I saw this in the flyer, so I checked it out at the store in San Antonio. It is well made and half way light weight. Extends to about 20" with about a 12x14" rubber coated platform. Upper level comes off if needed. It would be a pretty stable platform to work with for engine/trans removal with out having to balance the trans end while lowering jack. I am probably going to get one for me because I do most of my work alone. Price is $189 but with a 20% off coupon brings it down to $150

One other thing - when you pull the engine/tranny from a 914 as a unit, the tranny will hit the handle frame when you only go down a bit. It's not a problem as long as you keep it stable. It could become a big problem if you let it slide off and drop.
This even helps a bit by creating a slight rake on the assembly, making it easier to clear the half shafts and the trunk. Some bailing wire or a ratchet strap can really help keep it in place on there. |
