Engine Lift and Stand


I guess that means I've got to figure this head gasket thing out....

It's the other half of the deluxe turkey frying kit. Safely lower turkey in 350 degree oil with minimal injury.

I use mine as a car hoist - for the DSR. Entire car, less driver, weighs around 900#; it spends off days on a car stand, at waist height. In order to put it on the floor for loading on the trailer, I have to hoist it off the stand, and the crane works perfectly!

This gives a bit of an idea...

so this is getting fun - but maybe we should take it the next level. Post a pic of one of your alternate uses of an engine hoist . . .

I used mine for smashing my left hand

Luckily my wedding ring is platinum and didn't crush, I think if it was gold I'd have lost my fingers.

It's a multi positional beer keg extractor. Used to easily and safely remove heavy kegs of beer from vehicle

and position them in your tapping device without heavy lifting and possible injury.
