I have an 8 amp 120V motor with a 3 position switch: up, off, and down. You can see some specs and a picture here:

The motor comes with a remote (but not wireless) control switch (approx. 5 ft.). I need to convert this into a wireless (3 position) switch. In addition I need to rewire the “off” setting to run another circuit i.e. all 3 circuits are "live" in that exactly 1 circuit is running whatever the position (each position must be exclusive). Does anyone know of any available components that could be used to set this up nicely?

Nicely might be easy, safely when it comes to hoists is a different issue. A cheap remote control can put you in a situation where the Stop command is not seen and someone gets hit in the head. There are specific wireless hoist controllers that accomplish this safely, but they are not at all cheap.
