Description
CM BatteryStar Hoist
The CM BatteryStar Battery Powered Chain hoist is built with industry-leading technology from Columbus McKinnon and Milwaukee Tool. Designed for portability and easy installation, the BatteryStar can have you lifting in minutes – simply attach the hoist to an anchor point, slide in a battery, and you’re ready to go! Powered by an M18 Red Lithium Battery from Milwaukee Tool, the BatteryStar is built for heavy-duty lifting and uses the same M18™ battery you may already have on your job site for added convenience.
Battery is a Milwaukee M18 Fuel 12AH Batt PK – ROW M18 -HB13
Charger is a Milwaukee M18 Charger M12-18FC GB

- Capacity: 1 metric ton
- Available in 6m, 12m and 18m lift only
- Lift Speed: 8 feet per minute
- Bakery’s and chargers must be sourced from Milwaukee directly
No Electric Power Required
- Operates on battery power, specifically a Milwaukee Tool brand M18 battery, making it ideal for temporary applications or areas of a facility or job site where electricity is unavailable or difficult to reach.
- Provides lifting speeds up to 8 FPM, helping increase operator efficiency as much as 4x compared to using a manual hoist. Hoist also helps reduce operator effort and fatigue as compared to using a lever or hand chain hoist.
Versatile Operation
- Hoist can be used in either 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 to the anchor point and let the hoist lift itself and the load up.
Portability
- Weighing less than 50 lbs. when 20 feet of chain is included, the BatteryStar is compact and lightweight for easy portability within a facility or to a job site.
- Optional road/carrying cases available. Contact us for details.
Patent Pending Brake
- With a patent-pending design, the mechanical brake automatically applies itself when lowering the load, providing controlled descent and positioning.
- Brake inspection windows on the top and bottom of the hoist allow operators to easily check brake wear, helping to facilitate preventative maintenance.
Durability and Reliability
- Electronic clutch and secondary mechanical clutch provide dual protection from hoist overload.
- Integrated limit switch for the highest and lowest hook position considerably extends the service life of the slip clutch, motor, and gearbox.
- Electronics are IP55 rated.
Long Hoist and Chain Life
- Rugged composite hoist cover designed for durability in rough conditions.
- Brushless DC motor for extended hoist life.
- Zinc-plated load chain for protection against corrosion.
Safe, Remote Operation
The BatteryStar’s wireless remote keeps the operator safe and away from the load.
Additionally, the remote features built-in intelligence, alerting the operator with light-up icons if the hoist is overcapacity, has a low battery, or inspection is due
- Remote buttons allow for true variable speed – the further you push the button, the faster the lifting speed. This allows the operator to precisely position the load.
- Wireless remote keeps the operator safe and away from the load, allowing for operation from over 60 ft. away from the hoist.
- Remote features built-in intelligence, alerting the operator with light-up icons if the hoist is overcapacity, low battery, or hoist inspection is due.* See image to the left.
