BatteryStar Hoist by CM

The BatteryStar hoist offers true variable speed, ensuring precise lifting for any application. Powered by a Milwaukee Tool® M18™ battery, this hoist is perfect for temporary applications or areas where electricity is unavailable or hard to reach. With lifting speeds up to 8 FPM, the BatteryStar significantly boosts operator efficiency by up to 4x compared to manual hoists, while also reducing operator effort and fatigue.

This hoist can be used in either a typical mounting orientation with the hoist body attached to the anchor point or inverted. Inverted operation eliminates the need to carry the weight of the hoist up to the anchor point—just carry the hook up and let the hoist lift itself and the load. Weighing less than 50 lbs. with 20 feet of chain included, the BatteryStar is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport within a facility or to a job site.

Optional road/carrying cases are available for added convenience. The BatteryStar hoist comes with a 5-year warranty from Columbus McKinnon and a 3-year battery warranty from Milwaukee Tool®. It is FEM 1Cm rated and third-party certified to meet UL and CSA requirements. A chain bag is provided as standard. Contact us for details.
