I would be lovely to see the schematic for the relay and control circuitry. I have the exact same application and would prefer to do a "dumb", relay-based solution rather than get into Arduino or similar rigamarole.

In the process of researching for a build, this is exactly what I am looking to do. A schematic would be super helpful!

Very nice set up. I have the hoist using manually right now. Do you have a parts list and wiring diagram? I'd pay you for it. thanks

How does it escape the cage without breaking?

Very nice.

Awesome.

Suggestion…. add a second cable to the winch as a safety backup. I’ve had a similar mechanism using a steel cable which after many cycles ended up fraying and breaking. Your travel isn’t that great and the winch drum should easily accommodate a second cable. The second cable will serve to hold the platform in the event either one of the cables break.

Here is my wiring idea with schematic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5nGq5-gar2YfdE

I have built a home elevator for my disabled granddaughter. Have it working but can’t figure out a down limit switch. Would you have a wiring plan that could help me do that. I am using a standard AC winch. Tom sudyk

Awesome!! Would love to see a wiring diagram of this…..PLEASE???? Or put one on Etsy…..

I really hope you put up a simple fence / railing / barrier because I can see someone falling off that upper level simply by stepping backwards while being distracted or not paying attention etc. You'll have one big lawsuit on your hands then. Anyway, thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻

wiring diagram please, this would be most awesome

K going to bed soon. Love you.

Nice rig , is it possible to combine two similar motherboard to increase performance

The wiring etc. in a nutshell; JZSlenker 3 years ago I don't have a schematic on paper. Basically your need two DPDT relays to replace the rocker switch that comes on the winch. One relay determines the direction, the other relay is "ON" Apply power to the on relay to cause the winch to move, apply to both (via a diode) and it will move in the opposite direction. To get the circuit to latch you setup two other relays that latch (via one of the two contacts). This latch is cut off by the limit switches that are setup for NC operation. 2 Bill Gurley Bill Gurley 3 years ago Thanks for your reply! That is helpful. I have a couple of other questions. 1. I assume that you're using a transformer to supply either 12vac or 24vac to activate the relays. 2. I also assume that your up/down switches are small 2-pole, momentary on-on switches to activate the relays; and it appears that you're using approximately 22 gauge wire for all of the low-voltage stuff. 3. Finally, the hoist we are using is also a 440 lb unit, and it looks very similar to yours. It has a big startup capacitor mounted inside the handheld control. Did yours have a startup capacitor? If so, is it installed in your nice wall-mounted control box? Or maybe it's just not necessary? Thanks again! 1 JZSlenker JZSlenker 3 years ago Yes, a 12V transformer powers the low voltage relays. Wiring is 18 gauge. Yes up / down switches are SPDT center off momentary. This particular HF hoist has the starting capacitor in the box on the hoist itself. You definitely will need to keep the capacitor. You could just put it in your control box enclosure. 2 JZSlenker 4 years ago The limit switches are from Grainger. They are Dayton brand SPDT. The Grainger part # is 12T962 they cost about $25 each Quick question? Why didn't you just use the wired remote that comes with this winch? JZSlenker JZSlenker 4 years ago That would have worked but I didn't want the operation to be dependent on the operator stopping it manually at either end. If you go too far on the down direction the steel cable would have un-spooled resulting in a cable spool that would wear the cable out prematurely.

Someday, I'm gonna do a video about how to include a five second shot of a circuit diagram in the video itself.

Thanks for sharing! We love a house plan but will need a dumbwaiter as garage is downstairs. This is perfect!!

It would be really cool if you could share a simple diagram for the relays! I'm considering putting a dumbwaiter in my house and would love to build it myself. I'm good on the mechanical end of things, but the logic side not so much. If you could help me skip past the trial and error part it would be greatly appreciated!

Childhood dreams intensifying

Nice design and build. Exactly what I was looking for. I can easily add a safety line or brake.

Could you use this for different levels. Like 2 floors

I would love to have the schematics of the wiring and materials if you have. Trying to retrofit an existing system with a new hoist etc.

Send me sir relay wiring daigram please

looks and works great. what type of relays did you use? what type of switch on the wall did you use? any help is appreciated. thanks

Would love to have this so I don’t have to carry things up and down basement steps

I would love a copy of this set up and the wiring great stuff

Hopefully the Farcry 6 royalties find their way to you

I think that what inspired UBISOFT As I'm Jason Brody

Commenting for the algorithm.

The hacksmiths seems to be a copy 👀

The perfect algorithm timing does not exist

Far cry 6

So who wants to take bets on the views from the recommendation?

Damn, hacksmith should learn from this...

hi

Well i'm sad because i saw the hacksmith's one first

Are you here after the FarCry 6 announcement ?

Okay what?

whose here from the hacksmith?

Wait ... has anyone seen far cry 6 trailer

this seems fammiliar. the hacksmith seems to have recreated the exact same design

Weaw

this is where ubisoft got there ideas for farcry 6

Isn't that what Bogdan at the Hacksmith had made?

HackSmith copied or inspired??

I feel like the hacksmith has copied your content

*OMG, Is that Far cry 6 reference!!!*

farcry 6 intensifies

This is going to get a lot of views in a few days after the release of the Far Cry 6 trailer
