Why Choose This Product?

The CM BatteryStar Hoist combines the lifting capability of a powered chain hoist with the portability of a battery-operated tool. It is designed for temporary applications and locations where electrical power is unavailable or difficult to access.

Its cordless design can also reduce the physical effort associated with manual chain or lever hoists. CM states that the BatteryStar can increase operator efficiency by as much as 4x compared with a manual hoist in applicable lifting tasks. 

Who Is This Product For?

Ideal for: Maintenance teams, construction crews, fire and rescue professionals, low-volume production environments, utility applications and entertainment production teams that need portable powered lifting.

Important: The BatteryStar is rated for 1 metric ton capacity. Always use the hoist according to the manufacturer's operating instructions and application requirements.


Quick Installation and Portable Operation

The CM BatteryStar is designed for fast setup. Attach the hoist to a suitable anchor point, install a charged M18™ battery and the unit is ready for lifting. The hoist can be used in a standard mounting orientation or inverted, allowing the hook to be positioned at the anchor point before the hoist lifts itself into place. 

No Electrical Power Required

The BatteryStar operates from a Milwaukee Tool® M18™ Red Lithium battery, making it suitable for temporary work and locations where conventional electrical power is unavailable or difficult to reach. A 12.0 Ah battery can provide up to 180 ft of hook travel at a 1-ton load under the stated test conditions. 

Precise Lifting with Wireless Remote

The wireless remote provides true variable-speed control, allowing the operator to adjust lifting speed based on how far the control button is pressed. The remote can operate from more than 60 ft away, helping keep the operator away from the load path. 

Built-In Brake Inspection

The BatteryStar features brake inspection windows that allow operators to check for brake dust buildup. This design supports easier inspection of the mechanical brake during routine equipment checks.

Durability and Overload Protection

The CM BatteryStar Hoist uses an electronic clutch and a secondary mechanical clutch for dual overload protection. Integrated upper and lower limit switches help protect the slip clutch, motor and gearbox by controlling the highest and lowest hook positions. 

Battery and Smart Tool Connectivity

The BatteryStar is designed around Milwaukee Tool® M18™ batteries. The M18™ platform is used across more than 250 Milwaukee Tool® products, allowing compatible batteries to be shared across supported tools. The hoist also includes Milwaukee Tool® ONE-KEY™ functionality for equipment management and inspection tracking. 

BatteryStar vs. Manual Hoist

Compared with manual hoisting, the BatteryStar provides powered lifting at up to 8 FPM while reducing the physical effort required from the operator. CM states that the system can increase operator efficiency by as much as 4x in applicable comparisons. 

Available Configurations

The BatteryStar is available with rigid or swivel hook suspension, standard 20 ft lift and configured lift options from 10 to 60 ft. Depending on the configuration, the battery and charger can be included or supplied separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CM BatteryStar battery-powered chain hoist work?
The CM BatteryStar chain hoist operates using a Milwaukee Tool® M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery instead of traditional electric power. Simply attach the hoist to an anchor point, insert the battery, and control lifting using the wireless remote. This makes it ideal for job sites where electrical power is unavailable or difficult to access.
What is the lifting capacity and speed of the CM BatteryStar hoist?
The CM BatteryStar battery-powered hoist has a lifting capacity of 1 metric ton with a standard 20 ft lift (optional lifts up to 60 ft). It provides lifting speeds of up to 8 feet per minute, helping improve efficiency compared to manual chain hoists.
What are the advantages of a battery-powered chain hoist compared to a manual hoist?
A battery-powered hoist like the CM BatteryStar reduces operator effort and can increase productivity by up to 4x compared to a manual hoist. It also provides variable lifting speed, wireless remote operation, and precise load positioning, making lifting tasks safer and more efficient.
What battery does the CM BatteryStar Hoist use?
The CM BatteryStar Hoist is designed for Milwaukee Tool® M18™ Red Lithium batteries. The recommended 12.0 Ah battery is supplied with applicable configurations, while smaller M18™ batteries can be used with reduced runtime and performance.
What happens if the CM BatteryStar Hoist runs out of battery during a lift?
The CM BatteryStar Hoist has a low-battery indicator on the wireless remote. If the hoist becomes inoperable during a lift, the load can be manually lowered using the manual lowering shaft and a 3/16 in hex bit.
How far can the CM BatteryStar Hoist be operated with the wireless remote?
The wireless remote allows the CM BatteryStar Hoist to be operated from more than 60 ft away. Variable-speed control allows the operator to adjust lifting speed from 0 to 8 FPM for precise load positioning.
