Features and Benefits
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
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.
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.
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.
QUICK & EASY INSTALLATION
- Lightweight and portable, the BatteryStar can be easily attached to an anchor point, then you're ready to lift. No cords or power is required.
- Simply snap a charged battery into place, and the hoist is ready to operate.
DURABILITY & 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.
PRECISE LIFTING
- Hoist offers true variable speed, allowing for precise lifting in any application.
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.
SAFE, REMOTE OPERATION
- 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.
- Rugged and durable, the remote is IP55 rated and can stand up to the harsh conditions of any worksite.
- Remote is easy to connect. Features a light to show that connection is in progress, and the hoist makes an audible sound when connection is complete.
- Standard stop button easily disables the remote.
- Remote includes a lanyard to prevent the operator from dropping it during operation and a belt clip for easy portability.
- RF-certified.
