Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, has made its popular Flex-48 Quick Ship Program even more flexible.

Today, we have added two new options to the Flex-48 Program to meet customer needs and increase the depth of the program.

• Shaw-Box products now available
• 5 ton crane kit with 60 foot span now available

Select Shaw-Box World Series models will join the Yale Global King under the Flex-48 Quick Ship program. These wire rope hoists have been configured to ship within 48 hours (2 business days) from time of order entry. The addition of the Shaw-Box units will satisfy market segments familiar and loyal to the popular Shaw-Box name. In addition, we have also added a 5 ton Crane Kit with 60 foot maximum crane span to the Flex-48 program; branded as Yale or Shaw-Box based on customer preference.

For maximum flexibility, the Yale and Shaw-Box Flex-48 units are offered as a standard monorail unit or as a complete plug & play crane kit in 5 and 10 ton capacities. These units have been configured for broad appeal, while living up to our own standards of dependability and durability. For more product details and specification information, please review our new brochure.

All Yale Global King and Shaw-Box World Series models continue to be available through the Columbus McKinnon network of crane builders and distributors. For a list of distributors, please contact customer service at 1-800-888-0985 or go to www.cmworks.com.
