Utilities & Power Generation

Versatile. Reliable. Durable.

The generation and delivery of power are essential to keeping our lives and businesses up and running. Although power is often taken for granted, we understand the hard work that goes into maintaining continuous uptime of existing power plants, meeting new plant construction schedules, and distributing power to millions of people every day. Whether you’re performing maintenance on a turbine, lifting gates on a dam, or repairing utility lines, your tools and equipment need to be reliable.

EMC powered by Columbus McKinnon provides intelligent, safe, and high-performing motion control products and solutions for your entire facility or job site. No matter the power source, we can help increase the safety, uptime, and productivity of your power generation or transmission application.
