Chain Containers for CM Lodestar XL Hoists
For decades, workers in automotive plants, heavy equipment manufacturing, chemical plants and paper mills have relied on CM brand products for their dependability and versatility. That continues with their expanded line of Lodestar XL chain hoists. These heavy-duty electric and air chain hoists are capable of lifting from 2 to 7 ½ tons and feature faster speeds, less reeving and higher capacities than traditional chain hoists.
Chain hoist containers are recommended for use with these hoists. They keep the tail chain from looping or fouling the load. The CM hoist part number 5242 is a 20-inch hoist chain container that can be used with either the CM Lodestar XL or Air XL chain hoists. When using a chain container like CM Part 5242, the hoist must be lug suspended and cross mounted.
