CM BatteryStar – Cordless Electric Hoist Hire

The CM BatteryStar combines the lifting power and speed of an electric chain hoist with the portability of a manual unit — making it ideal for sites where power isn’t available.

Powered by a Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery, it delivers reliable heavy-duty performance using the same battery platform widely used on construction sites. Simply secure to a suitable anchor point, insert the battery, and you’re ready to lift within minutes.

Controlled via a wireless remote, the operator remains safely out of the load path, with built-in overload and inspection alerts providing added protection.

Perfect for construction projects, maintenance work, events, and temporary installations where quick setup and cordless operation are essential.

Available for short- and long-term hire. Contact us for availability and capacity options.

Features

  • Operates on battery power making it ideal for applications or areas where electricity is unavailable or difficult to reach.
  • Provides lifting speeds up to 2.4 m/min, helping increase operator efficiency as much as 4x compared to using a manual hoist.
  • Hoist can be used either 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.
  • The mechanical brake automatically activates when lowering the load, providing safe operation.
  • Brake inspection windows on the top and bottom of the hoist allow operators to easily check brake wear, helping to facilitate preventative maintenance.
  • Electronics are IP55 rated.
  • Brushless DC motor for extended hoist life.
  • Zinc-plated load chain for protection against corrosion.
