big engine hoist

[Dabbler]

John N found me a deal on this engine hoist. I think after rebuilding it and replacing all the fasteners, it will live in his shop. It is 3 ton, and reaches a height of 11'6" Here it is:

@Dabbler : is that so you can leave the vehicle still connected while you hoist? Holy smokes!!!

step 1 : secure vehicle to the ground
Step 2: secure engine hoist
Step 3: remove engine and all fasteners at one time, one lift

caution: hoist known to also remove complete exhaust system with the engine.

Nope, it's to hang deer from for easy butchering....I have 2 of them and have been known to be "in use" at the same time ....actually I have 3 of them so I can still hoist an engine if the other 2 are "busy".

do you still manually pump big ones like that?

Oh yeah. Doesn't take too long as the porta-power pack seems to provide enough fluid to make it to the top in around a minute.
