Chain Blocks, Lever Hoists & Manual Trolleys
​When there's no power at the lift point, or you need fine control over a load, manual gear does the job. SafeLift Crane Aid, a division of Venter Cranes, is an authorized R&M Materials Handling provider. We supply R&M EZ Lift™ hand chain hoists (chain blocks), lever hoists and beam trolleys to shops, plants and job sites in Saskatoon, Regina and across Saskatchewan, and we inspect, repair and service them too.
RMII Manual Chain Hoist (Chain Block)
R&M EZ Lift™
The RMII is R&M's hand chain hoist for everyday overhead lifting, from 1/4 ton up to 10 ton. It ships with 10 ft (3 m) of lift as standard, and we can order it with a custom lift up to 98 ft (30 m). Hang it from its top hook on a beam trolley, or choose a version with a built-in push or geared trolley (1/2 to 5 ton) to save headroom.

Small, light and easy to carry, the RL lever hoist is made for pulling, tensioning and positioning loads where a chain block won't fit. The handle turns a full 360°, so you can work it in tight spaces. It's a standard-duty unit that suits construction, maintenance and service crews.

Capacities – 1/4 to 3 ton (250 – 3000 kg), all single fall.
-
Standard Lift – 5 ft (1.5 m) of lift as standard, with longer chain available.
-
360° Handle – Full handle rotation for tight work areas, with about 55–88 lbs of lever effort at rated load.

RPT Push Trolley & RPTC Hand Geared Trolley
R&M EZ Lift™
These beam trolleys let a top-hook hoist travel along an I-beam. They work with manual chain hoists and electric chain hoists alike.
​
Choose the RPT if you'll push the load along by hand. Choose the RPTC if you want to drive the trolley with a hand chain, which gives you better control of heavier loads. Both adjust to suit a wide range of beam flange widths. Download the EZ Lift brochure for full specs, or see the R&M product line card.
RPT Push Trolley
1/4 to 5 ton (250 – 5000 kg), pushed by hand along the beam.
RPTC Geared Trolley
1 to 10 ton (1000 – 10,000 kg), driven by a hand chain for precise travel.
Fits Your Beam
Adjustable for a wide range of flange widths, with a wide-flange option up to 12.2 in (310 mm) on 1/2 ton and up.
Safe & Low Maintenance
Crown-tread wheels for flat or tapered flanges, sealed maintenance-free bearings, safety drop lugs and rubber bumpers.
