Rex Chainbelt Rexrol Parts Catalog Manual – No Guesswork on Parts

You’ve got a Rexrol hoist or crane that needs a new seal, a bearing, or a whole gear assembly. You pull up some third-party website that claims to have the part, but the dimensions don’t match, the threads are wrong, and suddenly you’ve got downtime and a return shipping label. That’s why I keep an OEM parts catalog within arm’s reach of my box. This manual – the original Rex Chainbelt Rexrol parts catalog – is 77 pages of factory-issued diagrams and part numbers for the 3-5 Ton, 4-6 Ton, RR5, and RR6 models. It’s not a service manual; it’s the parts bible. Used it last week to ID a worn sprocket on an RR5. Part number on page 23 was dead nuts. Ordered it, swapped it, done.

Parts Identification: How the Catalog is Organized

Every page is laid out by assembly group. You won’t find narrative instructions here – this is a flat-parts list with exploded-view drawings. The bookmarks run from page 1 through page 77, and each major section groups related components: hoist gearing, brake assemblies, trolley parts, chain drives, load blocks. Page 44, for example, shows the complete chain drive setup for the 4-6 Ton model. If you’ve ever tried to match a chain pitch without a drawing, you know how fast that goes sideways. This catalog gives you the factory part number, the quantity used per assembly, and the correct illustration. No guessing which roller pin you need.

Why OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Cross-Reference

Aftermarket catalogs get the dimensional data wrong because they’re working from worn samples or second-hand measurements. Rex Chainbelt printed these pages for their own dealers. The drawings reflect the parts as designed, not as a third-party distributor thinks they were made. I’ve caught aftermarket catalogs listing a 5/8-inch pin for an application that actually takes a 7/16-inch pin. That’s a dropped load waiting to happen. With this manual, you see the original Rex chainbelt illustration. The part number on the page matches the stamping on the casting. That’s the difference between running a hoist and having it pulled out of service for a safety violation.

3 Critical Uses for This Parts Catalog

First, rebuild planning. You can lay out every part you’ll need before you crack the housing. Second, warranty verification – if you have a failed component, the OEM part number proves it’s the original piece. Third, reverse-engineering a retrofit. Say you want to replace a worn brake disc with a modern equivalent. You need the original dimensions and mounting pattern. Page 31 shows the brake assembly layout with dimensions. A caliper check against the part confirms fitment. No aftermarket fluid capacity table can give you that.

Audience Fit: Who Actually Needs This

If you maintain a Rexrol hoist in a warehouse, a fabrication shop, or a machine shop, this catalog belongs in your digital library. The home garage enthusiast might not have a Rexrol on a concrete pad, but if you’ve got one of these units in a barn or a salvage lift, you’ll need part numbers nobody stocks on a shelf. For the professional mechanic, the catalog saves the hour you’d spend calling suppliers who don’t have drawings. For the workshop owner, it means you can quote a repair with actual part costs instead of guessing. The manual covers the 3-5 Ton and 4-6 Ton chassis, plus the RR5 and RR6 variants. Those models share many driveline components, but the drawings highlight the differences in bearing sizes and shaft lengths. If you skip the OEM catalog, you’ll order a part that’s close but not right – and close kills productivity.

Source Validity: Original Rex Chainbelt Print

This is a scan of the original factory-issued parts catalog, not a re-drawn or third-party reproduction. The page numbers are consecutive from 1 to 77, no gaps, no missing foldouts. I’ve seen too many “OEM” catalogs that are actually copies of copies where the part numbers got blurred or the arrows point to the wrong component. This one is crisp. The line drawings are sharp enough to read the callout numbers without a loupe. AutoRepairManuals only carries this kind of original factory documentation. That’s why I buy from them – no aftermarket nonsense.

FAQ

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values, fluid capacities, and step-by-step repair procedures are in the shop manual for these models.

How do I look up a part number using this catalog?

Find the assembly drawing that matches your hoist model (3-5 Ton, 4-6 Ton, RR5, or RR6). The exploded view shows each part with a reference number. Cross-reference that number to the parts list table on the same page or facing page. The table gives the Rex Chainbelt part number. Order that number from a Rex distributor or cross it to an equivalent. Page 18 shows the hoist gearing group – a good starting point for most drivetrain repairs.

Can I use this catalog to identify parts on a non-Rexrol hoist?

Not reliably. The drawings are specific to Rexrol models. If you have a different brand, you need that brand’s OEM catalog. Using this one for a different manufacture will give you wrong part numbers.

Will I need another manual to actually rebuild the hoist after I get the parts?

Yes. The parts catalog tells you what to order. You still need the Rexrol shop manual for disassembly, clearance checks, and torque sequences. AutoRepairManuals carries those too. Check their [LINK_ID_REL_*: related Rexrol service manuals] section before you start turning wrenches.

You want to stop wasting time on wrong parts and start getting hoists back in service. Automotive Industry Overview covers equipment safety standards, and Internal Combustion Engine isn’t related to this hoist, but knowing general mechanical principles helps. The bottom line: if you’re working on a Rexrol, access the factory manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it on your tablet. No cross-referencing, no returns. Access the Factory Manual.
