Customer Reviews for Vevor New Portable Tracking Block Electric Winch Hoist Tools 500kg / 1100lbs Remote

I purchased this winch to lift my fold up motorcycle trailer up the wall. In the past it took 2 of us to manhandle it. This winch has made this job a breeze, wish I had purchased one of these winches years ago!

Was looking for an easy way to lift a heavy (350 pound) 5th wheel hitch out of the truck bed. I tried a similar looking item from another “Huge” on line retailer but the remote control was DOA so I sent it back. I then stumbled upon the Vevor website and decided to take a chance on someone other than the Huge on line seller that I purchase everything else from. The positives. The Price. It cost less than half of other solutions out there. All three engagement options worked right out of the box. The two remote controls came with a battery. It lifted the hitch with no problem. I have used it three times and it is great. I can finally install and remove the hitch by myself with little effort. The price for the three way version was less than similar two way switch hoists from the Huge on line vendor. The Clevis slip hook allows suspended load to rotate 360 degrees. Great for aligning the lock pins for my 5th wheel hitch. The Negatives As others noted there is significant hysteresis in the operation of the unit. It will continue to lift or continue to drop for a second or two after you let go of the up/down switch. This equates to about an inch of lift or drop. Why? When you let go of the switch the inertia of the motor continues to rotate the system for a second or two. For my use I was able to work around this issue. The cable guide plate (the fairlead) where the cable feeds onto the spool is not centered. I noticed the cable rubs on this when in use The problem is this plate is made of steel and not aluminum, the proper material for a fairlead. Not a huge issue unless you use this multiple times a day. I dinged this one star under quality/design for this reason. Noteworthy Items Not a pro or a con As other reviews noted this unit does not have an electric brake that stops the hoist the instance the switch is turned off. However this does not mean the hoist will not hold a load when the switch is off. I even tested the unit by unplugging the hoist and it held the 350 pound load steady. I added additional weight and it did not budge. I AM NOT RECOMMENDING YOU STORE HEAVY LOADS BY SUSPENDING THEM with the hoist alone. I am just commenting the hoist did not back wind even with power turned off while suspending more than 500 pounds. As others commented you can hear the motor when in use. I don’t believe the noise is excessive and similar to other winches I have used. Keep in mind like all winches the actual motor runs at a high RPM with the drum rotation geared down for power vs speed. I am unable to comment on reliability. As noted I have used it three times with no issues. Initial quality was good. It would be great if they sold this with a storage bag. I am using an old gym bag for now. Bottom Line: Inexpensive tool for lifting heavy items and would certainly buy it again. Good Luck

Not a precise winch it rolls up and down past where you want it

Great unit that works awesome. Strong, fast and looks very durable. Would buy again if I needed another one.

Takes the hard away from lifting cast iron parts. Nice to have a helper in the garage. Would recommend it

I bought this to help me get the hard top and doors off of my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. It was cheaper and less technical than the other lifts and kits I looked at. Comes with 2 remote and a removable hand cord. Vet easy to use by myself. Highly recommended!!

Product seems to work well… I was able to hang it from a 1/2” eye bolt, and lift my 490# boat… it is a little slow compared to my harbor freight atv winch (which I hung in my attic for lifting) The worst part about it is the reaction time… when you click the up/down button… it’ll lift… but then when you let go, there’s a half second where it continues it’s action… so it makes putting my boat down gently a bit of a challenge… other than that, no issues… has a remote with a special battery size to it, looks like it’s half the length of a AA battery… remote works well

Great Hoist for the money. Better then all the ones I bought from harbor freight hands down. Never have to worry about the cable over lapping. With the swivel hook it makes operation of the cable work perfectly.

This hoist same me a lot of time and headaches. It paid for itself in one use! I Bought this to set a generator in my boat and it saved me at least 2 hours of labor not to mention it was a lot easier compared to a manual hoist. The uses for this device are endless.

This winch is absolutely fantastic and a great upgrade to the wired version.I pushed the limits with this and lifted an entire car shell with the unit and it worked flawlessly.I use this winch to lift electric bikes in my shop and it works fantastic everyday.highly recommended.
