Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, has made its popular Yale Global King electric wire rope hoist available in an Explosion Proof Option.

The Explosion Proof options include special enclosures, metal clad (MC) electrical cable and sealed fittings, intrinsically safe control stations and explosion proof rated motors (available as specified). The Explosion Proof hoist models are available in a variety of capacities with both underhung and top-running trolleys, and is ideal for Division 2, Class 1 (Group B, C & D) applications.

The upgraded 3-year warranty offered during the launch of our Flex-48 Global King program continues to be offered as a standard on the Global King hoists. This warranty change is a reflection of the hoist exceeding expectations and providing one of the lowest costs of ownership over its 10-years in the market.

All Global King 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.
