CM Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist with Push Trolley 250kg–3t WLL (110v/240v/400v)

Description

The CM Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist with manual push travel trolley delivers the same legendary Lodestar reliability combined with smooth horizontal load movement. Designed for professional industrial environments, this trolley-mounted electric hoist is widely trusted across manufacturing, hire, warehousing and maintenance operations.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the Lodestar range has built a reputation as one of the most durable electric chain hoists available. This manual push trolley version allows operators to easily position loads along a beam, making it ideal for applications requiring both vertical lifting and manual horizontal travel.

Built for demanding duty cycles, the hoist features a robust yet lightweight aluminium alloy housing that fully encloses internal components. This design protects against site conditions while ensuring efficient heat dissipation during prolonged use. With a FEM 2m (40% duty) classification, the Lodestar is suitable for frequent and intensive lifting operations.

The manual push trolley is designed for smooth beam travel and precise load positioning. It fits a wide range of beam flange widths, providing flexible installation across workshops and industrial facilities. The combined system offers excellent headroom and compact dimensions, making it well suited to space-restricted environments.

Operator safety is enhanced through the standard 48V low-voltage control system and IP65-rated pendant. Adjustable upper and lower limit switches help prevent over-travel, while built-in thermal overload protection safeguards the motor during heavy use.

The lifetime-lubricated gearbox significantly reduces maintenance requirements and contributes to the hoist’s long service life. The load hook with axial bearing ensures secure load handling and reduced hook wear during operation.

Available ex-stock in 110V single phase, 230V single phase and 400V three phase, this CM Lodestar hoist with manual trolley provides a versatile lifting solution for UK industrial users.
