CM Lodestar Model A-2 | 150 lb High-Precision Electric Chain Hoist

OVERVIEW

The CM Lodestar Model A-2 (150 lb Edition) is a specialized, high-speed lifting solution engineered for precision industrial environments. While most Lodestar Model A units are rated for 250 lbs, this specific 150 lb (68 kg) variant is optimized for high-duty cycle applications that require an increased safety factor and surgical accuracy. It is the premier choice for electronics assembly, laboratory use, and light-duty material handling where load control is critical.

KEY FEATURES

• DUAL-SPEED PRECISION: Features a 10 FPM low speed for delicate "creep" positioning and a 32 FPM high speed for rapid throughput. This dual-speed motor allows operators to handle fragile loads without the risk of abrupt starts or stops.
• ENHANCED SAFETY MARGIN: By utilizing a chassis typically rated for higher loads, this 150 lb unit offers superior drivetrain longevity and reduced stress on the braking system, ensuring maximum reliability under constant use.
• HEAVY-DUTY DC BRAKE: Equipped with a dedicated DC magnetic brake designed for instantaneous stopping and long-term durability. The brake is located for easy external inspection without a full teardown.
• LIFETIME LUBRICATION: The gear train is permanently lubricated with non-oxidizing grease. This leak-proof design is ideal for clean environments where oil drips are prohibited.
• 5-POCKET LIFT WHEEL: Precision-machined wheel ensures smoother chain engagement, which reduces vibration and significantly extends the life of the load chain.
• NEMA 3R RATED: Housed in a lightweight, rugged aluminum frame with an acid-resistant powder coating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial service.
