New 2 ton Engine Hoist and Engine Stand

[stormforce]

Not bad for £160 delivered.I ordered it on the phone yesterday and about lunchtime and it arrived just after 9a.m this morning.It will lift from 1/2 ton up to 2 ton and the hydrolic arm will lift the end to about 8ft high so it should be ideal for me.

Engine lift.

Hi bought the same package at Xmas will lift a surf engine out no problems at all.

Looking good Richard.......
u can test it next week getting that engine out of the back of my surf haha

[stormforce]

The only trouble with it is that where the engine stand sits over the legs of the hoist theres 2 holes for pin with R clips to go thru to hold it on and the pins aren't quite long enough to go thru.I rang the company up and as i need the hoist this weekend they said its ok to buy a couple on decent bolts to fit and it won't affect the warrenty,they are going to check the other hoist they got and check them aswell to make sure no others have the same prob.
One of the boxes were broken open so i explained to them that the courier couldn't hang about for me to check everything and they said put it together and if anything is missing they would send it out asap.All bits are there so i'm happy with it

Nice looking hoist Richard,

The only thing i will say to you is the engines do NOT feel safe on them engine stands, they may well be but they don't feel it, what bolts have you got to bolt the engine to the stand, you will need some quite long ones and some packing washers to get it set up right, if you can find out what length and size you want ill sort you some out, if you havent got any, and ill give them to Toby next week,

The last time i had one on a stand i had to use cylinder head bolts due to them being long and fine thread.

[stormforce]

Cheers Roy. I will have some head bolts from when i remove the head so i'll give them a try and i got a selection from the other breaker aswell so fingers crossed i should be alrighti can pick up a load of washers if needed.I will try it out at the weekend as i have a short block here so i can try it if the weather is fine that is

Who's the cute young bird?

Thats Harley the blue fronted amazon.
Believe me he may look cute but he is evil as evil can be.I am the only one that can handle him and he still gives me one hell of a bite.

[roylittle0]

he still gives me one hell of a bite.

I know only to well, i have a breeding pair of Orange winged amazons, a breeding pair of Blue fronted amazons (and they aint tame) and a 14 month old hand reared, Maximilan pianus sitting on my shoulder right now and all can make my hands bleed.
