I have one of the 115V 1300 lb hoists in my basement, and just wish there was an easy way to slow to dog gone thing WAY down. I've already added a double pulley block to the cable which helped, but it's still to fast for me. Too short a lift to add any more pulleys (low ceiling) and it's already a pain to try and keep them straight as it is.
Instead of a steady controlled "lift" I get more of a "clean and jerk" when trying to pick up my mill vice, rotary table, etc.
