Features and Benefits

• Better control on long lifts: Smooth, slow speed starts and stops, fast speed for load transition.
• Variable frequency drive (VFD) option is also available on the Lodestar.
• Precision machined and hardened liftwheel: Exact fit of chain in liftwheel provides smoother operation and reduces chain vibration.

Rugged design to withstand the application and environment.

• Heavy duty motor: H4 duty rating provides ability to lift equipment over 300 feet without interruption.
• Dual Braking system: Uses an AC type brake and electrodynamic brake. Electro- dynamic braking eliminates heat generated by typical designs. Reduces maintenance, changing of oil, and wear on parts.
• Zinc-plated chain: protects chain and prevents corrosion.

Reduce hoist maintenance costs

• Grease Lubrication:Eliminates the need to drain and change the oil which is required every 200 hours in most other hoists designs. Provides
• Superior gear protection.
• Lifetime lubricated.
• No special tools required to disassemble:Quick and easy hoist inspections and maintenance.
• Readily available hoist parts:Readily available parts from authorized distributors reduces downtime.
• Lifetime Warranty: Superior hoist design.

Safety

• Overload protection: Prevents lifting more than rated capacity protecting operators and equipment.
• Training: Safety, inspection, and proper hoist and rigging technique classes available.
• Lower hook impact protection: Prevents tower damage from load hook during no load lifting and lowering.
