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.

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.
