National Wheel-O-Vator NWOV 3/4HP Motor Replacement

3/4 HP 115/230V single-phase lift motor for National Wheel-O-Vator vertical platform lifts, replacing legacy 53081 & 53250, as well as Franklin 1102240402.

This 3/4 horsepower platform lift motor is designed for dependable operation in National Wheel-O-Vator vertical platform lift systems. Built on a NEMA 56 frame with a single-phase configuration, it provides the consistent torque and speed required for accessibility lift applications. The dual-voltage design supports both 115V and 230V power configurations, allowing the motor to be installed in a variety of existing lift electrical setups.

Operating at 1725 RPM on 60 Hz power and 1425 RPM on 50 Hz power, the motor delivers steady performance for platform lift drive systems. Its capacitor-start, induction-run design supports reliable starting characteristics under load, while the steel frame construction and open enclosure promote durability in lift equipment environments. With Class B insulation and a 40°C ambient rating, the motor is built for dependable operation in accessibility lift applications. This motor serves as a replacement for several legacy National Wheel-O-Vator lift motors and is compatible with vertical platform lifts originally equipped with Franklin motors.
