Re: car hoist
Thank god it's 3 phase, otherwise I'd be trying to explain to my wife where I'm going to put a hoist and why I need it

Re: car hoist

Re: car hoist
You can change the wiring from star to delta and will run at the same speed.
And if you put a vfd you can adjust how fast it goes up so you can get very accurate positioning.
So better start working on your explanations.

You should be able to just sling a moke up a couple of gum trees. She'll be right mate! 

Re: car hoist
$600? Lucky my garage isn’t really tall enough for a hoist. Kinda defeats the purpose when you can’t get the vehicle much higher than a jack stand.
Re: car hoist
I don't have the height for one either, my shed is a sea container and my garage is just a standard under the main roof carport. Maybe it could go out the front on the driveway, sort of a community hoist perhaps
