Can this hoist be mounted on the ground to pull down, or would that cause a motor problem?

I don't think that would be a problem, you would have to provide your own hardware to mount it but I think as long as you aren't pulling over its capacity you would be ok.

I am sure that it could, if, it's pulling within the hoist's recommended weight ability. I purchased this Hoist to use for a lift system I built to put things in my attic the most weight I put on the lift is ruffly under 200 LBS not a lot of weight but saves me on trips going up and down the latter. Works great for me, hope this helps.

If your are asking if the unit could install on the ground facing up I do not see anything in the mechanism that would hinder this. You would still have the cut off switch lever which should function. The issue would to insure you keep tension on the cable at all times otherwise I would think that the spooling of cable on the drum would become an issue.

Hi, I use mine to pull horizontally - no problem. If I was to use it for heavy downward pulling, I'd mount it upside-down, but I'm quite sure there would be no problem mounting it either way.

The hoist has an auto brake, the load will hold until the down button is pressed.

Not at all. I pull a 19 foot boat and had no issues. Just had to get a longer drop hitch.

If it rolls real easy on the existing ground you may be able to. You will still need to pour a small concrete pad to mount motor. Check owners manual for the specs on that.

hey shorty.... I think I understand your question, there are four pre drilled holes in the red housing which hold the motor to the hoist. If you could somehow rig a mechanism that will slide along the trolley you could mount the red housing to the trolley along the beam and then it will slide. if this does not answer your question I am sorry but what I can answer is that it has been a great host and has performed exactly as expected. it is durable and worth the money in my opinion. if you need any other assistance please let me know

This Northern Industrial electric hoist can be mounted to a trolley. You would first need to mount this to a beam or steel pipe and bed.

You will general be fine mounting in any direction but like any situation like this... you need to consider the load you are driving. If you a suspending the load, or supporting the load, on the motor shaft... then, in general, you will eventually run into problems... motor bearings will give out. If the load you are driving is independently supported then you will be fine.

If you have a drop pipe like in the photo you should be fine. If not, you may need to rotate the mount 45 degrees clockwise to lower the hand held. Hope this helps.

I have pulled grounding rods using the puller and a chain with a hook on the end. I'm not sure what your circumstances are though so I'm not sure if that will work for you or not.

Doubtful unless you set it into a portable concrete base. It is designed to be driven into the ground and even with 3 ground spikes will loosen with use and require moving.

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

I can't see why not. However it is basically designed to be pulled instead of pushed, but as long as you keep the front stand elevated enough to avoid ground based obstacles, no problem. ^_^

As with any thing I would use caution when placing anything underneath a suspended load. I would not trust anything under a load without having some safety catches of some king in place. Check with the engineers conservative rating on load capacity as well as the engineering of your attachment of pulley system. Best advice is to check with a local engineer and or contractor as to codes, apps, etc.

I have mine inside the house. If you mount it outside, especially on a metal pole, you would want to ground the pole just to be safe.

Not by gravity, so it might be tricky in an emergency. I've extended it from attic to come down. It can be done. But it was rather laborious to tilt it down, lean down, extend it a bit, latch it, extend more, latch it again.

Yes. I haven't had any issues with it in that respect other than it will go back down if you do not raise it all the way up as far as it will lift.

NO,NO NO, I do not recomend this at all. The power rack holds heavy weight but not for pulling, The power rack can move and that is all you need, If the power rack is bolted to the ground in cement might help. but this model is not made for that, you will need to upgrade to twice the strenght of this power rack, I hope this helps.
