AMHERST, N.Y., March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordering replacement parts for Columbus McKinnon brand products is easier, faster and more economical than ever with Parts Star™ by Columbus McKinnon.

Using genuine Columbus McKinnon parts is always the best way to repair Columbus McKinnon brand hoists.

Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, developed the Parts Star™ replacement parts program to ensure customers purchase authentic Columbus McKinnon parts. Genuine CMCO parts are designed to fit the hoist's exact specifications, maintaining warranty requirements and the integrity of the hoist's design and safety features.

Channel Partners can take advantage of two unique components of the Parts Star™ program:

Total Repair Kits
We have pre-packaged common chain and wire rope hoist replacement parts into competitively priced kits. These kits guarantee that Channel Partners will get everything that they need to do a complete and professional hoist repair. Channel Partners can order everything they need for common maintenance with new easy-to-order smart part numbers. End-users can ask for a "total repair" and know they're getting genuine CMCO parts.

Bulk Packaged Parts
In addition to Total Repair Kits, we now offer discounted volume packaging for our most common replacement parts. In addition to saving money, Channel Partners can ensure the parts they need are always on hand with less frequent ordering and reduced lead times.

Parts Star Total Repair Kits are currently available for the CM Bandit ratchet lever hoist, the CM AirStar electric chain hoist and Yale Global King and Shaw-Box World Series wire rope hoists. Parts Star Bulk Packaged Parts are available for rigging and hoist Latch Kits. New products will be added to the program in the coming months.
