The OZ 500 lb electric builders hoist is a compact electric hoist designed for raising materials vertically on construction and maintenance projects. Operating from a standard 115V outlet, this 500 lb hoist lifts loads up to 90 feet using a wire rope drum where ladders or manual handling are not practical. Contractors, maintenance technicians, and renovation teams commonly use a builders hoist to move tools, equipment, and building materials safely between working levels. For a wider selection of similar equipment, see our electric hoists collection.
This type of hoist is intended for controlled vertical lifting in temporary or mobile installations rather than fixed production handling. Upper and lower travel limit switches and a dual braking system provide controlled stopping during lifting and lowering operations. The unit is suitable for roofing work, refurbishment projects, plant servicing, and property maintenance where a dependable electric lifting device is required.

faqs about 5000 lb builders hoist
What materials can the 500 lb builders hoist lift?
What materials can the 500 lb builders hoist lift?
The hoist is suitable for lifting construction materials such as lumber, drywall, roofing supplies, tools, and small equipment up to 500 lb. Loads should be balanced on the hook and lifted vertically only, as the unit is designed for raising materials rather than pulling or horizontal movement.
Does the OZ OBH500 hoist run on a standard outlet?
Does the OZ OBH500 hoist run on a standard outlet?
Yes. The hoist operates from a standard 115V single phase power supply. A grounded outlet with appropriate circuit protection should be used, and extension cords should be heavy duty and rated for the electrical load.
How is a builders hoist mounted?

The hoist is typically suspended from a secure overhead support such as a beam, mounting bracket, or trolley rated for lifting applications. The supporting structure must be capable of safely carrying both the weight of the hoist and the lifted load.
Is the OBH500 suitable for continuous daily production lifting?
Is the OBH500 suitable for continuous daily production lifting?
No. A builders hoist is intended for intermittent lifting during construction, maintenance, and installation work. For continuous or repetitive industrial handling, a fixed overhead crane or heavy duty production hoist would be more appropriate.
What safety features prevent accidental dropping of the load?

The unit includes upper and lower limit switches along with a dual mechanical and dynamic braking system. These features stop travel at the end of the lifting range and provide controlled stopping during lifting and lowering operations.
What maintenance is required for this electric hoist?
What maintenance is required for this electric hoist?
Routine inspection should include checking the wire rope for wear, confirming the hook safety latch operates correctly, and verifying limit switches and controls function properly. The hoist should be kept clean and dry and removed from service if any safety component becomes damaged.
