Lodestar® Direct Control
The Direct Control Lodestar is a lower cost hoist from CM.
It operates with a power cable only. The hoists are compatible
with most existing direct control hoist controllers.
The non-adjustable Lodestar protector prevents overloading
and acts as a travel limiting device. The chain hook and
a chain stop on the load chain prevent over-travel.
The hoists are the same size as standard Lodestars and standard
Lodestar flight cases can be used.
Suitable for upright and climbing use.
