440lbs Power Lift Electric Hoist

This is a great hoist for the money. I bought it to lift the hard top from my jeep without the help of my wife. It works perfectly for that. I installed it in the rafters of my garage, and ran the cable and remote thru a pvc pipe placed in the ceiling. I installed an electric outlet nearby, though it can be plugged into an extension cord if needed. Perfect. The cable and remote are long enough I can reach it though the hoist is fixed to the rafters above my garage ceiling. I can easily control it with one hand, while guiding the load with the other hand. Highly recommend for light to med duty lifting.

Bought for a deer hoist in my garage. Was inexpensive and works great. For my application i feel it will last a very long time (minimal use per year) Appears well built and came with additional straps , cord on remote was a good length for my garage (9' ceilings) I mounted sliding door rollers by drilling through brackets that come with winch. Works great.

Worth the money. I am using it to hoist roofing materials up a ladder (lots of youtube videos showing how to do it with small hoist). The only problem I have had was with the EMERGENCY SHUT OFF SWITCH. It can bump against something and of course the thing won't work until you pull out the switch. The problem it that mine is very, very hard to pull back out. You have to rotate the red knob in the directions of the arrow, but it can still take me a while to get it back out enough to run. Today i went to use it, and the hoist just "chattered" (odd buzzing sound) but no movement. I tried the remedy another reviewer mentioned about the stop switch issue. (he posted a photo of a fix with a screwdriver to the switch issue). Well that wasn't it. It turned out to be the emergency (red knob) shut off switch, apparently partially depressed. In the past the emergency switch would completely shut it off, but now it was like partial voltage or something, and it would chatter but not run. I fought with the emergency switch for about 30 seconds, rotating and pulling out, and then it worked smoothly. Odd, the knob didn't seem to pull out any farther visually, but it fixed it. Like any of these hoist, you must let ALL of the line out, and carefully roll it in under light tension (hands with gloves) and lay the cable in a very neat coil with no open gaps or funky overlaps, so the next winding has something smooth to run on or it will bend the cable going over uneven surfaces.If you let all the tension off the cable, it will loosen on the spool and turn to chaos. Not a fault of this hoist, that is what they all do, on a jeep, or whatever. So that is a maintenance piece, to run the line all the way out and carefully place it as it runs back in, and leave a small 5 lb weight or whatever to keep some tension on the line when not in use. it is a good hoist for the money. Does what it is supposed to.

I was able single-handedly to drop 2-each (very heavy) water heaters out of my attic and then lift two new units into the attic to replace them. I actually bought two of these hoist units since our attic had an awkward step up so that there was actually two levels of lift required. In all, the units worked flawlessly and were easy to install onto the rafters in the attic using a heavy round pipe spanning between two rafters (i.e. I drilled 1-1/4" holes into the two adjacent joists and then used sleeves to hold pipe on opposite sides.

I purchased this hoist to facilitate the loading of items/stuff from my garage floor to a loft in my garage. To date, I have not used the hoist a great deal, though limited, this hoist works great for my application. Easy to operate, and more than adequate for my needs...really saves the back, and moving heavy and bulky items to the loft rather than the narrow access drop down stairs which some may have experienced.

Purchased on December 9, 2017. Used once to hoist 50# lawnmower to loft storage. Worked perfect. I loved it. Left the hoist in my new, unheated garage over winter. On May 3, 2018 went to use it for second time to lower lawnmower from loft storage. Hoist would lower cable, but would not rewind to lift. Looked for hours through Amazon website and Kaixun website. No suggestions for service help. Nothing in the user manual to provide guidance. This piece of equipment went from 5-star to less than 1-star. Is it the tool or is it the backup support? I would appreciate some help to make this tool work. Whoa! I was a little premature on the above comment. Turns out the safety switch function had engaged. Tool is fine - I love it again. Service and communication still suck.

Arrived on time and in good condition. I use it in my garage attic and it was easy to install and works great. Should help me get some of the big and bulky things up into the attic or down when needed. I have to bring everything up on a pull down ladder, so really nothing to hold onto when hauling things up or down. This hopefully will make it easier and safer.

I purchased this product for hoisting deer. My dad is getting to the age he doesn't feel comfortable hunting bc he can't lift the deer after shot. This hoist gives him the ability to still enjoy hunting. It was easy to install and use. It has no shortage of lifting power. Says 440 lbs capacity but we had 650 lbs on it and it lifted with ease. Would definitely recommend product.
