Torin T32002 engine hoist
This Torin Big Red T32002 is a 2 ton engine hoist that can be used for all sorts of works, starting from lifting engines, transmissions, car body parts to other heavy shop equipment. This engine hoist comes with a load leveler, which makes lifting of loads a lot more easier, and we suggest using a load leveler also for other hoists. Engine hoist comes dismounted in a box for easier shipping, so you will need to assemble it and may require some assistance for the process. Torin lifter comes with assembly and usage instructions so assembly shouldn’t cause any problems.

Frame

Torin T32002 engine hoist is made from durable steel plates welded together to make a square shaped tubes. The maximum lifting capacity of the tool is 2 tons (4000 lb). The steel used in this hoist has got a high quality and the welds also look very good, so you should expect a long life time of the tool even with continuous usage. The whole construction and design of the hoist makes it stable and you don’t feel that hoist would struggle when lifting loads. Behind the mast there is a moving handle that allows for easier movement of the hoist. This Torin lifter features a foldable design and the length of the hoist can be decreased by over 30 inches (76 cm), which is useful for those working in an area with a limited space. Also when hoist is in a folded position, it can be easily moved around, because casters are still located under the hoist.

Jack

Torin 32002 engine hoist is equipped with an 8 ton (16000 lb) hydraulic jack. The jack comes assembled and you just need to screw the bottom mount on the mast and top mount on the boom. The hydraulic ram allows to lift heavy loads with ease. The lifting mechanism of this hydraulic jack is very similar to one in other engine hoists, to lift a load insert a lifting bar into a special mount on the bottom of the jack and start pumping the bar, this will increase the pressure inside the ram and it will start to lift the boom. Remember to close the bleed valve before lifting, or else the hydraulic jack won’t start lifting. To lower a load slowly open the bleed valve.

Legs and wheels

This lifter has got two steel legs that can be detached from the hoist. This allows to fold both legs in an upright position for storage and secure them into position with locking pins. Under the legs this hoist has got 6 casters – two on the back, two under the mast and two on the front under legs of hoist. All casters can be turned 360 degrees, which allows to move the hoist in any direction. Casters have durable bearings and move easily even when holding a load.

  1. 2 ton (4000 lb);
  2. 1.5 ton (3000 lb);
  3. 1 ton (2000 lb);
  4. ½ ton (1000 lb).
