ABOUT PLATFORM HOISTS

View close up of the PRO400 G

RGC® Platform Hoists are the most economical, safe and labor saving method of raising materials to the roof on residential and commercial jobsites. Models are available in 200 lb. and 400 lb. lifting capacities, with gas or electric power drives, and 12 ft., 16 ft., 28 ft., or 44 ft. of track. Transport and assembly are easy; maintenance is minimal.

Platform Hoists are available with a choice of either a PRO or Classic Power Drive. PRO Drives require no lifting for assembly to the track, have a convenient single operator control lever and are enclosed in a protective steel frame. Classic Drives attach to the 3rd and 5th track cross ties for clearance on steep landscapes and have both brake and clutch operator control levers.

CLASSIC POWER DRIVES

Classic Power Drives, long-time market favorites, provide reliable and durable performance in gas and electric models. Assembled to the 3rd and 5th track cross ties, they make the Platform Hoist safe and convenient for use on steep landscapes. The safe two handle design requires minimal effort and keeps the operator away from the load. The brake rope design permits feathering of the brake, resulting in a smooth, controlled platform descent.
