You can do it with less than one horsepower. It's all a matter of torque and gear ratios.

To calculate the horsepower needed to move 500 lb, you would also need to know the speed at which the weight is being moved. The formula to calculate horsepower is (Force x Distance) / Time. So without the speed or time parameter, it is impossible to provide an exact answer.
