Tru,
There are several varations of the 220 plugs as you know, but they should all be very different from a 110 plug. And never run an electric motor on a lower voltage than it is designed for. A year or so ago my lights dimmed and I took a meter and the 110 had dropped to just 50/55 volts so I ran outside and shut off my breakers, then called the power company. Before they got the transfromer replaced, I know of 11 refrigerators and freezers that the motors burned up in. Any heavy duty lift should be 220 and not 110. Don't even run the lift on 110 to try it. It should also have a heavy duty cord. If you have an electric clothes dryer that you can loook at, look at the cord and plug on it or an electric kitchen range. Also don't believe it when somone tells you that if you use 440 it will lift twice as fast.
