VARIABLE  SPEED ELECTRIC CHAIN HOIST WITH

OPTION

GENERAL INFORMATION

SPECIFICATIONS 

The Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist is a highly versatile materials 

handling device that can be used to lift loads that are within rated 

capacity. The mechanical features of these hoists include an 

alloy steel liftwheel, Load Limiter, hardened steel chain guides, 

hardened steel gear train, lifetime lubrication, forged steel hooks 

and lightweight aluminum frame. The electrical features include 

hoist-duty motor, rugged hoist brake, variable frequency drive and 

electronic brake contoller circuit. The hoist is available with hook or 

lug suspensions that are supplied separately. Table 1 summarizes 

the Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist models.

CM REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY

All Columbus McKinnon (CM

®

) Lodestar Electric Chain Hoists are 

inspected and performance-tested prior to shipment. If any properly 

maintained hoist develops a performance problem due to a material 

or workmanship defect, as verified by CM

®

, repair or replacement of 

the unit will be made to the original purchaser without charge. This 

repair/replacement policy applies only to Lodestar Hoists installed, 

maintained and operated as outlined in this manual, and specifically 

excludes parts subject to normal wear, abuse, improper installation, 

improper or inadequate maintenance, hostile environmental effects 

and unauthorized repairs/modifications. 

We reserve the right to change materials or design if, in our opinion, 

such changes will improve our product. Abuse, repair by an 

unauthorized person, or use of non-CM replacement parts voids 

the guarantee and could lead to dangerous operation. For full 

Terms of Sale, see Sales Order Acknowledgement. Also, refer to 

page 39 for Limitations of Warranties, Remedies and Damages, and 

Indemnification and Safe Operation.
