CM products set the standard for lifting at the turn of the 20th century and continue to lead the industry in safety, efficiency, and innovation. The CM Cyclone was introduced in 1904 and has maintained its status as one of the most popular and reliable hand chain hoists ever designed. CM’s Herc-Alloy chain was created in 1935, disrupting the chain industry to meet demands in coal mines and steel mills. In 1955 we introduced the iconic CM Lodestar, still among the highest-quality powered hoists on the market today.
CM continues to build upon its brand legacy as a leader in innovation with the world’s first HMI-certified ratchet lever hoist, CM Smart ID radio frequency identification, and CM Hi-Tech automation technology.
