Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, unveils the high capacity Yale LodeKing electric wire rope hoist.

With capacities from 15 to 60 Tons, the new LodeKing wire rope hoist combines the durability that loyal Yale hoist users have come to expect, with the higher capacities that today’s applications demand. The Yale LodeKing is an exciting and progressive addition to our current wire rope hoist product line. Its higher capacities round off our portfolio and makes Yale hoists more competitive and appealing to a broader market.

It is engineered and built with many robust standard features, such as its True Vertical Lift Design for better load control and Center Drive Configuration for improved load centering. At the heart of the LodeKing is an industry-proven Gear Drive that delivers reliable performance with easy maintenance. In addition, the optional Ion Nitriding of Sheaves and Drums is available for maximum protection against wear.
