Construction

This Black Bull engine stand is made from heavy duty tubular steel that is painted in neutral black color. Because of this material it is able to withstand weight that is up to ½ ton or 1000 pounds letting you hold most V8 type engine blocks on it while you are repairing the engine itself or the car.
The design of this engine also prevents even the heavies engines from tipping forward and making it harder for you to work with them because the stand is naturally made so that it is leaning back allowing room for the weight of the engine to put a load on the stand, weighting it down, settling it and keeping it straight.

Mounting plate and arms

Because of the adjustable mounting fingers of this engine stand you will be able to mount most engines from US to import ones to them making sure that you can use this engine stand anytime you need to. And the bright orange mounting plate of this engine stand can be rotated 360 degrees with the help of a handle located behind the plate as well as it can be locked in 6 different positions using a locking pin so you can easily hold the engine at an angle that you need to access it easier.

Legs and wheels

Since this is a ½ ton engine stand it is equipped with regular one leg stand that is extended into letter ”H” type shape to provide stability as well as durability of the stand. Under each of the leg extensions there are one caster equipped with solid cast iron wheels that will allow you to easily move even an engine stand with 1000 pound engine on it. And because the two front wheels of the stand are able to swivel in 360 degree angle it makes even easier to position or to steer the stand into the direction you need.

Size and weight

The size of this ½ ton engine stand is 34x8x7.5 inches (86x20x19cm) and it weighs 12.8 lbs (5.8 kg) providing stability of the stand while being compact enough to be stored away when not needed.
