Hoists Columbus McKinnon is offering new electric wire rope hoists within its Yale and Shaw-Box brands. The Yale YK and Shaw-Box SK lines come in three frame sizes, with lifting capacities from 2,000 pounds to 10 tons and lifting heights from 20 feet to 131 feet. The hoists are appropriate for a wide range of applications, including manufacturing and warehouse tasks, and are especially suited for use in areas with space limitations because they feature a low-headroom trolley. The trolley can be adjusted easily to fit different sizes of beams and has two speeds. A 5-ton Yale YK wire rope hoist is shown.

What's new? The hoists.

Benefits Safe, reliable operation and long product life. The hoists have precision gears for quiet operation and start and stop smoothly. Standard safety features include multiple limit switches, motor-temperature control and overload protection. The oil-lubricated gear box never requires oil changes.
