VEVOR 2-in-1 Electric Hoist Winch: 660 lb, 1500W, wired and wireless remote

The VEVOR 2-in-1 Electric Hoist Winch is a portable power winch rated at 660 lb, with a 1500W motor and both wired and wireless remote controls. It's designed for lifting vertically and pulling horizontally, in garages, workshops and warehouses. Here is what the specs mean and what to confirm before use.

What "2-in-1" means

VEVOR says the unit handles vertical lifts and horizontal pulls. As a hoist, it hangs from a strong overhead support and raises a load. As a winch, it can drag a load along a surface. These are different jobs with different set-ups and limits, so follow the manual for each, and don't treat the hoist's stated capacity as a licence to use it in ways it doesn't describe.

Capacity, cable and speed

VEVOR rates it at up to 660 lb. Its two headline figures, 98.4 and 62, appear in the listing as a lifting height in feet and a speed in feet per minute, but the listing is not consistent about which is which. Confirm both the working rope length and the no-load speed on VEVOR's specification sheet before planning a lift. Speed generally drops as the load rises.

VEVOR says the winch can hoist engines, steel or furniture in garages, warehouses or on balconies. A balcony or any structure must be able to carry the load, which is a matter for the structure's owner or an engineer.

Motor and cooling

A 1500W motor with forced-fan cooling and enlarged carbon brushes. VEVOR says this design helps give steady output and a longer working time. Hoists are normally rated for intermittent duty, so check the duty cycle in the manual and allow rest periods.

Safety features listed

• Mechanical brake: holds the load if power is lost.
• Limit switch: helps avoid over-travel of the hook.
• 360° security-latch hooks: help keep loads attached.

VEVOR says these features reduce drop risk and keep lifts controlled. They are aids, not replacements for good practice. Never stand under a suspended load, never exceed the rated capacity, and inspect the rope, hooks and anchor points before each use.

Wire rope

The cable is a high-strength galvanized steel rope, which VEVOR says resists twist and corrosion and helps avoid kinks. Wire rope should be replaced if it shows kinks, broken strands or heavy wear.

Remote controls

A 22.3 ft wired remote allows close control. A wireless remote works at 492-656 ft, which VEVOR says supports teamwork. Keep a clear view of the load whichever remote you use.

Size and weight

It measures about 13.0 x 7.9 x 9.4 inches and weighs about 42.8 lb. That portable size helps when moving it between work areas, though it will need a firm mounting point.

Who it suits

It suits home garages, workshops and small warehouses that lift or pull loads within 660 lb and have a suitable anchor point.

What to check before you buy

• Load weight: include rigging and slings in the total.
• Anchor point: the support must carry more than the rated load, per an engineer or the manual.
• Power: check the supply voltage and circuit.
• Cable length: confirm the working length against your lift height.
• Use rules: hoists are not rated for lifting people.
• Local codes: follow workplace and local regulations.
