The RML combines high-strength aluminium and steel components to deliver a robust, reliable lifting solution that stands up to the rigours of daily use. Designed for demanding construction, M&E, industrial, and maintenance applications, its durable construction provides the strength needed to handle heavy loads while maintaining the practicality of a portable system.

The aluminium mast sections help reduce overall unit weight for easier transportation and manoeuvrability, while critical steel components provide the durability and structural integrity required for long-term performance.

Designed with portability in mind, the RML combines a lightweight construction with a compact footprint, making it easy to move between locations and work areas.

Its manageable design reduces manual handling effort while allowing operators to quickly position the lift where it is needed, helping improve productivity across maintenance, installation, and material handling tasks.

From compact lifting applications to higher-capacity material handling tasks, the RML range offers a model to match the job. With four versions available, each providing different lifting heights and load capacities, users can select the equipment best suited to their site constraints, lifting requirements, and operational challenges. Whether working in plant rooms, construction projects, M&E installations, manufacturing facilities, or maintenance environments, there is an RML configuration designed to deliver the right combination of reach, capacity, and manoeuvrability.

The versatility of the RML extends beyond its range of models. Every unit can be converted from a forward-facing material lift to a counterbalance configuration in just minutes, allowing operators to adapt to different lifting scenarios using a single piece of equipment. This dual-configuration design enables the lift to handle loads that would otherwise be difficult to access.

The Reid Material Lift Range is engineered to deliver dependable performance in demanding industrial, maintenance and logistics environments. Every lift is rigorously tested and manufactured to the highest standards, providing operators with confidence in the safety, reliability and durability of their equipment. From daily material handling to critical maintenance tasks, our lifts are built to perform when it matters most.

Designed with compliance at their core, Reid Material Lifts are manufactured in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and support adherence to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). Combined with stringent quality control and testing procedures, this commitment ensures safe, compliant lifting solutions trusted by professionals across a wide range of industries.

One lift, two ways to work. Switch between forward-facing and counterbalance configurations to tackle a wider range of lifting challenges with a single piece of equipment.

The RML is built to adapt as site requirements change. Its dual configuration design allows operators to choose the setup best suited to the task, expanding lifting possibilities while reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment.

In its forward-facing configuration, the load is positioned directly in front of the mast, making it ideal for general lifting applications where there is clear access to the load. This setup provides excellent control and stability when handling materials, equipment, and components across construction sites, warehouses, workshops, and industrial facilities.

For more restricted environments, the lift can be converted into a counterbalance configuration. By eliminating front-leg interference, operators can safely position loads over obstacles such as machinery, pallets, workbenches, and fixed equipment. This makes it particularly effective for maintenance activities, manufacturing environments, utilities, and installation work where access is limited.

From transport and setup through to operation and maintenance, the RML incorporates a range of user-focused features designed to reduce downtime, improve reliability, and enhance the lifting experience.

Every aspect of the RML has been developed with usability in mind. A virtually silent winch helps reduce noise levels in live working environments, making communication between operators easier and creating a more comfortable working area. For transport, integrated rough-ground wheels allow the lift to be moved safely over uneven terrain and loaded into vehicles with minimal effort.

During operation, features such as the wide rear pulley and hardwearing alloy pulleys ensure smooth cable travel, reducing cable stress and promoting consistent lifting performance. The inclusion of an anti-twist galvanised steel cable further improves reliability by minimising tangles, wear, and unnecessary cable replacement costs.

Maintenance and configuration changes are equally straightforward. A quick-change rear pulley can be removed using a single bolt to simplify servicing, while captive plunger pins eliminate the risk of misplaced components that can delay work. When application requirements change, the lift can be converted between forward-facing and counterbalance configurations without the need for tools, enabling operators to adapt quickly and keep projects moving.

Together, these features create a lift that is not only capable and versatile, but also easier to transport, operate, maintain, and reconfigure, helping users maximise productivity while reducing downtime and ownership costs.
