The phrase "need a lift?" takes on a whole new meaning at Columbus McKinnon. The company is one of North America's largest producers of equipment for lifting, positioning, or securing all kinds of large materials. Columbus McKinnon's hoists, cranes, actuators, and steel lifting and rigging tools are used in construction, general manufacturing and industrial machinery, forestry, mining, and even wind energy. Well known in the marketplace, its brand names include Coffing, Duff-Norton, Shaw-Box, and Yale (made by NACCO). Hoists are the company's biggest seller, representing more than half of sales. In addition to OEMs, the company sells to hardware distributors and rental outlets; some 60% of sales are in the US.
