Yale hoist history
Yale hoist’s leadership has stood for quality for 100 years!
Yale hoist history
It all began in 1875, when Linus Yale invented the Differential Hoist launching the monorail hoist industry. Since then, the Yale company has contributed numerous advancements, as well as a continued introduction of safety-oriented accessories like the Weston Screw Load Brake, first introduced way back in 1879. Quality engineered and performance tested, Yale hoist products, like the company itself, are built to last.
