Lodestar XL Electric Chain Hoist

The LODESTAR XL has been designed to meet severe to extreme conditions. Features include a forged 10-pocket oblique lay liftwheel and 7/16" diameter case hardened load chain which significantly increases chain life; also an overload protector, and case hardened gears that operate in an oil bath. Hoist meets H-4 duty requirements, and has a thermally protected hoist motor, heavy duty hoist brake and regenerative braking. Meets or exceeds ANSI B30.16 requirements. All the above contribute to an extremely rugged, durable, dependable hoist which has become synonymous with the name “CM LODESTAR.”
