Chain Hoist Increases Production With Less Effort

Milwaukee Tool worked countless hours alongside other professionals onsite. They witnessed the frustrations of both manual and electric hoists. Milwaukee Tool revolutionized the hoisting process by incorporating user feedback into their product development process. Along with Columbus McKinnon’s collaboration, they reduced installation to a matter of minutes, removed the physical strain of a manual lift, and improved the ease of transport from site to site. With the new solution, users can achieve higher productivity by expending less effort.

Paired with an integrated variable speed lift and lower button, allowing up to a quarter-inch of chain movement, users have more precision while installing materials. As a result, the new hoist drives productivity throughout the day.

One-Key Technology Integration Simplifies Functionality

The new chain hoist delivers effortless installation for the professional user for ease of use in the application. Featuring an inverted design, access to the battery compartment is quick and convenient for changes.
