Converting a GregSmith Pro 8000 from 110 to 220

I wish I would have bought a 220V 4 post instead of a 110. Is it possible to rewire these motors? I don't see a tag or a removable cover like other multi-voltage motors I've seen.

Looking at the website it looks like you are stuck with 120

Looks like a complete 220V power unit can be bought for $150-$200. I couldn't find a replace motor for less than that.

it would seem to me that the original power unit would have value too

I am just curious why you want to change it. Faster lift?

It doesn't like my 4000lb car. It won't always start and sometimes blows the breaker. I had it up for over a year before I modified the ceiling enough to use it for cars. It went up fine when I was just using it as a big shelve.
