we are currently using a Van door motor to pull the ball up like a forklift, but the motor has to fight the weight of the ball and gravity and when it does it will fight for around 3 seconds then it will give up and we are not able to control it for another 3 seconds.

is this a safety mechanism that would cause the motor to give up (shuts off)? how can we keep our motors fighting the ball's weight?
