CM Chain Hoists & Accessories at MTN Shop UK
Reliable lifting in entertainment depends on more than just the hoist. A working stage rig needs the right chain hoist, paired with the right accessories, chains, control stations and protective gear to keep it running tour after tour. At MTN Shop UK, with over 40 years of experience in stage and event production, we bring together the full CM ecosystem in one place: hoists, bags, sliders, control gear, weather covers and replacement parts.
CM chain hoists for stage rigging
The CM (Columbus McKinnon) range is the entertainment industry standard for chain hoists. Our line up covers:
- Lodestar D8 (single brake): the classic stage hoist in 500 kg and 1000 kg capacities.
- Lodestar D8 (double brake): adds a second mechanical brake for additional safety, often required when lifting over people.
- Lodestar RRS: a Rigid Restricted System hoist up to 2000 kg for venues that require this configuration.
- Next Gen Lodestar D8+: the latest evolution in 500 kg and 1000 kg, with updated electronics and improved serviceability.
- Lodestar Model F: the heritage hoist still trusted for proven, classic performance.
- CM Prostar (250 kg): a lighter capacity hoist for scenic and smaller lighting applications.
- CM StageStar: compact and cost effective for fixed, smaller installations.
Chain bags, sliders and chain handling
A well managed chain is a safer chain. Our range includes MTN chain hoist bags for the Lodestar, Prostar and double hook setups, the MTN Chain Slider system with slider inserts for fast chain handling, and the MTN Chain Tie-Back Kit for securing chain on the rig. The Tourslider Chain Hoist Slide is also part of this family for high volume touring use.
Control stations and electrical accessories
Get the right cable runs and control on every motor. We supply MTN Hubbell Control Stations, MTN Motor Strain Reliefs for safe cable management at the hoist, and MTN P-14 Cable Tails ready to connect into your hoist control system.
Weather covers and protection
Outdoor and touring rigs face wind, rain and dust. The MTN Chain Hoist Weather Cover is sized for CM Lodestar and Prostar hoists, protecting the motor while keeping the hoist accessible during the show.
Load chains and replacement parts
Match the chain to the hoist. We sell CM Genuine Prostar Load Chain 4 mm, CM Genuine Load Chain 10 mm for Lodestar RRS and other genuine load chains, plus a full set of genuine CM replacement parts for Classic Lodestar, Next Gen Lodestar and Prostar hoists.
