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.
