What RM2M does

RM2M is a privately-held French B2B industrial equipment distributor headquartered in Marcy-l'Étoile (Lyon metropolitan area, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), operating from a single site with 6 employees. The company distributes lifting equipment and overhead crane components, with a stated specialty in Telecrane radiocommand (industrial radio remote control) systems for which it provides authorized after-sales service. Its catalog spans industrial radiocommandes, electric chain hoists (50 kg–40 t), electric cable hoists (500 kg–125 t), manual and pneumatic hoists, load limiters, load cells/dynamometers (including ATEX-certified models to 500 t), lifting magnets, cable reels, electric and pneumatic button boxes, gantry and jib cranes, winches, jacks, conductor bars/festoon systems, and a broad accessories range. Differentiated engineering elements include load limiters fitted even on hoists rated below 1,000 kg, wire-based (rather than PCB-based) hoist electrical circuits with DIN-rail components to reduce repair cost, oversized lifetime-lubricated gearboxes, and ATEX certification across multiple product lines for explosive atmospheres.

The company operates a direct sales motion through its e-commerce storefront at rm2m.fr combined with quote-based pricing for customized orders and a phone/email consultative channel staffed by technicians who advise on equipment selection. Pricing is per unit with no subscription or SaaS layer: manual hoists start at approximately €134, electric hoists range from hundreds to thousands of euros, and load cells span roughly €1,600 (500 kg) to €7,890 (50 t), with rental ("Location") offered as a secondary stream. Go-to-market is single-country (France) with no third-party distributor network, relying on owned digital marketing (SEO, blog "Nos conseils") and Google reviews for demand generation.

RM2M carries industry-standard certifications (ISO 9001 for hoist manufacturing, EN 818-7, EN 13157, EN 1677-4, EN 61558-2-6, CE marking) and ATEX ratings for hazardous-environment products, targeting industrial manufacturers (primary), maintenance departments, foundry/metallurgical facilities, construction sites, and operators in petrochemical and explosive-atmosphere environments. The firm reports 15,000+ product references in stock at its department-69 warehouse and over 30 electric hoists held for rapid shipment, positioning inventory depth and rapid delivery as its operational backbone. Revenue, customer concentration, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed.
