Help Finding Pushbutton Switch for 4 Post Lift

[Ennflux]

I've had my Backyard Buddy trailer width lift for a few years, and it has served me well. The one thing I've never liked about operating it is the small but very strong power switch on the motor. Holding it for 90 seconds is tough due to the small size and spring resistance. I would like to mount a larger pushbutton or other type of switch but am finding cheap plastic models or ones that aren't rated for that much current. I imagine I could wire a relay and use a lower amperage switch but would prefer a direct replacement if possible. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

Could use a suitably rated (2 HP, 230V), contactor & a control station, the control voltage could be either 24VAC, or 240V, with line voltage (240V) the simplest.

Look at a Marquardt 1661.0101.

Yes, apologies. I originally posted it in the general section. Not sure I can delete the original.

You can google for that switch model and find one in aliexpress $30 “ADPFJ0”

Google for terms like
