3-in-1 Electric Hoist Winch, 500 kg Capacity, 1500W Portable Electric Power Winch, 7.6 m Lifting Height, 5 m/min with Manual, Wired & Wireless Remote Control for Factory, Warehouss, Garage

Getting an engine block or a loaded pallet up to head height usually takes two people and a fair chance of dropping something. A 1500 W electric hoist does that part on its own, and this one gives you three separate ways to run it.

Three ways to drive it

Buttons on the hoist body suit quick work beside the unit. The supplier quotes a wired pendant lead of 27 ft, roughly 8 m, enough to run a lift from across a bay while watching the load rather than the drum. The wireless handset is quoted at 200 ft, about 60 m, which earns its money when the hoist sits overhead and the only sensible place to stand is outside whatever is swinging.

Brakes that hold when the power drops out

Two braking systems work together: an electronic brake stops the motor, a mechanical brake holds the load once stopped. A limit switch cuts power at the top of travel so the rope cannot be wound into the housing. The supplier also states the motor stops if supply is lost, so a blackout mid-lift does not become a drop. The hook has a 360° latch that keeps a sling eye from jumping clear as a load rotates.

Key features

• Fan-cooled 1500 W motor: bigger brushes and forced air suit repeat cycles.
• Galvanised wire rope: resists the rust that seizes a drum in a damp shed.
• Unhurried 5 m/min: slow travel lets you place a load, not chase it.
• Vertical or horizontal: lifts up a bay or drags across a slab.

Before you use it

• 500 kg is one supplier figure with no stated basis, single line or with a pulley block. Work to the unit's rating plate.
• The mount carries load plus hoist. No fixings, structure or standard are specified.
• A hoist lifts; it does not support. Never go under a suspended load.
• Voltage and plug type are not stated. Confirm before ordering.

Sensible where the same heavy things go up and down often.
