I don't have a welder yet, I was probably going to get a hobart or harbor freight 175-190amp mig (maybe multipurpose) model. Looking at their images online they all use that 3 prong 50amp plug, but I couldn't easily find what actual amps they're expecting to pull.

Sorry I don't have the lift/motor yet, but I was able to pull the requirements from the manual's wiring diagram. I'm mentioning welder plug, because if I'm going to run a high amp circuit for the lift, I'm thinking about making that cirucit dual purpose (lift and welder), since I'll never use...
