Details
The CM Lodestar Manual Chain Hoist (MM003) is a compact 1/4 metric tonne hoist built around planetary gearing to minimize operator hand-pull effort. Unlike the ML-series hand chain hoist, the MM003 uses an automatic safety brake that engages when the minimum load threshold is reached — stopping the load even if the operator releases the chain or puts the unit in free-chain mode, in the same way a seat belt reacts. Standard lift is 8 ft; order by descriptive model number (e.g. MM003-20-18 for 20 ft lift, 18 ft drop).
- Planetary gearing — minimizes operator effort, reduces brake stress
- Automatic safety brake — sets at minimum load, holds even in free-chain mode
- Grade 80 zinc plated alloy load chain
- All-steel construction — plated frame, chrome exterior finish
- Sleeve bearings for maximized serviceability and efficiency
- Compact & lightweight — fits and stores in tight spaces
- Standard lift: 8 ft — custom lift/drop available by model number
- Load tested at 125% capacity
- ATEX rated II 3 GD c IIB 54°C X — limited hazardous environment use
- Meets ASME/ANSI B30, OSHA, NASA-STD-8719.9
How to Order — Descriptive Model Number
| Model | WLL | Falls | Chain | Hand Pull Max. (lb) | Weight — 5ft lift (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MM003 | 1/4t / 550 lb | 1 | C4X12Z | 26 | 7.7 |
Never exceed the rated Working Load Limit. The automatic safety brake sets at the minimum load threshold — do not attempt to bypass or override this feature. Always follow OSHA and ASME/ANSI B30 requirements. Inspect chain and hooks before every use. ATEX rating applies to limited hazardous environment use only — verify atmosphere classification before deployment.
