Inch-
The motors from the feed mixers are probably induction/repulsion motors. These
are motors designed to start heavy loads and not stall or overheat. Very good
and strong motors.
For a hoist, I have no real suggestions. I am paranoid about lifting something
and then seeing it fall down. A hoist should have some type of fail-safe
ratchet device installed, IMHO. Just gearing couldmake a lift, but there is no
safeguard.
I just bought an old forklift truck, you can get a 4000-6000 pound truck for a
surprizing ly low price. I got a nice Hyster truck with a Chev 4-cyl. They also
made them with Chev V-6 engines.

I have 4 motors...
2 of them are 3/4hp motors that used to be in chicken feed
mixers/feeders. I have no idea if they work or not, but if anyone is
interested in them, they are free. (I can check if they work if someone
is interested. I don't have to much info on them as the labels on them
are worn off. Note, they are BIG and HEAVY!)
Now, I also have 2 other motors that are 3/4hp 115volt. They came off of
my boat lift, so they are designed with the clutches and all built in.
Now, for my question, I wanted to built an electric hoist out of one (or
both of them)
Does anyone know where I can get some plans for one? I was thinking of an
"A" frame or other overhead, movable frame that I could lift stuff up
with. Sort of like a general purpose lift. (or should a buy a prebuilt
unit?)
One of my projects is rebuilding an old metal lathe. With pieces well
over 1000#, I need some help moving it and this should fit the bill.
