Lodestar®
The Columbus McKinnon Lodestar chain hoist has been designed
for entertainment industry rigging operations. This allows
the hoist to either climb its chain or be mounted in an upright
configuration.
A range of standard operating and safety features, together
with ease of maintenance, make this the market leading chain
hoist for entertainment industry applications in the World.
General
- Proven over the years and designed for years of rough
handling, Lodestars have supported millions of events throughout
the World
- Black powder coated finish, low visibility and durability
- The Lodestar has been designed for quick disassembly
using simple hand tools
- Repair parts available, regardless of when the hoist
was made
- Distinctive shape prevents fouling of the hoist frame
during moves
- Non-adjustable Lodestar protector prevents over loading
- Adjustable screw limit switches give you the ability
to preset stopping points
- Industrial rated for a minimum of 30 minutes duty
- Extensive range of speeds and load capacities
Electrical
- 115v control circuits allow for control runs in excess
of 300 m
- Operates on 380- 460 v or 200-230 v, 3 ph, 50-60 hz Can
operate on any voltage in the world. Quick change plugs
prevent improper voltage connections that can cause damage
to the hoist
- Voltage tolerant- will operate with a voltage drop of
up to 10%
- Finger safe wiring
- Failsafe!
- The hoist is configured so that if you lose power on
L1, the transformer loses power; that in turn shuts the
reversing contactor off but then sets the brake
- If you lose power to L2, the brake loses power which
causes it to set
- If you lose power to L3 the transformer and brake lose
power, which in turn shuts the brake down
Brake & motor
- Heavy-duty brake independent of hoist motor; eliminates
heat build up and holds load securely. The brake automatically
sets in the event of a power failure
- Motor torque rating of 350% of rated load; the motor
can never drive through the brake which is rated for 375%
torque- failsafe
Design
- Gears have lifetime grease lubrication. Heavy duty industrial
design, machined from forged steel, heat treated for extremely
long life, with ball bearing supports and simple two stage
reduction. Lodestars dont drip oil
- Fully machined and heat treated alloy steel load chain
wheel
- The load chain is zinc plated for chain for corrosion
protection and has a 7:1 safety factor. Black chain also
available
- Two piece formed heat treated alloy steel chain guides
which totally encase the chain and ensure smooth entry
to the load wheel
- Supplied ready for use, fully prepared and tested with
lifting handles and Cee connectors fitted
 Options
- Double Brakes
Lodestars can be supplied with double brakes each brake
can sustain the full load, this gives added safety in
critical applications, either to new hoists or retro
fitted to existing stock, double DC brakes have a 50-
millisecond delay between first and second brake for
reduced stress loading during operation and easy identification
of any problems with the first brake. Designed to easily
isolate brakes for individual inspection
- Latchlok hooks
can be fitted to the body or chain hook, these are designed
to retain slings etc under slack conditions. Hook remains
locked until it is released by the operator. One handed
push button release for smooth and dependable opening
