The hoist came on time, packaged pretty well, and there were instructions in the box, although I don’t know what they are for because it’s a real stretch to consider them appropriate for this hoist. The biggest issue the home user will run into is where to mount the control box, especially if the hoist is mounted on a trolley as mine is. The hoist has good power, acceptable noise levels, and smooth and quite fine operation. I thought the wireless remote was hokey upon opening the package, but after using it I love it. This remote is probably one off the best wireless remotes (for any product) that has ever come out of China. Simple, great range, works no matter what it’s pointing at. My hoist is on an 70’ track going from near the front of my building to near the back. And I never have problems with the remote.The big problem is the cable, which needs a take-up guide. The wire rope was hastily installed during production and came with many flaws and kinks. It will not take-up or hold/park without memory mayhem. I will probably replace it soon, maybe with synthetic rope as with 12’ interior height I only need 1/2 of the supplied length. I carefully hand guide it during take-up, and hang a weight on it to keep it cooperating for next time I need it.
