        "note": "Because the counterweight cancels most of the car, the hoist motor only lifts the out-of-balance load = rated load × (1 − overbalance). Power = that mass × g × speed ÷ efficiency (~65–75 % for a geared machine, higher gearless). A 1,000 kg lift at 45 % overbalance and 1.5 m/s needs the motor to lift ~550 kg, about 11–12 kW — far less than the ~21 kW a hoist without a counterweight would need.",
