CM Tornado 360 Ratchet Lever Hoist
|
Redefining lever-operated hoists, the CM® Tornado 360°™ features the revolutionary Sidewinder™ lever handle that allows for efficient operation in both lifting and pulling applications. Ergonomically designed for increased safety, the patent-pending CM Tornado 360° lets the operator work up to 12 times faster and with as much as 30% less pull force than with conventional ratchet lever tools. This product gives operators ultimate flexibility. When an application requires a customary ratcheting hand grip, the Tornado 360°™ can be operated like a traditional lever tool when the lever handle is in the upright position.

Offering 3/4 to 6 ton capacities and standard lifts up to 20 feet. The many benefits of the Tornado include:
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.
The 360 degree rotating handle has a unique offset, or curved, lever design that keeps the operator’s hand and body aligned with the load chain. This reduces the risk of the twist effect (when a hoist twists around the chain) and the need to stabilize the hoist with another hand.
Recessed in the lever, the fold-out, heavy-duty steel core handle folds down into position on either side of the lever, allowing for easy operation from any angle. The handle is grooved to provide a secure grip – even with gloves.
CONVENIENT DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR
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.
BUILT TO LAST
Lightweight aluminum housing withstands rigorous use and features high-quality, long-lasting bearings. Powder coat finish provides extra protection in harsh environments.
MEETS ASME B30.21
EXCELLENT CORROSION PROTECTION
Robust chain guide and chain stripper made from cast steel and zinc-plated for corrosion protection.
100% LOAD TESTED ZINC PLATED CHAIN
Protects against corrosion.
EASY-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.
INDUSTRY-LEADING WARRANTY
Our lifetime warranty on all mechanical components, including the Sidewinder lever handle, is the industry’s best warranty against manufacturing and material defects. With our 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.
EASY IDENTIFICATION
Each unit has a unique serial number for easy and accurate identification.
