As the title says... these were bought from a Ford dealership a while back on a whim... I have tried researching this model and anything remotely like it isnt as as solidly built.. (they start at $445 or so) $450 OBO Hoist View attachment 20387 $150 Engine Stand View attachment 20382 Yes you can get em cheaper but try to get ones as solid as this.. Go to Harbor freight if you want a $90 engine hoist. :hsugh:
hoist arm move able? if so is there a lbs rating on each point the arm is adj?? exp. 500lbs next adj point is like 1000 then 1500 then 2000
"They" aren't. But then again, looks like you could safely lift an entire subaru with that rig. my cheapass hoist does well, but the most it's ever seen was the yota 4-cyl and 5MT, which I doubt was even 200lbs. That thing is beefy. looks like someone got in there with a welder and some serious steel and reinforced the base.
its how it comes.. the hoist is a rotunda hoist primarily used to pull Diesel engines.. they kinda weigh a little more than a 4cyl toyota motor... That thing is designed to extend the lifting arm, and all 4 legs to widen the stance for stability... here is an example of a cheaper style for those who seem to know it all... http://www.toolfetch.com/Category/Shop_Equipment/Engine_Hoists/106200.htm similar design but pretty pissy looking even at 2 Tonne capacity.. (notice price and lower build quality) oh and the PRICE! this isnt a little cheap setup... even this is not as well built but look at this price... http://www.handsontools.com/Norco-78106A-2500-lb-Capacity-Folding-Engine-Crane_p_5838.html
