Depends on brand/model of hoist. the starting/working current requirement, type of motor/control used and length of wire run ~ it's not necessarily BS ...ie; many single phase hoists are rated around the 2.2kw -working- power, but initially at startup they can consume 3kw+....which is why they stipulate a 20amp supply circuit...(and this gets trickier if it's an inverter controlled motor...like our bore pump)
