As i seem to inadvertently fallen into being an AMC engine procurer, I think its time I stopped begging & borrowing engine hoists and got my hand in my pocket. It obviously is only going to see infrequent use, im not a garage, so it doesnt have to be heavy duty and built for industrial use, but a 360/401 weighs in at about 275kg, so it cant be lightweight either, also needs decent height to get it up into a lifted CJ or Bastard, and be collapsible, so far I have come up with this:

kms hoist

any views? TBH its cheaper new than most seem to be 2ndhand, but then i cant see where it differs on specs.

I know u get what u pay for, but im tryin to temper that with the profit margins

Cheers

Ps. if anyone is sellin ...........

Pps. Or Tank is shoppin ..........

It weighs 80 kilos. It will cost an arm and a leg to ship.

Go for it, if you don't have to pay for delivery, it's a deal.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:32:36 PM »

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:33:59 PM »

It obviously is only going to see infrequent use,

Only about 1 V8 per week.

Let me know how you get on with it dood.

I'm gonna have to replace my Machine Mart one with one with a longer reach/higher lift/more weight capacity.
