Manufacturer's data, CM Lodestar single phase electric chain hoist. Other capacities available on request — ask us about lead times.
The CM Lodestar range covers 250kg, 500kg, 1 tonne, 2 tonne and 3 tonne capacities. Our hire fleet's flagship unit is the 2 tonne model — tell us your load and lift height and we'll confirm the right one.
The Lodestar hoists we hire are single phase, so they'll run off a standard site power outlet — no three-phase supply needed.
Overload protection, an adjustable screw limit switch that stops the hook at a set point when lifting or lowering, a heavy-duty DC brake, and a clutch positioned outside the load path so the load can't slip if the brake loses power.
The hoist comes with its pendant control station, fabric chain container and rigid hook suspension as standard. Just tell us your mounting arrangement (beam trolley, lifting beam, etc.) and we'll make sure you've got everything needed on site.
Yes — we deliver and pick up across Sydney and NSW, same as the rest of our fleet. Call 0450 133 133 for same-day or next-day availability.
Not quite — a chain block is manually operated by pulling a hand chain, while an electric chain hoist (what we hire) lifts and lowers at the push of a button. Both get called "chain hoist hire" generically, but ours is the powered version.
