CMCO

Columbus Mckinnon Corporation

A designer and manufacturer of intelligent motion and lifting equipment for material handling. Its hoists, cranes, chains, and conveyors move heavy loads through factories, energy sites, and transportation hubs, sold under brands like Kito, Crosby, and STAHL to industrial distributors and crane builders. The company's roots reach back to 1875, when a Chicago predecessor made sliding doors for railroad freight cars before turning to hoists, and its name comes from a late-1920s merger of Ohio's Columbus Chain Company with hoist maker Chisholm-Moore. Its classic hoists carry starry names like the Comet and the Lodestar.
