Armor CM Lodestar D8+ Chain Hoist Road Case

Designed for CM Lodestar D8+ Chain Hoist Transport

This road case is purpose built for transporting a CM Lodestar D8+ electric chain hoist, an industry recognised lifting solution commonly used in entertainment, staging, and rigging environments. The CM Lodestar D8+ hoist is known for its high safety standards, durable cast aluminum construction, and double brake system, making it a preferred choice for stage and production lifting applications. Due to the precision mechanical components and internal brake systems within the hoist, controlled storage and protection during transport is essential.

The internal layout of this road case is designed to hold a single CM Lodestar D8+ chain hoist securely. A reinforced plywood support structure helps stabilize the equipment while preventing unwanted movement. This controlled storage approach helps protect both the mechanical and electrical components of the hoist during transportation between venues, storage facilities, and production sites.

Durable Materials and Consistent Manufacturing Standards

The case is constructed using 9 mm birch veneer plywood with a high pressure laminate exterior face and PVC interior face. This combination provides strong resistance to impact, moisture, and wear while maintaining a professional appearance suitable for touring environments.

All structural panels are precision cut using CNC machinery to ensure accurate fit and consistent build quality. Assembly is completed by trained technicians using Penn Elcom hardware, with attention given to lid alignment, latch positioning, and overall structural durability. A standard quality control process is followed throughout production to ensure each case meets Armor’s build and performance standards.

Functional Features Designed for Touring and Rigging Applications

The case features a hinged lid design that allows easy access to the chain hoist during setup and pack down. A corner handle mounted on the lid assists with safe opening and closing, improving usability during fast-paced stage environments.

A reinforced plywood internal structure is designed to hold the hoist securely, helping prevent movement during transport. Foam padding is positioned to absorb vibration and protect sensitive lifting components.

Two large latches provide secure closure, while four recessed handles improve handling and transportation. Castor dishes integrated into the lid allow safe stacking with other cases, helping maximise storage efficiency in trucks and production warehouses. A label dish is also included to allow easy identification of equipment during touring logistics.
