800kg Folding Engine Stand 1763lb Heavy Duty Workshop Auto Crane Hoist Motor

An engine sitting on a pallet is a job half-stopped: no access underneath, nothing to rotate against, and an awkward lift every time it has to move. Mounted on a folding stand with a rotating head, the same block sits at a height where the work actually goes quickly.

Room to work on all four sides

Bolt the block to the adjustable arms and the whole engine turns through 360 degrees, so the sump face, the bellhousing and the timing cover come to you rather than the other way around. The mounting head adjusts to clamp the rear of the engine, and because the arms move independently the stand suits a range of bolt patterns instead of one. Heavy gauge steel mechanical tubing gives the frame its stiffness, which matters because a stand that flexes under a rotating load is a stand you quietly stop trusting.

Packs down when the bay is needed

The folding-leg design is the practical half of this thing. Between rebuilds the frame collapses and leans against a wall, which is the difference between a stand you keep and one that gets sold on after a single job. The red powder coat is maintenance rather than decoration: engine stands live under drips of coolant and oil, and a coated tube wipes clean instead of staining and rusting at the joints. Bolt-together construction also means the frame breaks down further if it has to travel in a boot rather than a ute tray.

• Independently adjustable arms: set once to your bolt pattern, then left alone.
• Folding legs: the stand stores flat between rebuilds.
• Steel mechanical tubing frame: tube construction to resist twist under an off-centre load.

Mounting an engine without a scare

• No certification, standard or test rating is named for this stand in the supplied information. The 800 kg figure is the supplier's claim and nothing more.
• Confirm the engine's wet weight, ancillaries and gearbox included, before it goes on the arms.
• Do not work beneath a mounted engine, and keep the rotation head locked whenever the block is not being turned.
• Use correctly graded bolts of the right length into the block. Those four fasteners carry everything.
• Set the stand on flat, solid ground before loading it.

Suits workshop and home rebuild work where an engine needs a stable home for the length of a project. Match your engine's weight to the rating before committing to the lift.
