CM Lodestar stands as a cornerstone in the entertainment rigging industry, renowned for its durable and high-performance electric chain hoists. These units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of live events, theatrical productions, and touring, providing reliable lifting solutions for stages, lighting rigs, and scenic elements. The Lodestar D8 and D8+ models offer varying levels of safety and functionality, with the D8+ designed for applications requiring suspension without secondary support, meeting SR2.0 requirements. Capacities range from 226kg Prostar hoists for lightweight applications up to 2000kg for heavy-duty requirements, including models with double brakes and double chains for enhanced security. Beyond the core hoists, the CM Lodestar range includes essential accessories such as robust chain bags and hand controllers, often referred to as 'pickles,' which provide precise control over motor movements. Innovations like the lightweight StageStar D8+ and the portable, battery-powered BatteryStar cater to specific operational needs, offering versatility and ease of deployment for technicians on the go. The CM Hurricane 360° hand chain hoist further expands the utility, allowing for flexible load positioning in challenging environments.
