- Yale CPS Lightweight Electric Chain Hoist
The Yale CPS electric chain hoist lifts loads up to 250kg on two falls, yet weighs only 14kg, or 125kg on a single fall of chain which weighs 12kg with a 3-metre height of lift.
With an M4 high-duty rating, the rugged CPS electric hoist keeps lifting and lifting - up to 240 motor starts per hour. It's easy to install and maintain making it ideal for jib and light crane systems.
The latest model CPS is the smallest and lightest within the family of Yale electric chain hoists. Reliability and compact design make it ideal for numerous applications in the construction industry, service companies and many industrial areas for moving small and medium loads.
The CPS electric hoist is built to the highest standards (just like all Yale products) and offers unequalled levels of build quality and reliability. The one-year warranty, repair and full after-sales service will allow you to recommend the Yale CPS hoist line with confidence.
For higher lifting capacities or more optional features, we recommend taking a look at the Yale CPV, Yale CPE or the CM Lodestar electric hoist ranges.
Yale CPS Features and Benefits
- Easy installation and maintenance.
- IP54 as standard.
- 48v Control voltage.
- Overload protection device as standard.
- 10-pocket oblique-lay lift wheel for smooth chain operation, constant chain speed and reduced chain wear.
- Optional impact-resistant chain container.
- Gear train lifetime lubricated with non-oxidising grease.
- Alloy load chain for smooth operation and maximum life.
- Thermally protected hoist duty motor.
- Dual braking system - D.C. plus regenerative.
- Rugged cast aluminium alloy hoist frame.
- 5 : 1 factor of safety.
- Small, compact design for commercial applications that can easily fit in a tool bag.
- A rigid latch-style upper hook prevents the tangling of the power cord.
- The hardened forged steel latch-style lower hook rotates 360°.
- A totally enclosed non-ventilated hoist frame protects the motor from environmental contamination.
- True vertical lift.
- Precision bearings are used in the hoist.
- Designed and manufactured by Yale USA.
More Information
- Extremely low headroom.
- Electromagnetic spring pressure brake holds the load safely even in the event of power failure.
- Robust aluminium hoist housing, powder coated.
- Classification 1 Am resp. 1 Bm.
- As required the model CPS (with appropriate changes to lifting capacity resp. duty cycle) can also be graded up to higher classifications.
- Pendant control protected to IP 65 against ingression of dust and water.
- The case-hardened and zinc-plated load chain has been specially adapted to the load sheave to avoid wear and increase operating safety.
- In accordance with national and international standards.
- Forged top and bottom hooks made from age-resistant alloy steel. They open up in case of excessive load without fracture.
- The top hook does not rotate to prevent the power cables from twisting. The bottom hook can rotate 360°.
- Load Chain: 4 x 12.2mm
Optional Extras for the CPS
- Robust chain container.
- Stainless steel load chain (no reduction of working load limit).
- Festooned cable system.
- Manual and powered trolley with clevis or shackle to fit top hook suspended chain hoists.
- Contactor control 48v.

The Yale CPS range of electric chain hoists is the little brother to the lodestar hoists, little being the operative word as the 125kg version only weighs 12kg with a 3-metre lift height. If you are looking for a strongly built extremely lightweight and compact electric hoist this may well be the hoist for you. The CPS is made in the USA by Columbus McKinnon (CM) with the design of the US CM ShopStar hoist, but for the European market, under the Yale brand that also has a worldwide reputation for quality and reliability, as the Yale CPS; in our opinion, an excellent choice for industrial and commercial use.

Yale CPS Operating Manual
All users must read these operating instructions carefully prior to the initial operation. These instructions are intended to acquaint the user with the product and enable him to use it to the full extent of its intended capabilities. The operating instructions contain important information on how to handle the product in a safe, correct and economic way. Acting in accordance with these instructions helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair cost and down time and to increase the reliability and lifetime of the product. Apart from the operating instructions and the accident prevention act valid for the respective country and area where the product is used, also the commonly accepted regulations for safe and professional work must be adhered to. The sound level intensity in the operators working area is below 73 dB. The sound was measured during normal working conditions at a distance of one meter from the hoist at nine positions, precision class 2 according to DIN 45635.
