I doubt 220 will work. Regardless of what voltage the motor is at it will still run with the same power. OSM is right that it will cut the amps down, but the motor will still provide the same power. You are right on the edge of your weight rating. You may need a bigger motor. #6 cable will provide up to 60 amps. The upsizing of the wire was bs. You could probably run the motor with #12 wire. What is the nameplate data on the motor.

HP rating?

The nameplate should read something like this:

220/120 VAC, 2/4.5 amps

If I read your post correctly you are trying to lift 4650 lbs with a 4000 lb lift
