If they weren't able to apply TQ at 0 RPM, they would never start moving.

You can hook up a hand wheel and try to crank the hoist up/down, but nope. It will apply full torque if it needs to, to hold that thing right where it is. Full torque at 0 RPM.
I guess that's true. I didn't think about it like that!
