VARIABLE  SPEED ELECTRIC CHAIN HOIST WITH

OPTION

SERIES 635 MOTOR DRIVEN TROLLEY 

The motor driven trolleys (see Figure 4) are self-contained and 

supplied complete with independent controls and wiring, including a 

four-directional control station. A rigid lug suspension is required to 

suspend the hoist from the Motor Driven Trolley. The hoist and trolley 

are joined electrically by connecting the hoist control and power 

cords (supplied) into the hoist or trolley. The trolley is adjustable for 

operation on a range of American Standard “S” beams. It will also 

operate on flat flanged beams.

CM UNIVERSAL (UT) TROLLEY

The CM Universal Trolley (UT) is designed to fit virtually all Columbus 

McKinnon powered chain hoists up to 3-tonne capacities. The 

rugged UT is available as a convertible plain unit, a geared unit ideal 

for precise hoist positioning, and a motorized unit that’s perfect for 

applications requiring high-cycling and long-distance hoist travel.

ROCKET™ UNIVERSAL PENDANT 

CONTROL

The CM Rocket Pendant Control is engineered for maximum 

operator comfort, while delivering the precision control your 

application demands. 

INTELLI-CONNECT™

Optional Intelli-Connect

 enables quick and easy programming, 

maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the Lodestar – all 

from a tablet or smartphone. And, it works wirelessly, so you don’t 

need to attach a programming cable to access information. 

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING INFORMATION

When received, the hoist should be carefully inspected for damage 

that may have occurred during shipment or handling. Check the 

hoist frame for dents or cracks, the external cords for damaged or 

cut insulation, the control station for cut or damaged enclosure, and 

inspect the load chain for nicks and gouges. If shipping damage has 

occurred, refer to the packing list envelope on the carton for claim 

procedure. 

Before installing the hoist, make sure that the power supply to which 

it will be connected is the same as that shown on the nameplate 

located on the side of the hoist. 

NOTE: See Electrical Installation instructions.

INSTALLING THE SUSPENSION

A. Single-Reeved Units: 

Remove the hook suspension and (2) suspension screws from the 

packaging. Place the suspension assembly into the recess on top of 

the hoist so that the adapter body follows the contour of the hoist. 

Insert the suspension screws through the holes in the adapter and 

hand-thread these into the self-locking nuts enclosed in the hoist.

Securely tighten the screws to the recommended seating torque (see 

Table 13) using a 12-point socket: 3/8” for Models A, AA, B, C & F 

and 1/2 for models J & L.

Use of impact tools (electric or pneumatic) may cause premature 

failure of attaching hardware.

B. Double-Reeved Units: 

Remove the hook suspension, (2) suspension screws, (1) dead end 

pin, (1) washer, and (1) cotter pin from the packaging. Note that the 

suspension includes a dead end bolt and block for supporting the 

dead end of the load chain as shown in Figure 7. 

Place the suspension assembly into the recess on top of the hoist. 

The dead end block should project through the bottom of the hoist 

with the pin hole and slot aligned to the underside of the hoist as 

shown in Figure 8. If these are not aligned as shown, lift the head of 

the bolt from the hex recess in the adapter, turn the bolt and block 

assembly, and reseat the bolt head to obtain the proper alignment. 

Do not change the position of the dead end block on the bolt to 

attain this alignment. 

Check the position of the pin hole in the dead end block to make 

sure it has not been disturbed from its factory setting. The distance 

from the top of the pin hole to the bottom of the hoist should not 

exceed 1/4” (6.35 mm) for Models E & H and 7/16” (11.11 mm) for 

Model R. If the distance is not correct, adjust the position of the 

dead end block to obtain the proper distance. 

Insert the suspension screws through the holes in the adapter and 

hand-thread these into the self-locking nuts enclosed in the hoist 

frame. Securely tighten the screws to the recommended seating 

torque (see Table 13) using a 12-point socket: 3/8” for Models E & H 

and 1/2” for Model R.

Figure 7. Double-Reeved Suspension Assembly

C. Triple-Reeved Units: 

These hoists have a sheave hanger which is loosely connected to 

the top of the frame by a thin metal plate for shipping purposes. 

To attach the suspension, support the sheave hanger from the 

underside of the hoist and remove the nut and seat from the sheave 

stud. Remove and discard the shipping plate and retain the sheave 

stud nut and seat since they will be reused later. 

Remove the suspension assembly from the carton and the two 

suspension screws. Place the suspension assembly over the sheave 

stud and into the recess on top of the hoist. Insert the suspension 

screws through the holes in the suspension adapter and hand-thread 

these into the self-locking nut enclosed in the hoist. Securely tighten 

the screws to the recommended seating torque (see Table 13) using 

a 12-point, 1/2” socket. 

After the suspension assembly is installed, secure the sheave stud 

to the suspension adapter using the round slotted nut and seat that 

were formerly used to attach the shipping plate to top of the hoist 

frame. Place the seat over the stud with the flat side down and then 

rotate the seat so that there is clearance between the seat and the 

suspension lug or hook. Assemble the nut to the stud and turn the 

nut by hand until the nut seats in the seat and the sheave hanger 

is snug in the frame. Then back off the nut until the hole in the stud 

is in line with one of the slots in the nut. Using a hammer, drive the 

retaining pin (packed with the suspension assembly) into the hole  

in the sheave stud until the end of the pin is flush with the edge of 

the nut.

Using other than CM-supplied high-strength suspension screws to 

attach the suspension adapter to the hoist may cause the screws 

to break and allow the hoist and load to fall.
