The Intelli-Connect diagnostics and analytics system provides users with essential information about the performance and status of their cranes and hoists.

Intelli-Connect Columbus McKinnon’s diagnostics and analytics system provides users with essential information about the performance and status of their cranes and hoists and enables quick and easy programming, predictive maintenance, monitoring and troubleshooting. Intelli-Connect wirelessly delivers diagnostic and analytic information from Columbus McKinnon equipment outfitted with Magnetek variable-frequency drives (VFDs). Using the Intelli-Connect mobile app, crane and hoist users can access detailed system information on a tablet or smartphone.   

What’s new? The Intelli-Connect system. Additionally, an upgraded version of the mobile app, featuring trending data and event logging, will be available this summer.  

Benefits Improved safety, uptime and productivity. The system can prevent downtime caused by the need for unexpected maintenance. It eliminates the need for maintenance workers to climb up to the VFD, power it down and connect hardware to access VFD status information.
