RGC Ladder Platform Hoists
The Go-To Ladder Lift Built for Professionals — Safe. Easy. Reliable.
A customer favorite for decades, the RGC Platform Hoist is the most durable and reliable ladder hoist available. This powerhouse lifts shingles and other materials to the roof quickly and safely so you can get the job done right. Available with your choice of our proven Classic Drive or the all-new PHD Drive, RGC ladder lifts reduce fatigue and prevent injuries by safely moving heavy materials to the roof with minimal effort. Sometimes called a laddervator or tranzporter, RGC platform hoists offer superior functionality, fast setup, and easy assembly—so you can get the job done faster, safer, and more efficiently.
RGC ladder hoists are available in 200 lb., 250 lb., and 400 lb. capacities and can be customized with different length track sections, pivoting tracks, and your choice of gas and electric power drives. Designed to last longer than the competition, RGC ladder hoists save you time and money over the life of the equipment. RGC ladder lifts are safer than competing models, thanks to our exclusive side-mounted control handle—eliminating the need to operate a foot pedal from beneath the load, which can be awkward and unsafe. RGC drives also mount up off the ground, to provide clearance from shrubs and other landscape obstacles.
Whether you choose the Classic or the PHD Drive, the RGC Platform Hoist delivers rugged performance, jobsite safety, and long-lasting value—making it the most trusted ladder lift of roofing professionals.
