LiftingSafety Review:

The Yale lodestar (sometimes spelt slightly differently, as loadstar) is manufactured by CM (Columbus McKinnon) and is a very top-level, truly excellent quality single-phase or three-phase electric hoist with thousands of hoists being supplied over decades. The lodestar range is supplied in the UK  to suit either single-phase 110V or 230V, 3-phase 400/415V power supplies and is available with lifting capacities starting from 250kg incrementally increasing up to 3000kg. As standard, a Lodestar would be supplied with a top hook suspension point, but can also be supplied with a push/pull, geared travel or electric beam trolley; when supplied fitted to an electric trolley, the hoist will only have a single pendant control to control both the trolley and the Lodestar hoist, rather than one for the hoist and one for the trolley, it can however be supplied in this way, if required, for example, in those instances where you might want to use the Lodestar on a beam for one job, but then hooked in to a beam clamp for the next. Overall, the Lodestar is a very robust hoist that was built with the hire industry in mind, where it continues to remain a powerhouse.
