The chemical and food processing industries often require a clean working environment where contamination can potentially be catastrophic. At Columbus McKinnon, we’ve developed a range of hoists and motion control products designed to meet the needs of both chemical and food processing plants.

With options such as stainless steel chains and hooks, FDA-approved finishes, and specialized chain lubricants, our food-grade hoists and rigging products combine maximum versatility with cleanliness. Whether you're moving storage containers or repairing production equipment, our products help move and lift your goods while ensuring a clean and sanitary environment.

We also provide complete control systems used in food and chemical production. By automating processes, these systems can help limit contamination, ensure consistent quality, reduce waste, and increase efficiency and control. Also, our linear actuators play a pivotal role in helping ensure the systematic and orderly working of machines in production processes. 

In facilities where acids, lyes and chemical compounds are handled, we also offer explosion-proof STAHL CraneSystems' brand chain hoists, wire rope hoists and winches. 

From cleanrooms to food packaging plants, Columbus McKinnon products can help.
