Top Tips from the comment section so far:
- Hot glue the capcitor down and get rid of polystyrene as it's nasty stuff if it burns
- Wear gloves in case of freyed cables
- It's a 60 'micro' farad not a 60 farad capcitor
- The unit is not water proof, so do not have it permanently fixed to a truck or anything outside.

That winch has a powerful union. 20%/10 min means it will work for 2 minutes but must rest for the other 8 minutes to avoid overheatng the motor. Lighter loads will allow for a longer work time in the same 10 minute shift.

Hi Joshua, I needed to design and build an automated pool cover retracted. A standard 1.5Kw motor and reduction box priced out to $1200.00.
I converted the hoist at $250.00, awesome solution.

Thank you! This answered pretty much all my questions. I have to use this, plus a jib, to lift a 60K BTU central air split system that I'm mounting onto the brick wall of my house. I'm not looking damn forward to it. It costs about the same prices over here in the US from Amazon. Crazy.

Love your reviews Joshua! Great work and edit Sir 👍

I have pretty much the same unit on a home made gantry crane in my workshop, I do traditional timber framing, so large beams etc. It's been great, can't fault it. It's been a game changer in my space

Nice video thanks. The capacitor is 60 microfarads. 60x10-6 or 0.000060 Farads. Makes an induction motor run on single phase power.

On the double rope, move the cut-off disc to the new position, so it is going to activate the cut-off switch. 😁It should undo to move it first, then couple up the sheave block.

Hi Joshua, nice review as usual 👌
I have the same system in my workshop but a lighter version, max 400kg ( dont need a heavy one). But it does help if you have a bad back 😬 For info: the capacitor is there to make a 3-fase motor work on 1-fase + neutral. It creates a fase deflection (120°)( 3-fase x120°= 360°) to power the 3th winding in the motor and your switch brings power to one side or the other of that 3th winding and makes the motor spin left or right. When your capacitor fails or blows up 😵‍💫, the motor does not start anymore but may make a humming noise as only 2 motor windings are powered. It's possible it will start if you give it a little push or twist in the correct direction but it will not have it's full power. Hope this makes sense 😉

Polystyrene is known to react to the cable insulation and can eventually cause exposed copper exactly where you don't want it.
(The Electrical Safety Office in Australia released an alert about polystyrene products a couple of years ago, up until that point we had used expanded foam to seal cable entries into buildings etc, not anymore).

Have had one for years works very well using any hoisting one must be diligent

[niksechtniks]

Oooh i need one of these! pulled my back to many times this year, for that price it's a steal! Tnx for sharing

[petedownes]

Thought I might buy one of these for my shop, for lifting stoves around, but the UK link is (as mentioned above) out of stock, with no option to pre order, so I've had to get mine from Machine Mart, and it looks to be the exact same winch, just a bit dearer. Enjoying your videos and getting lots of ideas from you. Keep up the good work.

I plan to buy one of these with the trollies so it can travel along my beam. First thing i will do is shortening the rope to my actual requirement. As long as you keep 4-5 windings in lowest position it is fine. I probably go for slightly lighter version 400 kg will do for me, if i can lift my table saw and motorbike and occasional engine block to my mezzanine in the workshop it is fine, they are for sale for less than 250 Euro. Thanks for review think Vevor is good quality for money for hobby use, i would not buy one of these for commercial shop use, they get abused to much.

If modifying for a remote bear in mind it's reaction time and also you want something that can't stick in an on position or do other weird stuff which I've had with some cheap remotes. An E Stop would have been nice to see as a backup to the switches.

Joshua awesome video today. Very helpful and very informative useful video this week. Congratulations on your new tool / toy Joshua. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Nice! The (harborfreight) HF Pittsburg model is either the same or a good clone.. however the HF model comes w/wired remote only, while this VEVOR is not only cheaper, but is available with a Wireless Remote and still cheaper! 👍😎✊

[trevorjarvis]

Awesome video Joshua - good looking bit of kit there and excellent value for money I would have thought. 🙂

[juliachu]

Thanks for performance! I want use it to lift log!
