Source notes
CM Lodestar D8+ (igvw SQP2:2018, TUV SUD) 1/2 t, single fall. Stage Design fleet units are model F (small frame): the 2024 BE batch certificates (39 units, NL5414BE-NL5476BE, inspected 11/2025) print "CM MODEL F", chain 6.35 mm single fall, D8+, and the 2017 XY rating labels (NL1475XY, NL1500XY) read MODEL F, 13.3 fpm / 4 m/min, 1/2 ton (500 kg), 1/2 HP, .37 kW, 1.3 A, FEM 2m, 415/3/50, MFG 2017/11. No fleet record shows JJ or LL. CORRECTION 02/10/2026: earlier values on this record assumed frame JJ/LL (8.1/16.3 m/min, 0.62 kW, 64.4 kg, 7.92 x 21.80 chain, 585 x 321 mm); they are replaced by the F values. Sources: Lodestar manual 10001681 Rev AF (08/2020) p.5, Table 1 (F: 500 kg, 13.3 ft/min = 4.06 m/min at 50 Hz, 4.88 m/min at 60 Hz, 0.373 kW, 429.3 mm between hooks, 28 kg net) and D8+ table (F: 1/2 t (500 kg), 2m, 240 starts/h, 40 %, 35.8 kg with rigid suspension and 3 m lift, 1 fall, 1/4 in (6.3) chain, 45.4 kN, 0.87 kg/m); CM Lodestar D8+ SQP2 catalog (08/2020) p.1 spec table (F: 1/2 t (500), 16 fpm (4.9) at 60 Hz, 2m, 0.87 kg/m, 2.2/1.3 A, 0.5 hp (0.4 kW), IP66) and p.2 dimensions F column (A 429, B 201, C 18, D 298, F 225, H 25, I 113, J 113, M 30, P 168 mm). Source conflict, stated not resolved: the 2014 BGV-D8+ supplement 00001999 p.2 rates model F at 250 kg with a 0.155 kW motor (50 Hz), 1.55/.78 A, 375.9 mm between hooks and IP54, while the 2020 manual, the 2020 catalog and the fleet labels rate F at 500 kg and 0.373 kW. Other 500 kg D8+ models in the same tables: J (8.13 m/min, 0.746 kW) and JJ (16.26 m/min, 1.49 kW, 64.4 kg, 7.92 x 21.80 chain); the CM-ET Entertainment Product Catalog 2019 p.14 lists JJ as product code 3206NH.
