Features & Benefits

SPECIFICATIONS:

The Hoist's ambient temperature range for optimal performance at the H4 duty cycle is 0º f (-17ºc) to 104º f (40ºc). Operation is permissible up to 150°F (65°C) when running at a reduced Duty Cycle; the frequency of Hoist operation must be limited to avoid overheating of motor. Special provisions should be made to ventilate the space and/or shield the Hoist from radiation. Condition and operation of the Hoist should be monitored to avoid damages and injury when operating above 104°F (40°C). Reference the Hoist's Operation and Maintenance Manual. Contact factory for requests below 0°F (-17°C).

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

LESS MAINTENANCE and EASIER INSPECTION

  • Heavy Duty DC Brake is designed for a long service life. Brake location allows for quick access and easy inspection.
  • Lifetime grease-lubricated Gear Box means no oil change out is required. Precision gears provide better wear and longer life.
  • Clutch located outside the Gear Box allows for easy access which eliminates the need for complete disassembly and reduces downtime.

 

IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY
Easy access to the Clutch, Motor, Electrical Control Panel and Brake Assembly.

LONGER SERVICE LIFE
Lifetime grease-lubricated Gear Box and helical gearing ensures efficient operation. Heavy duty rated motors. Hoist workmanship backed by a lifetime warranty.

QUIETER OPERATION
80% reduction in sound pressure as compared to the classic Lodestar.

IMPROVED LOAD SAFETY
Clutch is located outside the load path which prevents slipping of the load in an overload condition when brake is not powered.

IMPROVED CHAIN LIFE

  • 5-Pocket Lift Wheel provides better chain and lift wheel engagement for smoother lifting and reduced vibration which equates to less wear and a longer chain life.
  • Load Chain is designed and manufactured in the USA by Columbus McKinnon. Star Grade chain is zinc plated to protect against corrosion. 2-ton, single-reeved units feature 10 mm load chain as standard.

 

EASY ACCESS CONTROL PANEL
 With finger-safe wiring and plug and play connectors, the Control Panel allows for quick voltage change (except Lodestar VS), access to terminal strips and simple fuse installation.
