Does anyone know much about these?
I have a Wright Way 2 ton electric chain hoist I bought at a city auction.
I'm testing it out and it works fine; but when the hook gets about 10 inches from the bottom of the hoist, it stops going up. You can lower it from there no problem, but it won't go any higher. I assume it stops on purpose to keep you from hitting the bottom of the hoist, but how is it knowing when to stop? I don't see any limit switches or other means; it's almost like the hoist is counting links or soemthing???
