Have you ever been in a situation that’s required the speed and strength of an electric chain hoist, but the portability and convenience of a hand chain hoist? Well, Columbus McKinnon have solved this problem with the introduction of the CM BatteryStar™ Battery Powered Chain Hoist.
A first-of-a-kind, the CM BatteryStar™ is jam-packed with innovative features, bringing new capabilities to the world of lifting. So whether you need to lift materials on a building site or position components for a new crane installation, this battery powered chain hoist is the perfect introduction to any environment where mains power isn’t a viable option - easily lifting up to 1000kgs (1 Tonne).
IN A NUTSHELL
The CM BatteryStar™ is equipped with a host of unique feature including:
- 1000kg capacity
- 6m height of lift
- 2.4m/min lifting speed
- Powerless operation with a Milwaukee Tool™ M18™ battery
- Portable design weighing only 19.8kg
- Standard or inverted operation
- Safe mechanical brake
- Wireless remote for improved safety
- Built-in intelligence on remote with overcapacity, low battery and inspection reminders
THE BREAKDOWN
Portability & Versatility
Weighing in at a slender 26kg – when 6m of chain is included – the BatteryStar Chain Hoist still packs a punch, capable of handling loads of up to 1000kg. The compact and lightweight profile allows this chain hoist to be easily transferred from location to location with a breeze.
Additionally, this battered powered hoist is easily installed, and can be used in either with the hoist body attached to the anchor point or inverted, with inverted operation eliminating the need to manually carry the weight of the hoist up to the anchorage. Simply carry the hook up to the anchor and let the hoist for the work, lifting itself and the load together.
No Electricity Required
The CM BatteryStar Chain Hoist operates on a reliable Milwaukee Tool brand M18 battery, eliminating the need for any mains power source. This also eliminates unnecessary hard-wired cables creating a trip or electrical hazard, also allowing you to hoist in previously difficult spaces.
The Milwaukee battery enables this hoist battery powered model to achieve lifting speeds of up to 2.4m/min, increasing operator efficiency by as much as 4 times, when compared to the output of a traditional chain block.
The Only Battery You Need
Furthermore, the Milwaukee M18 battery can work with more than 250 of the brands other tooling products, meaning you have to carry less gear with you on your next job. The unique patented design protects every REDLITHIUM battery, protecting it from weather exposure and harsh environments – ensuring you get complete bang for buck on your investment.
This hoist includes Milwaukee Tool ONE-KEY™ that allows you to:
- Connect you hoist and other smart tools to your job site for easy asset management and tracking
- Access to equipment information from your computer or smartphone with an easy-to-use app and interface
- Inspection interval feature to set reminders and store records of hoist inspections
To utilise this feature, simply download the ONE-KEY™ app from the App Store or Google Play on your smart device and follow the instructions.
Pushing the Boundaries of Technology
The CM BatteryStar™ features a patent-pending brake system, with the mechanical brake automatically activating when lowering your load, significantly improving safety. Brake inspection windows on the top and bottom of the hoist allow operators to easily check brake wear, facilitating preventative maintenance, helping you save money in the long term.
Durable & Reliable
Featuring an electronic clutch and secondary mechanical clutch, the BatteryStar™ is given dual protection from overload. An integrated limit switch for the highest and lowest hook position considerably extends the service life of the slip clutch, motor, and gearbox.
All electronics are IP 55 rated.
Long Life Cycles
In order to extend the life span of this battery-powered hoist, it features a rigged composite cover designed for the highest durability in harsh conditions. The addition of a brushless DC motor also extends its lifecycle, while the zinc-plated load chain adds a layer of protection against corrosion.
Safety & Efficiency at a Distance
The remote control allows for true variable speed. Basically, the further you push the button, the faster the speed (up to 2.4m/min), this allows users to accurately position the load.
Considering your safety, the wireless remote allows users to keep a safe distance of up to 20m from the hoist, whilst still maintaining optimal efficiency.
Th remote also features built-in intelligence, alerting operators with light up icons if the hoist is overcapacity, has a low battery life, is over-temperature, or is due an inspection.
Fitted with a standard stop button to easily disable the remote, the rugged remote is IP55 rated. It is also FR certified and comes with a lanyard and belt clip to protect from dropping.
Finally, the remote is easy to connect with a light to show connection progress, and the hoist makes an audible sound when connection is complete.
Best of The Rest
To round of the amazing features you get by investing in a CM BatteryStar™ Chain Hoist, your hoist is also both FEM 1Cm rated and EC Conforming, and you also get a chain bag, that tilts automatically in the case of inverted operation, provided as standard.
