Use a DC winch with a speed control or "soft start" or get all fancy
schmantzy with a hydraulic winch - - - - -

---------------------------------
I was happy with the hoisting speed and positioning control of a 1 ton 
manual chainfall. It lifted the track and sawmill components for assembly, 
positioned and rotated the logs, and moved all the lumber I cut. When not in 
use the hand chain was stored in the farm bucket, hung from the hook. The 2T 
chainfall lifted the heaviest logs but got little use otherwise because it 
is so slow.

I suppose a jogging or inching mode for an AC electric hoist could be added 
with a variable time delay and SSR relays, as I did for my spotwelder.
