During the hundreds of classes Columbus McKinnon's training team has conducted over the years, there are a variety of questions that arise regarding the use, maintenance and inspection of overhead cranes and hoists.

A safe working environment is important to everyone, regardless of company, industry or job. Here are the Top 10 Workplace Safety Tips for All Employees.

Columbus McKinnon's expert trainers provide an overview of safe practices for the use of material handling equipment in hazardous environments.

As your business changes with the introduction of new products or processes, so do your material handling requirements, and your existing overhead equipment may not be able to meet thosedemands. With early cranes came slow speed and limited ratings. Now, we find cranes with hoisting speeds of more than 300 FPM andbridge speeds as high as 1,000 FPM, handling loads from as little as 10 pounds to over 1,000 tons. Three options exist for equipment improvement - buy a new crane, refurbish a used crane, or upgrade the present crane.

In this article we examine the updated standards focusing on "Arc Flash" and the need to protect people from these hazards as they apply to Magnetek Material Handling Control products.

As one of the world's leading manufacturers of hoist and crane technology, we set an early course for a strong future. Industry 4.0 is promoting not ony partnerships at production level, but also cooperation between Columbus McKinnon's many brands.
