Special Applications
This U.S.A. made electric chain hoist offers customizable special features to meet diverse operational needs. The Classic Lodestar is built to withstand harsh environments, making it ideal for severe duty applications such as plating, galvanizing, and washdown processes.

Its lightweight, flexible material dampens noise and avoids shrinkage, making it perfect for outdoor environments.
