The best engine hoist for the money which is also called a shop crane is a great tool to have for automotive repairs and around the shop. An Engine Hoist is used to lift an engine out of a car while a shop crane is used to lift heavy objects around the shop. The same tool serves multiple uses.
There are many companies that make Engine Hoists including the Harbor Freight Engine Hoist, OTC Engine Hoist, and the beloved OTC Engine Hoist. The Duralast Engine Hoist is the Best Engine Hoist for The Money.
Another name for an engine hoist is an engine crane. There are many different names such as engine lift and engine crane and shop lifts and shop hoists. The most important feature of a shop crane is to be able to lift heavy objects in the shop or garage. In my opinion, the best engine hoist for the money is the Duralast Engine Hoist.

What warrant does it come with?

The best video i have found on a long boom arm is a KZfaq video comparing a Excalibur Engine hoist vs a Harbor freights Hoist. The Excalibur had a 52 inch reach and the Harbor freights had 41.

Really nice job on the video ,and well explained 👍 i also have this engine hoist and it is really well made . i notices someone made a comment they didnt think it would lift 1 1/8 ton while extended . i can tell you i have moved quite a bit of heavy equipment and machinery ( think oil refineries and large distribution transformers ) and although it wouldn't lift anything like that, i would have no problem trying to lift 1 1/8 ton with the boom fully extended on this hoist , it is that stout. Anyone considering a hoist should definitely look at this one ( i think Harbor Freight just upped their price on their 2 ton hoist and it is more expensive that this one ) The only thing i changed on mine was the bolts that secured the smaller wheels to the frame , the supplied ones were 3/8" long and although these aren't load bearing in any way they really need to be 1/2" minimum ( i went with 5/8" long bolts and used an added washer for spacing ) other than that directions were good and all of the hardware and material were in the box

I almost blindly bought one without realizing the boom horizontal extension is actually short on alot of these hoists. This might be the one i go with. I dont want to take a chance being short. My time is limited as it is so this video helps ALOT

I thought so too. That's why I made sure to point it out and chose this hoist over the other popular brand.

Excellent review! Thanks for your time on this. What is the peak height of the lift at the 1&1/8 position?

Great review. Measurements were really useful to measure against my small garage.

I have a two bay garage and for the amount of use it gets it takes up a lot of space. A shed would be great for starage of thiis hoist.

Swap the center and rear casters. When rolling the hoist without a load, all 6 casters will touch the concrete. When loaded, the rear casters will lift from the concrete. The load will be distributed between the center casters and the fixed casters at the end of the legs. In its current configuration, you essentially have a pinned hinge supporting the weight. After you swap the casters, you will find it much easier to remove the pins from the legs. Engine stands built with a similar design have the smaller casters in the center. The load on an engine stand is much closer to the rear casters than with an engine hoist.

I have this exact same crane except its branded diehard and it's from advance auto instead of autozone. It's also black and blue instead of grey. The packaging was a farce, everything was just shot together in a couple boxes. The nuts and bolts weren't even in bags they were just strewn around inside loose. Despite this it only had a few minor scratches (the powder coat or w/e is on it is really thick) and only one bolt/nut/washer/springwasher were missing. And of course, no where was it indicated that it was devoid of hydraulic fluid. Which i should have realized but...

Probably 1 of the best reviews bro. Good details, good video.. Also will hydraulics hold a decent weight without lowering?

@CTSCAPER 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I haven't put it to the test on anything heavy yet. However, I would recommend putting something to hold the weight if you are going to keep it suspended for a while. Hydraulics aren't designed to hold weight for long periods they are for lifting and lowering things.

@@CTSCAPER true. Yea I'm on my journey now of looking for engine stands. I don't like the duralast 1 so I'm looking for something safe & will work well with this hoist. This is the 1 I'm buying mainly because of the length it has with the carry load.
