The CM BatteryStar has the lifting strength and speed of an electric chain hoist, but the portability of a manual hoist. It has been built with industry-leading technology from Columbus McKinnon and Milwaukee tool. Designed for easy installation, the BatteryStar can have you lifting in minutes – simply attach the hoist to an anchor point, slide in a battery, and you’re ready to go! 

Powered by an industry-leading M18™ Red Lithium Battery from Milwaukee Tool®,the BatteryStar is built for heavy-duty lifting and uses the same M18™ battery you may already have on your job site for added convenience. 

Designed for safety and ease of use, the BatteryStar is controlled by a wireless remote to keep the operator out of the load path. The remote also features built-in intelligence, alerting the operator of an overload situation or if hoist inspection is due. 

Whether you’re lifting materials at a construction site or moving equipment into place for an outdoor concert, the BatteryStar has the power and speed you need for any application – especially when external power is not available.
