A lot of thought went into building that. Interesting.
I just picked up a used cherry picker,verticals filled with water and froze. When i retubed it, i went heavier wall and a foot taller. Now it will suit my needs much better. As well as adding 3 point connectors for my tractor.
Makes moving it a breeze.

Gonna be my one and only.
Nice!
That's nice!
I will have to post a pic of the engine stand I built. It has bearings in the head and you can spin a small block with 2 fingers. I never had much luck with the store bought engine stands. They sag and are hard to spin.
My engine hoist is built like a tank. Its at least 40 years old, back when they made stuff right.

Lets see it. I like the bearings in mine. Makes turning the engine so easy.
I like it
what keeps the cable from slipping off the rollers?
I got a smokin' deal off CL on a modified hoist from a guy who worked on pallet jacks.
He installed a 24v ram in place of the manual ram and ran it from 2 car batteries.
$50 and included a heavy duty engine stand!
I went a step further and replaced the batteries with a computer UPS backup.
Now it is cordless and rechargeable!

My engine hoist has a air powered jack on it. I think its from harbor freight.

I broke my release valve on my old picker. I replaced the long ram assy with that pneumatic one from HF. Absolutely love it
I also bought the air powered ram. Yet to install it.
Have a deep reduction gearbox i want to put on an engine stand.
Will turn with a cordless drill.
This is turning into a good thread. Guess i will have to add a photo or two as well.

I know I'm right....
how about a electric wench at the base? one of those badazz ones that mount on a bumper. too fast? I got no probs with a pump, but the stands suck on a LA, the mounts make it all top heavy. Maybe make a engine plate with the proper LA bolt hole placement.
