Description
The CM Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist with fixed hook suspension is a proven industry leader for high-duty industrial lifting. Engineered in the USA and trusted worldwide, the Lodestar is widely recognised in the hire, manufacturing and production sectors as the go-to solution where reliability, durability and long heights of lift are critical.
Designed for tough environments, this professional electric chain hoist combines robust construction with excellent thermal performance. The tough yet lightweight aluminium alloy housing fully encloses mechanical and electrical components, delivering superior protection while promoting efficient heat dissipation during continuous operation.
With lifting capacities ranging from 250kg to 3000kg, the Lodestar fixed suspension hoist is suitable for a broad range of industrial lifting tasks—from workshop material handling to production line support. Its FEM 2m duty classification (40% duty cycle) ensures dependable performance in frequent-use applications.
The unit is supplied with adjustable upper and lower limit switches as standard, helping protect both operator and equipment during lifting operations. The IP65 rated 48V low-voltage pendant control enhances operator safety while providing precise load control.
Maintenance requirements are minimal thanks to the lifetime-lubricated gearbox and accessible service design. The hoist’s excellent closed height also makes it particularly suitable where headroom is limited.
Available ex-stock in 110V single phase, 230V single phase and 400V three phase configurations, the CM Lodestar offers exceptional flexibility for UK industrial environments.
