Lift? So you're not asking about drivetrain motors, you're asking for motors to power a lifting mechanism?

To select a motor (or motors), the first thing you need to do is determine the power required.

So... how high do you need to lift the 150 lbs and how fast? That's the info you need to estimate the power required.
