Columbus McKinnon Expands CM Tornado 360-Degree Hoist Offering to Include Three- and Six-Ton Units

Six-ton CM Tornado 360-Degree Hoist

Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of material handling products, systems, and services, has expanded its CM Tornado 360-degree ratchet lever hoist product line to include new three-ton and six-ton capacity units. Ergonomically designed for increased safety, the patent-pending CM Tornado 360-degree allows the operator to be more productive with significantly less effort compared to conventional ratchet lever tools.

"Since the initial launch of the CM Tornado 360-degree late last year, we have continued to look for ways to make this innovative hoist even more versatile for our customers," said Andre Schon, senior global product manager - manual hoist products. "With the addition of three- and six-ton units to our initial 3/4 and 1-1/2 ton offerings, we have rounded out our product portfolio and given customers even more options for their lifting, positioning, and pulling applications."

The CM Tornado 360-degree redefines ratchet lever hoists with its unique Sidewinder lever handle. The Sidewinder lever handle features a 360-degree rotating lever and a fold-out revolving handle. Working in unison, these integrated components allow the operator to realize the full potential of 360-degree rotation while working in a safe and ergonomic position. This helps reduce repetitive wrist action experienced with traditional lever hoists, letting the operator utilize a full 360-degree range of motion to work up to 12 times faster.

The CM Tornado is available in 3/4-, 1-1/2-, three-, and six-ton capacities with standard lifts up to 20'. Additional lifts are also available. The hoist features a lifetime warranty and meets ASME B30.21 manually operated hoist standard.

Outside of the North American market, this hoist is available to customers under the Yale brand as the Yale Ergo 360-degree ratchet lever hoist. To learn more about the CM Tornado 360 or any of the company's products, call Columbus McKinnon Channel Services at 800-888-0985 or visit the URL below.
