Engine Hoist
An automotive engine hoist, also known as an engine crane, is a specialized tool used to lift and remove an engine from a vehicle and lower the replacement engine in its place. This device is typically made of high-strength steel and consists of a vertical mast, a horizontal boom, and a hydraulic cylinder that provides the lifting force. The function of the engine hoist is to allow safe removal of an engine from a vehicle for repair or replacement, without the need for excessive disassembly or physical strain. The hoist is positioned over the engine compartment, and the boom is extended to reach the engine. The engine is then secured to the boom with chains or other lifting devices, and the hydraulic cylinder is activated to lift the engine out of the vehicle. The engine hoist is typically equipped with wheels for easy maneuverability and may include various attachments and adapters to accommodate different engine types and configurations.
