Description

1 Tonne Working Load Limit (WLL) for Heavy-Duty Lifting

The CM BatteryStar Battery Powered Chain Hoist (1 Tonne WLL) is an advanced, portable lifting solution designed for maximum flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use in environments where traditional power sources are unavailable or impractical. Powered by a Milwaukee Tool M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery, this innovative hoist eliminates the need for mains electricity, making it ideal for temporary installations, remote job sites, maintenance tasks, and mobile lifting applications.

Cordless Operation for Remote and Off-Grid Applications

Engineered with industry-leading technology, the BatteryStar hoist is designed for rapid deployment. Simply attach the hoist to a suitable anchor point, insert a charged battery, and begin lifting within minutes. This plug-and-play functionality significantly reduces setup time and improves operational efficiency on site.

Efficient Lifting Speeds to Reduce Operator Fatigue

With a lifting capacity of 1 tonne and a standard lift height of 20 ft (with options up to 60 ft), the hoist delivers reliable performance across a wide range of applications. A lifting speed of up to 8 feet per minute ensures efficient load handling while reducing operator fatigue compared to manual hoists.

Lightweight Design for Easy Transport and Positioning

The BatteryStar is built for portability, weighing under 50 lbs with standard chain, allowing it to be easily transported around a facility or between job sites. Its versatile design supports both standard and inverted operation, enabling users to position the hoist more efficiently—particularly useful when working at height, as the hoist can lift itself into position.

Wireless Remote Control with Variable Speed Functionality

Precision control is achieved through a wireless remote system, allowing operators to control lifting speed with variable input. The remote enables safe operation from distances of over 60 ft and includes intelligent feedback indicators for overload, low battery, and maintenance alerts.

Dual Overload Protection with Electronic and Mechanical Clutches

Safety and durability are central to the design. The hoist features dual overload protection via an electronic clutch and secondary mechanical clutch, along with an integrated limit switch to prevent over-travel of the hook. A patent-pending mechanical braking system ensures controlled load lowering and secure positioning.

Durable Construction with Brushless Motor and IP55 Rating

Constructed for long service life, the BatteryStar includes a rugged composite housing, a brushless DC motor for reduced wear, and a zinc-plated load chain for corrosion resistance. The hoist and remote electronics are rated to IP55, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress in demanding environments.

Supplied with Chain Bag and Backed by 5-Year Warranty

Supplied with a chain bag as standard and backed by a 5-year hoist warranty, the CM BatteryStar represents a highly efficient, safe, and modern lifting solution for industrial, maintenance, and construction applications.
