Features and Benefits

No Electric Power Required

Operates on battery power, specifically a Milwaukee Tool® brand M18™ battery, making it ideal for applications or areas where electricity is unavailable or difficult to reach.
Provides lifting speeds up to 2.4 m/min, helping increase operator efficiency as much as 4x compared to using a manual hoist.

Versatile Operation

Hoist can be used in either with the hoist body attached to the anchor point or inverted.
Inverted operation eliminates the need to carry the weight of the hoist up to the anchor point. Just carry the hook up to the anchor point and let the hoist lift itself and the load up.

Portability

Weighing less than 26 kg when 6 m of chain is included, the BatteryStar is compact and lightweight for easy portability.
Optional road/carrying cases available.

Patent-Pending Brake

With a patent-pending design, the mechanical brake automatically activates when lowering the load, providing safe operation.
Brake inspection windows on the top and bottom of the hoist allow operators to easily check brake wear, helping to facilitate preventative maintenance.

Durability & Reliability

Electronic clutch and secondary mechanical clutch provide dual protection from hoist overload.
Integrated limit switch for the highest and lowest hook position considerably extends the service life of the slip clutch, motor and gearbox.
Electronics are IP55 rated.

Long Hoist & Chain Life

Rugged composite hoist cover designed for durability in rough conditions.
Brushless DC motor for extended hoist life.
Zinc-plated load chain for protection against corrosion.

Safe, Remote Operation

Remote buttons allow for true variable speed – the further you push the button, the faster the lifting speed. This allows the operator to precisely position the load.
Wireless remote keeps the operator safe and away from the load, allowing for operation from over 20 m away from the hoist.
Remote features built-in intelligence, alerting the operator with light-up icons if the hoist is overcapacity, low battery, over-temperature or hoist inspection is due.
Rugged and durable, the remote is IP55 rated and can stand up to the harsh conditions of any worksite.
Remote is easy to connect. Features a light to show that connection is in progress, and the hoist makes an audible sound when connection is complete.
Standard stop button easily disables the remote.
Remote includes a lanyard to prevent the operator from dropping it during operation and a belt clip for easy portability.
RF-certified.
