CM 2-TON SINGLE-REEVED LODESTAR
The CM® entertainment Lodestar® is now available as an economical 2-ton, single-reeved unit that’s ideal for a variety of lifting applications. And, because it’s a single-reeved unit, overall weight is decreased, making it easier to transport and rig compared to a traditional double-reeved unit.
BENEFITS & FEATURES
IP 66 RATING: An Ingress Protection (IP) Rating of 66 indicates that the Lodestar offers protection from dust and high-pressure water – making this unit ideal for use in outdoor environments.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPOSITE CORD GRIPS: Prevent water from entering the motor body at the pendant and power cord points of entry.
CONTINUOUS GASKETS: Create a waterproof seal between the gearbox assembly and the back frame and motor covers.
O-RINGS ON LIFT WHEEL BEARING: Prevent water from entering the motor body through the lift wheel opening.
EASY TO TRANSPORT & RIG: With less chain than double-reeved units, the 2-ton, single-reeved Lodestar is lighter, making it easier to transport and rig.
ZINC PLATED LOAD CHAIN: Designed and manufactured in the USA by Columbus McKinnon, our 10 millimeter, zinc-plated Star Grade load chain protects against corrosion.
IMPROVED CHAIN LIFE: 5-pocket lift wheel provides better chain and lift wheel engagement for smoother lifting and reduced vibration, equating to less wear and a longer chain life.
LESS MAINTENANCE & EASIER INSPECTION
- Brake location allows for quick access and easy inspection.
- Lifetime grease-lubricated gear box means no oil change is required.
- Clutch located outside the gear box allows for easy access, which eliminates the need for complete disassembly and reduces downtime.
