I bought one of these last year. Don't expect ANY seller support at all. I tried asking questions before I bought mine and NEVER got an answer. When the solenoids went out (and they will fast) I couldn't get any answer as to what the problem may have been or how to fix it. I figured it out on my own and while doing so I also figured out the components are the cheapest on the market. The winch manufacturer said the solenoids are meant to be used once or twice a year to get a quad unstuck. They are light duty and will burn out fast when loading hives. Not something you want to find out halfway through a load with a bad back!
Do you think with the available rails this would lift a 2 way pallet with single deeps? That'd be close to the 200lb limit. I want to make my operation more mobile but don't have enough hives to justify a forklift yet
I would imagine that the lifting capacity is not the issue - trying to roll it on uneven ground is a bigger issue. Might have to add power to the wheels to drive it as well...
I've spent 40 years moving window and wall unit for installation in homes this would save time and my back
Great demonstration video to avoid injuries while getting the job done! 😊

Yikes! Thanks for sharing. I haven’t had any issues yet but only use it a couple times a year. Your experiences may help others that are looking!!
looking purchasing one of these would you buy it again. I also thought they had one with a system that clamped on the back of box for lifting.
I would. Between neck and shoulder surgery I feel I can actually do solo work without injury. It has its nuances but so far so good
How high can it lift? Specifically, I want to be able to lift it up to a trailer or a truck bed.

Hmm I cannot say I know enough about that setup to comment unfortunately
If your consent is weight limit, the lifter will definitely be able to handle 200lb and even more.

How long Battery last per charge
It’s been a year of light use and still the original charge
Did your wheels fall off as well
Not so far although I can’t say I have a lot of hours of use on it, but the times I have used it so far so good
