Engine Cranes

You sometimes see secondhand professional garage cranes for sale on Ebay, whilst very heavy they are far better made than the Machine Mart or SGS ones, although the 2 tonne SGS one should be adequate for home usage. Be prepared to roll the front tyres onto thick wooden planks to raise the car, the 2 tonne one looks to have quite tall "legs" and casters. It may not go under low front bumpers or sub frames. Given a choice I prefer screw thread lifting rather than hydraulic. Although slower you get more precision when lowering an engine and a screw Acme thread is less likely to fail than a Chinese hydraulic ram and pump.
