I've lifted plenty of inline engines with my crane, but never a Type IV, or any other flat engine. I need to do this to load it into a truck for shipping. I was thinking of making a sling out of webbing, or something similar. Anyone have any comments?

I bolted one of these into my pickup truck last year... it's awefully handy for $100. You can hoist an engine out of a conventional (front engined car) and drop it right down into the bed of the truck. It's rated for 1000lbs and full extension, it will still handle 500lbs.
Really saved my back this last winter moving my wood/metal shop, +2 engines (on engine stand!) etc. (IMG:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/37500-37599/37555.gif) |
