Columbus McKinnon is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer, and marketer of material handling systems and services, which efficiently and ergonomically move, lift, position, or secure material. Key products include hoists, actuators,
cranes, and lifting and rigging tools. With a rich 135-year tradition, the company is focused on commercial and industrial applications that require the safety and quality provided by its superior design and know-how.

Whether chain or wire rope, electric or pneumatic; our line of powered hoists are ideal in manufacturing, power generation, and industrial facilities where heavy items are lifted and positioned as part of production or warehousing. Our new Global Max
high-capacity wire rope hoist complements our line with capacities up to 50 Tons. We offer a full line of manual hoists, both hand chain and lever tools, which are used primarily for maintenance and construction activities.

Although many hoists are standard "off the shelf" items, we can modified most to meet exact requirements. Extra long lifts, variable frequency drives for precise positioning, and special hook/trolley configurations are just a few modifications that
can be made. Hoists can be integral part of overhead lifting systems that combine a crane or jib as an attachment point, and below-the-hook lifting devices for securely attaching a load.

Columbus McKinnon manufactures and markets a wide range of hoists for use in diverse applications around the world.

Products marketed under CM Rigging Products are used extensively to lift, position, and secure loads. From Super Strong Shackles to Herc-Alloy Chain, the CM Rigging Products land stand for innovation and quality. Part of a "complete lifting system" when used in conjunction with hoists and cranes, these items provide numerous options for securing loads in environments ranging from power plants to construction sites. In addition to products related to lifting, the range includes load binders and chain assemblies for heavy duty trucking needs. Additionally, carbon chain and hooks are offered for applications ranging from farming to public works.

When it comes to cranes, Columbus McKinnon offers a wide range of alternatives. Many of our top distributors are crane builders by trade and supply full overhead bridge crane systems for environments ranging from shipping/receiving to workstations. Complete crane kits marketed under the Yale and Shaw-Box brands feature virtually everything required to build a crane. Included in these kits are single or double girder end trucks, bridge motors, hoist/trolley combination's, a
control panel, pendant control, and a festoon system. All of these components are packaged together so that overall assembly time is kept to a minimum. In addition to complete crane kits, individual crane components are readily available. Enclosed track systems and lightweight jibs are marketed under the LodeRail name, while heavy duty jib cranes in various styles are offered in the Abell-Howe brand.

The entertainment industry is always pushing the envelope with new effects and technology. Columbus McKinnon, who helped revolutionize the entertainment industry with the CM Lodestar, continues to design innovative products to create memorable productions. Whether it's touring, corporate, worship, theatrical, sporting events, or film, CM-ET has all the high performance rigging products you need to turn your ideas into reality.

The food and beverage industry requires a clean working environment. When lifting heavy containers for storage or transportation, performing maintenance on production machinery, or ergonomically positioning loads in process, you need material handling products that get the job done easily and safely while also being a "clean" solution. Columbus McKinnon has developed a complete line of hoist
and rigging products to meet the needs of the food and beverage industry. With options including stainless steel chain and hooks, FDA approved finishes, and food-grade chain lubricants, we have everything you need to move and lift your goods.
