Review

Engine Hoist

This is an amazing hoist for anyone who needs to lift different heavy objects. It is a universal device that is able to lift and lower up to 2 tons of car engines, cement blocks and all other heavy objects. So use it in your garage, while doing construction or anytime else you need to lift very heavy objects, and you won’t have to rely on others to help you lift something ever again.

This particular engine hoist comes with extremely durable steel construction, capable hydraulic hack, boom that can be extended to increase the hoist’s lifting capacity and foldable design that provides easier storage of this STKUSA hoist.

On top of that there is a 12-inch forged steel chain with a 5/16 of an inch hook at the end of the boom, that will help you lift your heavy objects easier and will make sure that there is no chance that the load somehow falls off the hook.

Frame

Premium steel is used to construct this engine hoist which means that the hoist and its frame will be reliable and durable. In fact, the steel that is used to make this hoist is 0.3125 inches thick, which means that you don’t have to worry about the frame of the hoist breaking or bending over, as long as you comply with the capacity restrictions that this engine hoist has.

Ram

The ram of this engine hoist is able to withstand up to 8 tons, which means that it won’t lose efficiency even if you will be lifting 2 ton engines or other objects. But since it is a hydraulic ram with a manual hand pump, you will have to operate it yourself to be able to lift and lover loads with this engine hoist.

Legs and wheels

engine hoist

Both main legs of this engine hoist are made from 3 by 3-inch square steel tubes, making sure that the hoist is able to support a lot of weight. The two legs are formed in kind of V-shape with an additional support beam going across them, so the hoist can provide added stability and you can be sure that it won’t tip over even when you are lifting 2-ton loads. And there are 6 3-inch in diameter casters under the legs, that all swivel in 360-degree angle providing extra easy maneuvering and moving of the hoist, so you won’t have any problems to steer the hoist in any direction.

Boom

The boom of this STKUSA engine hoist is extendable, which means that you can easily raise the capacity of your hoist from ½ ton with closed boom to 2 tons with extended boom. Additionally, also the lifting range increases when the boom is extended from 48 inches with closed boon to 102 inches with it extended. So you can go from having a lighter capacity hoist to having one with 4000-pound capacity in seconds.

Size and weight

Since this is a foldable design engine hoist you can use it in its full capacity and then fold it up for storage, so you can save space and don’t have to worry about the hoist taking up too much room. The hoist dimensions will be 65 by 41 by 37 inches when it is fully assembled and ready to use, but once you fold it up, the size of it will shrink to only 58 by 37 by 22 inches. And the weight of this hoist is 140 pounds which is not too bad for an engine hoist of this capacity.
