Featuring an innovative side-winding handle, the CM Tornado 360 has an efficient design that allows for operation in both lifting and pulling applications.
Sidewinder lever handle. This first-of-its-kind lever handle design will revolutionize the ratchet lever hoist industry.
Its unique foldable handle and 360˚ rotating lever increases productivity while reducing the risk of operator injury.
Easy-to-use, highly visible directional indicator located on the handle clearly shows the operating direction as lifting, lowering or neutral.
Easy & Smooth free chaining. For quick take up and positioning of slack chain – even with one hand. Designed not to accidently free chain while under load.
Cast chain end stop allows the user to easily position the chain in free-chaining mode and prevents it from entering the liftwheel and jamming the hoist.
Positive load control. Fully enclosed Weston-type brake stays clean and dry for precise load positioning.
Lightweight aluminum housing withstands rigorous use and features high-quality, long-lasting bearings. Powder coat finish provides extra protection in harsh environments.
East to inspect swivel hooks. Bolt-on hooks with nylon locks help users comply with ASME B30.21 and B30.10 inspection requirements.
Hooks are forged, allowing them to yield under overload without breaking. Cast safety latches provide positive and secure load engagement.
Robust chain guide and chain stripper made from cast steel and zinc-plated for corrosion protection.
Each unit has a unique serial number for easy and accurate identification.
Lifetime warranty on all mechanical components, including the Sidewinder lever handle, is the industry’s best warranty against manufacturing and material defects.
3-year brake warranty, if the brake discs wear out within 3 years from the date of purchase, CMCO will replace the ratchet disc assembly free of charge.
100% load tested zinc plated chain protects against corrosion.
Meets ASME B30.21.
