Wireless hoist system

A hoist device, comprising:

• a power source;
• a motor having an output shaft;
• a transmission coupled to the output shaft and configured to interface with a connector;
• a load hook coupled to a first end of the connector;
• and
• a controller configured to wirelessly communicate with a wireless transceiver of the hoist device, the controller configured to:
• control an operation of the motor,
• determine a magnitude of a load associated with a workpiece coupled to the connector via the load hook;
• and
• control a rate of acceleration of the motor based on the determined magnitude,
• wherein the hoist device is configured to one or raise and lower the workpiece based on a user command signal received at the controller.

A hoist device, comprising:

• a power source;
• a motor having an output shaft;
• a wireless transceiver;
• a remote controller in communication with the wireless transceiver;
• a transmission coupled to the output shaft and configured to interface with a cable, the transmission configured to transfer rotational motion of the output shaft of the motor to the cable to one of release or retract the cable;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• control an operation of the motor;
• determine a magnitude of a load associated with a workpiece coupled to the cable;
• and
• control a rate of acceleration of the motor based on the determined magnitude;
• wherein the rate of acceleration is reduced in response to an increase in the magnitude of the load.
