Our new internal load cell technology, available on the CM-ET family of Lodestar hoists, gives you the power to recognize safety issues before they occur, especially in automation applications where hoists are used in tandem.

Features & Benefits

Taking Safety In Automation To The Highest Level

When it comes to safety in the entertainment industry, Columbus McKinnon is committed to developing products that keep riggers, performers and event goers safe.

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Unlike the competition, CM-ETs load cell technology is built right into the hoist, protecting it from damage and wear. Headroom and dimensions of the hoist remain the same as the standard offering, eliminating the need for new road cases.

ACCURATE and RELIABLE
Internal load cell provides accuracy of ± 2% FSO (full scale output).

VERSATILE CONNECTIVITY
Easily connects to existing controllers in the field, regardless of make or manufacturer, via internally mounted circuit board assembly (CBA) designed to prevent wiring mistakes.

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Fully field tested by entertainment-industry professionals.
