	I guess that English is not your primary language, we will all try and help you still, but be patrient with us as you infos were far from complete..... Gearing will help to allow a small motor to lift a heavy weight. A worm drive will lock if the power to the motor is removed as well as gearing the motor down for more power....stopping the weight from taking charge..... A simple driver circuit can be made with a 555 and a few other chiips, or buy a dedicated chip to drive steppers. __________________ "What others say about you reveals more about them, than it does you."

	Correct! I'd add that all 15° stepper motors I've ever seen were very small, so a considerable amount of gearing would be required to lift that large a load. A worm gear system would indeed probably be most appropriate. The OP did not say how quickly he needed to lift the load, so we can't be sure whether a small motor will do the job. __________________ Teaching is a great experience, but there is no better teacher than experience.
