Double Girder Hoists for Precise, Stable Handling of Heavy Loads
To handle heavy loads safely and precisely in a wide variety of applications with space limitations, Yale YK and Shaw-Box SK stand-alone double girder wire rope hoists from Columbus McKinnon can lift up to 30 tons using a low-headroom trolley and UL508A-approved controls for highly stable hoist, trolley, and bridge motions.

Spreader Beam for Lifting Very Wide or Heavy-Duty Loads
The HSDSB Standard Duty Spreader Beam from Harrington Hoists can lift from 2 tons up to 40 tons with outside spreads from 4 ft to 24 ft by using an upper rigging spread between two lift points that adds extra stability to the lift.

The Advantages of Pneumatic vs. Electric Hoists
Why air hoists are beyond compare for safe, reliable, cost-effective lifting.

Safely Lift Steel, Fiber and Plastic Drums Weighing up to a Ton
The HCB hoist attachment from Liftomatic handles all 55 gal drums from 15 in to 27 in diameter and safely lifts drums weighing up to 2,000 lb using an exclusive drum handling attachment and a padded belt cradle to protect the drum sidewall during transport.

Overhead Cranes for Clean Foundry Operations
Six overhead crane systems from R&M were installed at the newly constructed Kimura Foundry America that produces rapid prototype castings and provides small lot production services.

Chain Hoist for Low Headroom Work
Easy to install and relocate, compact single- and dual-speed GS Series Electric Chain Hoists from Gorbel are available with single or double fall, in any lift, with capacities from 1/8 ton to 5 ton and are ideal for low headroom applications.
