Here’s a closer look at a portion of our hoist roll handling equipment lineup:
Electric Chain Hoists
Columbus McKinnon electric chain hoists have been designed and constructed to deliver reliable performance in even the most demanding applications. Columbus McKinnon’s Lodestar electric chain hoist models seamlessly combine best-in-class safety features with high duty cycles and smooth, quiet operation. The Columbus McKinnon Man Guard line provides the long, reliable service life required for heavy-duty hoist roll handling applications while living up to its name with a host of operator safety features. Other top-notch Columbus McKinnon electric chain hoist models include the ShopStar, Valustar and Powerstar.
Pneumatic Chain Hoists
Pneumatic hoists rely on air pressure instead of electricity to serve as the power source. Tilt-Lock’s offerings include the Columbus McKinnon Lodestar Air XL pneumatic chain hoists, which are heavy-duty models with variable-speed capacity for enhanced performance. The advanced ShopAir line combines exceptional lifting speed with remarkable precision in one compact yet powerful machine. The lightweight, versatile AirStar model features superior air leak protection along with numerous upgrades that ensure top-notch performance and extended service life. The portable Air Manipulator provides the ideal mobile hoisting equipment solution for workstation applications.
Manual Hoists
A manually-powered roll hoist enables you to economize while still meeting your performance, productivity and safety requirements. Examples from our Columbus McKinnon manual lineup include the versatile Hurricane 360˚ unit that allows you to lift, pull and position loads from virtually any angle. The perennially popular Cyclone combines cutting-edge engineering with exceptional efficiency and durability. The budget-friendly Series 622 hand chain hoist features a simple, compact design that works well in confined work areas with limited space.
Wire Rope Hoists
These types of hoists raise and lower rolls of materials using a wire rope wound on a drum, which can serve as a reliable alternative to chain hoists in specific situations. Wire rope hoists offer faster lifting speeds to increase your company’s productivity and more options for customization.
Customization
Although many of our stocked hoists are standard, “of-the-shelf” units, the expert Tilt-Lock team can modify most models to meet your exact requirements. Our in-house engineering department will work with you to design a product that addresses your company’s specialized material handling applications.
