Clawfoot Motors
It is a general-purpose motor most commonly used with a flat-plate hoist. The clawfoot mounting slots help install on a flat-plate hoist. Installing a belt and pulley onto the drive shaft allows the motor to turn the pulley. This will move the belt.

BH-USA Equipment Guide
After a lightning strike took out one of my BH USA lift motors just before the Labor Day weekend, I was delighted to get a fully wired replacement delivered in just 2 days. The customer service person I spoke with even went to the production supervisor to confirm timing for a unit with a non-standard power supply cord length. Well done BH USA team...

The product was fine, BH-Usa service is the problem. Original motor/switched arrived damaged but since it took me too long to realize it (I opened the box 3mo later), I got no help with the replacement.

BH is great to work with. I deducted a star because the packaging of the motors was a little weak so one of the baseplates got bent in transport. I think it will bend back ok I have not installed them yet. I recently got a motor for another application from Grainger (a Leeson) and it was stretch wrapped very tightly to a really heavy piece of cardboard (like 5/8" thick) to prevent the kind of damage that happened here. It worked.
