Setting the Standard
The CM Lodestar has been trusted for generations in the material handling industry. Designed for durability and reliability with safety in mind, the CM Lodestar sets the standard for overhead lifting.
Less Maintenance & Easier Inspection
Heavy Duty DC Brake is designed for a long service life. Brake location allows for quick access and easy inspection. Lifetime grease-lubricated Gear Box means no oil change out is required. Precision gears provide better wear and longer life. Clutch located outside the Gear Box allows for easy access which eliminates the need for complete disassembly and reduces downtime.
Improved Serviceability
Easy access to the Clutch, Motor, Electrical Control Panel and Brake Assembly.
Longer Service Life
Lifetime grease-lubricated Gear Box and helical gearing ensures efficient operation. Heavy duty rated motors. Hoist workmanship backed by a lifetime warranty.
Improved Load Safety
Clutch is located outside the load path which prevents slipping of the load in an overload condition when brake is not powered.
Improved Chain Life
5 Pocket Lift Wheel provides better chain and lift wheel engagement for smoother lifting and reduced vibration – which equates to less wear and a longer chain life. Zinc plated chain to protect from environmental conditions.
Easy Access Control Panel
With finger-safe wiring and plug and play connectors, the Control Panel allows for quick voltage change, access to terminal strips and simple fuse installation.
Exceeds H4 Requirements
Engineered for high duty cycles and the toughest applications. The New Lodestar design is rated at H4 plus. It consistently exceeds the H4 duty rating of the Classic Lodestar models.
Eco-Friendly
Lifetime grease-lubricated Gear Box means no changing and disposing of hazardous oil. Documented RoHS compliance. Shipped in boxes made of recycled material.
Quieter Operation
70 dB 5 pocket lift wheel, coated steel chain guides, all helical gearing and DC electric brake produces an operating noise of approx. 70 dB for a Model L 1 ton. Results in an 85% reduction in sound pressure as compared to the Classic Lodestar.
Dual Certified: CSA/US Certified – Standard
All models are dual certified. This rating will qualify as an NRTL mark for the hoist and there will no longer be separate models for the US and Canadian market.
