COLUMBUS McKINNON CORPORATION

INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING

DESIGNED FOR YOU

To create the best ratchet lever hoist on the market,
Columbus McKinnon started with a fundamental question –
how do people use ratchet lever tools to perform their jobs?

To answer that question, a global team of CMCO engineers
and application specialists worked with the Institute for Product
Innovation at the University of Wuppertal, Germany, to perform
an in-depth ergonomic study. Research included more than 200
voice-of-customer interviews across 10 countries, as well as numerous
on-site evaluations of real-life applications for traditional lever tools.

The study revealed that lever hoists are more often used for pulling
and securing than they are for lifting. And, in many applications,
proper, safe and ergonomic use is not possible.

Using the data collected, Columbus McKinnon engineered
and built a first-in-class product that exceeds the ergonomic
and performance expectations of our customers around the world.
The result is not simply the best, but rather one of the most innovative

™

and safest ratchet lever hoists in the world – the CM Tornado 360,˚

™

featuring the revolutionary Sidewinder

lever handle.

FEATURING ThE

SIDEwINDER™ LEVER HANDLE

DESIGNED FOR OPTIMAL

EFFIcIENcY & SAFETY

RATCHET LEVER HOIST

Redefining lever-operated hoists, the CM® Tornado 360°™ features the revolutionary
Sidewinder™ lever handle that allows for efficient operation in both lifting and pulling
applications. Ergonomically designed for increased safety, the patent-pending
CM Tornado 360° lets the operator work up to 12 times faster and with as much
as 30% less pull force than with conventional ratchet lever tools.

BENEFITS & FEATURES

SIDEWINDER LEVER HANDLE

This first-of-its-kind lever handle design is
revolutionizing the ratchet lever hoist industry.
Its unique foldable handle and 360˚ rotating
lever increases productivity while reducing
the risk of operator injury.

CONVENIENT DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR

Easy-to-use, highly visible directional indicator
located on the handle clearly shows the operating
direction as lifting, lowering or neutral.

EASy & SMOOTH FREE CHAININg

For quick take up and positioning of slack chain –
even with one hand. Designed not to accidently
free chain while under load. Cast chain end stop
allows the user to easily position the chain
in free-chaining mode and prevents it from
entering the liftwheel and jamming the hoist.

POSITIVE LOAD CONTROL

Fully enclosed Weston-type brake stays
clean and dry for precise load positioning.

BUILT TO LAST

Lightweight aluminum housing withstands
rigorous use and features high-quality, long­lasting bearings. Powder coat finish provides
extra protection in harsh environments.

MEETS ASME B30.21

EXCELLENT CORROSION PROTECTION

Robust chain guide and chain stripper made from
cast steel and zinc-plated for corrosion protection.

100% LOAD TESTED ZINC-PLATED CHAIN

Protects against corrosion.

EASy-TO-INSPECT SWIVEL HOOKS

Bolt-on hooks with nylon locks help users comply
with ASME B30.21 and B30.10 inspection requirements.
Hooks are forged, allowing them to yield under overload
without breaking. Cast safety latches provide positive
and secure load engagement.

INDUSTRy-LEADINg WARRANTy

Our lifetime warranty on all mechanical components,
including the Sidewinder lever handle, is the
industry’s best warranty against manufacturing
and material defects.

With our 3-year brake warranty, if the brake
discs wear out within 3 years from the date
of purchase, CMCO will replace the ratchet
disc assembly free of charge.

EASy IDENTIFICATION

Each unit has a unique serial number
for easy and accurate identification.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

SHIPyARD HOOKS

Available on 1-1/2 and 3 ton units only.

INTERNAL LOAD LIMITER

Allows the handle to rotate freely, preventing the
lifting of an overload sufficient to damage the hoist.
Units equipped with a load limiter feature a black
hand wheel for quick and easy on-site identification.

THE REVOLUTIONARY

™

SIDEwINDER

The patent-pending CM Tornado 360˚ ratchet lever hoist features the revolutionary
Sidewinder™ lever handle. What makes the Sidewinder so unique are two
innovative components:

1. 360˚ ROTATING LEVER

The unique offset, or curved, design of the
lever keeps the operator’s hand and body
aligned with the load chain. This reduces
the risk of the twist effect (when a hoist twists
around the chain) and the need to stabilize
the hoist with another hand.

2. FOLD-OUT REVOLVING HANDLE

Recessed in the lever, the heavy-duty steel
core handle folds down into position on either
side of the lever, allowing for easy operation
from any angle. The handle is grooved to
provide a secure grip – even with gloves.

The handle revolves, allowing the operator to

ergonomically and easily maintain control of
the lever through its full 360˚ range of motion.

Together, the Sidewinder’s lever and handle allow
the operator to realize the full potential of 360˚ rotation,
making the CM Tornado 360˚ unlike any other ratchet
lever hoist on the market:

n

360˚ rotation increases efficiency, allowing operators to work up

to 12 times faster than with a conventional ratchet lever hoist.

n

Minimal effort with best-in-class lever pull force that
beats the competition. For example, 38.2 lb./ft. for the
3/4 ton unit and 58.5 lb. / ft. for the 1-1/2 ton unit.

TO SUIT THE APPLIcATION

The CM Tornado 360˚ gives operators ultimate flexibility.
When an application requires a customary ratcheting hand grip,
the Tornado 360˚ can be operated like a traditional lever tool
when the lever handle is in the upright position.

OPTIONAL LOAD LIMITER

Units equipped with an internal load
limiter feature a black hand wheel for
quick and easy on-site identification.

while under load. Cast chain end stop allows the user to quickly
position the chain in free-chaining mode and prevents
it from entering the liftwheel and jamming the hoist.

In this mode of operation, the chain can be pulled through
the hoist in either direction by hand for quick attachment
to the load. To engage the free chaining feature, remove the load
and move the directional lever to the neutral

EASILY cARRY & TRANSPORT

wITH JUST ONE HAND

When folded out, the lever handle can serve as a carrying
grip for easy transport. Simply attach the end stop to the
hook and slip the hook onto the Sidewinder lever handle
to lift and carry the unit with one hand.

EASY & SAFE

POINT LOADING

With a blunt tip and the ability to point load, CM shipyard
hooks are ideal for positioning steel plates and fixtures during
welding applications in shipbuilding and metal fabrication
industries. Optional on 1-1/2 and 3 ton CM Tornado 360° units,
these hooks are forged from 8630 quenched and tempered alloy
in the USA and have a 4:1 design factor.
