Erallus 10 Posted October 4, 2019 Hey all, Looking at this one, as I have some vouchers: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cfc100-1-tonne-folding-workshop-crane/ Anyone used this and can recommenced? Given the weight of a VR6 engine, it looks like a 1 ton crane will be plenty. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) That looks just like mine, except mine is old and very well used, bought 2nd hand years ago and lives outside, it needed the hydraulic fluid topped up a couple of years ago but is still going strong, lifted a complete VR6 engine out last week without any problems Edited October 5, 2019 by easypops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted October 5, 2019 Thats the exact one I have very good crane, made easy work of removing me engine and box a few weeks back....I would highly recommnd using the load leveller as well https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cll500-load-leveller/ FYI Keep an eye on ebay they come up quite regular...got mine for £50 only used once Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush 10 Posted October 6, 2019 https://www.sgs-engineering.com/ec2000-esll-hoisting-lifting-set I got that set a couple of years ago. Decent quality, and black finish looks good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erallus 10 Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks all. Anyone think this engine stand would be okay for a vr6: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163889971742 Vr6 and gearbox should weight around 220 kg so should be plenty of this takes 350 kg . I like sealey stuff as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted October 7, 2019 I recently bought this https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153583816018 To allow me to put my engine on my stand, I’m not saying that it won’t fit on the original stand but this made it feel really safe.

Can’t upload pictures unfortunately Nice one, I've seen similar for sale on the eurowise site, but that's in USA. Bought the one you linked, cheers for this Edited October 7, 2019 by Erallus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
