Extensive range of speeds and load capacities

Operates on 380/460v, 3ph, 50/60 Hz or 200/230v, 3ph, 50/60Hz - can operate on any voltage in the world.

Single phases hoists also available.

Supplied ready for use, fully prepared and tested by PCM.

Lifting handles and CeeForm connectors fitted.

Hoists are weatherproofed before despatch

Adjustable screw limits fitted as standard - for over travel protection.

Jam resistant chain guides.

CM hoistalloy chain with an 8:1 safety ratio for maximum strength and wear resistance.

Non adjustable Lodestar protector prevents lifting of overloads.

Heavy duty brake independent of hoist motor, eliminates heat build up and holds load securely.

Duty factor of 50%, allowing 30 minutes of continuous operation.

Grease lubricated - Lodestars don't drip!

Free first service/load test - includes visual inspection of hoist components and chain, plus load test on completion.

Test certificate provided. Service done between 10-14 months after supply date, to suit you.

Low running costs

Easy maintenance

Inexpensive spare parts

An electronic anti-phase protection system can be built into the hoist at no extra cost. This ensures that Lodestars from PCM are always correctly phased and therefore run in the correct direction, with the limits operating properly (European voltages only)

It is normally wired as a unit to detect mix-phasing. If the phasing is incorrect, the unit will not operate until the problem is resolved.

As an option, the anti-phase system can be wired in a way that allows Lodestars to operate on a single power cable, i.e. without control cable. The control circuit is still used, and the limits still operate.

This allows Lodestars to be used with Verlinde controllers.
