CM Addresses Pin Issue
Columbus McKinnon recently issued the following statement:
There has been some
information circulating recently within the Entertainment Industry in reference
to brake retaining pins on Columbus McKinnon Hoists. This issue goes back to
2006 when Columbus McKinnon issued the attached notice concerning a small
number of brake retaining pins for the following hoists: Prostar, Shopair, Shopstar,
Shophoist, Model CPS, Budgit Series, Coffing SLC, Little Mule SLM and Yale SAL
powered chain hoists built between February 2005 and April 2006. The serial numbers that were affected
had the last two letters of RP, RQ, RR, RS, RT, RU, RV, RW, RX, RY, RZ, SA,
SB, SC and SD.
Columbus McKinnon did
notify at that time every distributor that purchased the affected hoists and
sent out replacement pins. Our
distributors did a good job of notifying their customers and having the pins
replaced. However it has come to
our attention that some end users of the affected hoists may not have replaced
the brake pins. If you have a hoist
model and serial number listed above and the brake pin has not been replaced,
please contact Columbus McKinnon directly at the number below.
