12v Worm or Wiper Motor to Hoist a Bed in a Van?

    Hey folks,

    I'm looking to get a motor for my van, similar to what this guy is using:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpHyLIAWkrU

    The guy mentions it was able to lift the bed with him on it, so that must be about 100KG? I don't need to lift that much myself, but I'd like tolerance for at least 50kg if possible. I'd also need something that would both lift and lower (so reversible direction I guess?). Ideally I'd like something compact too as it's to go in a van which is already restricted on space.

    From a close up in the video I see the details are:

    Model: ZD1633R

    Power: 100W

    Voltage: 12V

    Rated Speed: 50RPM

    Rated Torque: 8N.m

    Reduction ratio: 61:1


    This same one is available here: https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/zd1633r-12v-100w-30-55...

    But it's an Australian Supplier, converted to Euro it works out around €75 which is in budget, but shipping, customs etc will make it closer to €200!

    Unfortunately I know nothing about this kind of thing but I'm hoping somebody here may know something about such motors, worm gear I think they are called and commonly used for window wipers?

    There's all sorts available on Amazon.co.uk etc that could ship to me, but I'm just not sure what I should be looking for within the spec of each.

    If there's any chance to link me to anything that would be the same spec and quality, but available in Ireland or EU so no import duties and cheaper shipping, it would be greatly appreciated!
