    I've seen RF remotes intended for hoists on eBay. They are from China.
    The last time I saw one in action (RF remote control), the roofing supplier was delivering (flying) to my garage roof top shingles. That was reaching over a lower roof garage space.
    I take it that the motor must be a universal motor. That's a good thing.
    Hope to see the unit in action.
