LIFTING EQUIPMENT BY COLUMBUS McKINNON (YALE) - PART 2

As we read in the first part of the article, moving and lifting loads is not an easy task.

Columbus McKinnon’s (CMCO Yale) lifting accessories have been renowned for over 35 years for their quality and reliability.

We present to you some more of these accessories and their use:

 

Workshop equipment/ hydraulic lifting systems

Hydraulic jacks can usually lift vehicles and loads on one side. Hydraulic jacks with 2 pistons or with piston and shaft have extremely low design and built-in pressure control valve for longer life of the device. The built-in lowering valve provides controlled operation and smooth load lowering to facilitate use.

Jacks with a maximum lifting capacity of 2 - 50 t provide high forces for general functions such as lifting, pushing, moving and supporting all types of loads. They are durable and provide great accuracy when it comes to unloading a load. The jacks have a large base plate for increased stability and sockets designed for lifting heavy machinery and other loads. The lifting height depends on the length of the piston they have. The loads are lifted with a manual pump and the load is lowered with a precision reduction valve.

Hydraulic cylinders combine robustness, flexibility and power. A wide range of hydraulic cylinders up to 700 bar can be used for most lifting applications. Almost all cylinders are available in single act design, with return or double act spring. They have a lifting capacity of 5 - 200 t and can be equipped with lifting nails, piston plates, bottom adapters, extension tubes and support plates and can also be used with existing equipment.

Low height cylinders and flat bottles bring the desired performance in closed and confined spaces where no other solutions can be used. These cylinders are available in one action design and have a maximum capacity of 10 - 100 t.

Traction cylinders with a maximum capacity of 10 - 51 t can produce extremely high traction forces and can be precisely controlled with hand or electric pumps.

Laboratory presses with a capacity of up to 100t are an essential tool for precisely squeezing in and out bearings and other items or for pressing and bending materials and for shaft alignment.

RACK AND PINION JACKS

The jacks by CMCO-YALE are used to support loads that need to be lifted with stability. The most common applications for jacks are maintenance and repair, shipping, construction and agriculture. The load is placed either on the nail or on the jack head for lifting.

There are different types of jacks depending on the type of application. Some of them are the following:

     Steel jacks with fixed lifting claw are devices that can be used in forestry or agriculture and for industrial applications.

     The steel jacks with adjustable lifting claw allow the lifting and lowering of loads from different heights depending on the length of the jack. By adjusting the claw, the jacks can be placed directly at the desired height.

     Steel jacks with a fixed lifting nail and a smaller design are ideal when there is not much space available.

     Rail jacks make it possible to lift metal rails even in difficult conditions

     Wall jacks and pinion jacks can be used to lift, lower, pull and push loads.

They are used for lifting loads placed on the ground (tanks, boxes) as well as for maintenance / repair of cars, gasoline forklifts (Clark) etc. Also for the simultaneous lifting of loads from 2 or more points using the manual crank that the jacks have.

crane weighters/ spring tensioners

Crane weighers are ideal for weighing loads and are suitable for a variety of applications.

They can have a large, easy to read digital display, are easy to use and have a durable but lightweight design. Some models have an infrared remote control with a range of 8 m and have a measurement range of 0 - 100 t, USB port and control and data exchange is performed via wireless transmission. The housing can be rotated up to 180 ° and is sturdy but light. Crane weighters are used in applications where the materials received or shipped must be weighed and which are usually loaded onto trucks by lifting them (parcels, hardware, recycling). Also, in any application the crane user should have an idea of ​​the weight of the object being lifted as this may determine the amount of production of a material (eg in the chemical or food industries).

The spring tensioners with a load capacity of 0.5 - 10 kg (with locking device) are designed so that the cable that we have placed the load on is automatically withdrawn when no force is applied. In order to keep the load in a certain position, a certain amount of downward force must be exerted continuously. The spring tensioners have a sealed body made of steel and a dust-coated housing and feature a wear-resistant nylon cable guide.

There are models available for bigger weights (up to 200kgs) which are used to relieve the operator of the weight of hand tools. Using a conical rope drum, the weight of the connected load is compensated and loads up to 200 kg can be easily moved.

The complete range of products with heavy-duty drive systems offers the right model for a large number of applications, whether there are different path lengths or degrees of use, slopes and ramps or areas at risk of corrosion.

Pallet trucks, manual and electric pedestrian Clarks and lifting platforms will provide the appropriate solution depending on the type of application and the work we want to perform.

They are used mainly in storage areas and in any area that needs partial lifting or moving of loads which are placed on pallets (material warehouses and logistics companies). Also for lifting and transporting materials that are placed on the ground and cannot be easily lifted or do not have an attachment point or even large items such as electrical appliances, furniture, etc.

The company Ch. Boznos and Son SA imports the products of manufacturer CMCO Columbus McKinnon in Greece.

The company also has a service department at its headquarters in Piraeus and can support the needs of its customers for maintenance or repair.

The company's technicians have been trained in the manufacturer’s headquarters in Germany and are certified by the manufacturer.

For all above mentioned items of Columbus McKinnon our company can provide all the necessary certificates.
