ForceFlow does your dewalt have dual speeds?
If so, set your slider to “1” and try it
I built the exact lifting system and my dewalt lifts with no issues but must be set to “1” on the top as the speed selector
If set on “2” it struggles

On 2, it will strain for a moment, and then eventually give a ratcheting pop.
On 1, it will just give a whole chain of rapid ratcheting pops.
Got it. As mentioned, those are not “speeds”. It’s a built in clutch that (purposefully) stops the drill head from turning at a certain resistance. 15 being lowest and 1 being highest. It’s there to be able to properly seat screw depth for a variety of fasteners. Without it, you would bury them sometimes or leave them proud others. Setting the clutch allows you to simply squeeze the trigger and “know” the drill will stop at a preset depth every time. No matter how long you hold down the trigger.
What you need is to set it to the image you see below. That REMOVES the clutch front the equation. The only speed adjustment you have on that drill is the “1” and the “2”. Set yours on “1” for lifting purposes
Oh, and be careful first time … you’ll be surprised by how much torque that drill has when the clutch is not engaged!
