When working in the forestry and paper industries, there are a variety of unique needs and challenges. Columbus McKinnon products can be found at all stages of the logging and paper production processes, from manual tools and wireless controls that maneuver trees to a full range of control products used in paper processing plants. 

For logging applications, our Dixie Industries' brand products range from peavies to hookaroons, all crafted from the highest quality materials. We are the only manufacturer utilizing kiln-dried Hickory handles on our products, which is 47% stronger than the maple used by our competitors. We also provide chain and forged attachments used in logging transport.

Our precision-powered Magnetek brand wireless controls, pushbutton stations, and cable reels ensure precision maneuvering of logging and equipment, while our Duff Norton linear actuators are used for everything from debarking machines to flying saws.
