Powering Performance: The CM® BatteryStar™ Chain Hoist

For decades, CMCO products have been trusted on stages, sites, and venues around the world. Iconic models like the CM Lodestar, Prostar, and Stagestar have set the benchmark for dependable lifting.

The CM® BatteryStar™ Chain Hoist continues that legacy — delivering cordless lifting power through Milwaukee Tool® battery technology. Recently featured at the Eurovision Song Contest, the BatteryStar exemplifies CM’s drive to combine safety, innovation, and convenience in one system.

Huge thanks to the Malecon team who captured the BatteryStar in action during their load-in at Eurovision. Malecon recently purchased 100 CM Lodestar Chain Hoists from MTN SHOP, which we proudly supply throughout Central Europe to support their major live-event projects.
