Hi all,I have been looking everywhere for a small hoist capable of lifting 10KG or so 6 - 12 inches every week or two. This is to be controlled by a SMS controller of which I already have up and running.Normal hoists are 125KG minimum and would look terrible bolted to a ceiling.Ive tried googling for hours, phoning a couple of motor companys, an electricians forum and stage lighting company.All it will be is a small geared motor with a spindle on the end with a 5 metre wire attached 6, 12 or 230 volts and capable of handling 10KG every week or two.I could get these manufactured but will be highly expensive so im looking for something off the shelf or something off the shelf that can be modified and affordableIm in the UKThanksAlex
It sounds like you're making a giant grandfather clock. That's a cool idea if it is what you're doing.
Oh, then you could simply drill a hole in part of the pulley, thread the wire/whatever through it, tie it off(securely), and then it'll be your "spindle".
I am building an automated hydroponics system thats controlled by mobile phone through a SMS controller...this is the light raising part...you send text message "raise lights" it then goes through a timed relay, through a 12v - 230V relay and raises the lights up by 6 - 12 inches at a time
What's the purpose of lifting this heavy lamp once a week?And why text it?(Growing pot in a hidden secret place or something? )
