Jib crane motor selection

[dsr123]

I have a manually operated jib crane and need to motorized to rotate 360 degree.
Span = 4m
Load capacity = 0.5 tons
Height = 4m

My question is how to calculate the required power of motor.

Thank you

How quickly do you want to lift the load?

Is your question about LIFTING the load, or about ROTATING the jib crane structure about it's pivot axis?
