I used a spare paper shredder, 110v nice set of gears and shafts. I used it to hoist my 10 ft attic ladder. Always nice to see people make things out of something else.
Maybe 25 years ago we bought one of the Store model hoists like you were talking about from HF. We still have ours; it lifted five gallon buckets of mortar and around 44-55 brick at a time. Power up and down with a brake that worked great. Best $60 we could have spent, Greg.
A wiper motor and a bit of steel tubing and we might be able to build a nice little crane for my buddy's truck to save his and my back as we both are getting older and them deer type critters seem to be getting heavier every year lol
Often wondered about what you can get out of a wiper motor - this is most interesting. Amazing how gearing down gets nice high torque... very encouraging results. Controller probably coping with some high amps on the high loads.
I love it the video,also yesterday i replaced windshield wiper motor of my fathers car.I salvaged old motor,now the motor sitting on my table.Gearbox on this motor generates amazing power:)
As I watched this I was thinking of the hand crank winch in my basement... if this was hooked up to it, because of the worm gear on it I bet you could lift a thousand pounds on it. Being a manual winch it's so slow to crank and uncrank I bet a WSW motor would be great. I'll have to give it a shot.
Great job, I'm impressed with the little wiper motor. It seems as though a linear actuator powered by one of these motors would be capable of doing alot of things and being much more cost effective than buying a commercial actuator.

Add a pulley and double you're lifting capability

Harold, time spent in the workshop is never wasted. Thanks for sharing. Kindest regards. Joe
Just amazing how much it could lift, I was supprised. good interesting video there Harrold
That was a pretty cool demonstration sir, thanks for sharing and answering the question. Thumbs up.
Lots of power there, great little winch for the drill press table.

Just found your channel and glad I did! Gonna be going over all your videos! Interesting channel Sir!
Love my 12vdc gear motors. In fact I made my X axis power feed on my mill from a power seat motor. Good video - enjoyed it.
Very good Harold. Thanks for showing this
This is a great video! :)

Wow, I had no idea they would lift that much. I would have thought 5-10 max. Thanks for the test.
hi Harold, that setup works really good. I have wiper motors, I think I'll put them into use. Thanks for the videos. take care

Would have never thought it could handle that much weight! Nice!!!

love this video and ingenuity. great video great channel...im going to use on of these for a bead roller. keep up the great work and stay safe.
