*Please note that if a Lodestar is supplied with a chain collector bag, then the hoist's upper limit switch is preset to achieve a maximum raised hook height equal to the bottom of the chain container, to avoid load interference with the chain container.
As you may or may not know, CM, Columbus McKinnon, or the Columbus McKinnon Corporation (CMCO), to give the giant its full name, also owns and operates other world-renowned industry-leading brands, such as Yale and Stahl. Because of this, if the CM Lodestar isn't for you, or doesn't quite fit your needs, then you can have peace of mind knowing that there may be a Yale electric hoist or a Stahl electric hoist that still comes from the CMCO brand that does meet your requirements.
