Guys , Need a switch to limit travel of the hoist due to ceiling height . Have difficulty finding what I need that is not hundreds of $$ . I Can make brackets ect.

Normally closed , contact opens the circuit.

Motor is 230 single phaze .

Dave, years ago I worked in a factory, we had many large lathes and milling machines. This type of switches were always used to limit movement of parts. They are not expensive but impossible to find locally.

Actually show me what you have in mind, I might have it.

Dave, does this lift not have the overhead beam with the shut off bar on it?

No , it was designed for a high ceiling . I am adapting it to suit my needs . But a shut off bar is a good idea instead of mast switch .

Ya , anything like the one you showed as long as it will break one side of the 230v single phase to stop the motor when the top of the mast get to the ceiling in case I am off in lala land and not paying attention . I don't want to have to fix the ceiling .
