and installation
- Glass installation
- Steel erection
- General construction
- Decommissioning and demolition work
- Warehouse operations
Available in a range of lifting heights from 3000mm to 7500mm to suit your requirements, one single unit offers two versatile configurations - a conventional forward-facing material lift and also counterbalance with the ability to easily switch between the two, no tools required, you simply need to fit the Counterbalance Basket and 200kg (10 x 20kg hand-weights) of counterbalance weights (both of which sold separately).
RML Features
360° swivel castors (2 x locking castors)
Enables easier manoeuvrability of the unit at ground level and allows safer and easier micro adjustment when working at height.
Quiet winch
This helps reduce noise emissions, benefiting ‘live’ worksite environments where communication with the operators at height is key.
Easily transportable
The RML comes equipped with standard horizontal, rough ground transport wheels, enabling the unit to be moved safely over uneven surfaces and into vehicles.
Unique rear pulley
The wide rear pulley allows even cable feed onto the winch drum giving smooth operation and less cable stress. Quickly remove the rear pulley with just a single bolt, streamlining repair times and minimising downtime.
Hard-wearing alloy pulleys
Standard across the range to increase service life and aid smooth operation.
No ball lock pins
Detachable parts have a high chance of getting lost, that’s why the RML uses captive plunger pins preventing lost pins that cause downtime.
Anti-twist galvanised steel cable
Cable replacement due to tangles and premature wear is common on other material lifts, to avoid this waste and additional operating cost we included a galvanised steel, anti-twist cable in all versions.
Tool-free changeable configuration.
Easily converted from forward-facing to counterbalance configuration without the need for tools.
