    Did you change the motor/gearbox? If so what are you using now, specs please? Also if you changed did it solve your heat issue?

    Hi! Yes, I changed the motors and gearboxes.
    The overheating issue with one motor was due to incorrect platform geometry. I now have hypoid gearboxes and 350-watt 24V motors. Everything works fine.

    But now I have a problem: I accidentally or unknowingly bought the motors without a brake, so after a power outage, the levers drop beyond the rotational limits. Then I have to manually return them to their operating position...

    How did you change the geometry, can you post a picture?
