Garage Engine Crane
The Garage Engine Crane is a mobile hydraulic hoist for lifting engines and gearboxes in and out of vehicles. It has a heavy welded steel frame, full swivel casters and an extending boom, and it is offered with a lifting limit of 0.5 to 2 ton. We build it to order and ship it as a single unit or as part of a bulk load.
Features of this engine crane
- Heavy gauge welded steel frame
- Full swivel casters, so a single operator can position the load precisely
- Extending boom with several length settings
- Wide base for stable, controlled lowering
- Forged steel grab hook
A longer boom setting reaches further into the engine bay, but it also lowers the safe working load, so always check the load chart on the boom before a lift.
Typical operation
Cranes of this type are usually worked by a manual hydraulic hand pump. The ram raises a pivoting boom on a wheeled A-frame, and a release valve lets the load down slowly. The heavy steel boom and legs typically fold for storage. These details are typical for the class, and we confirm them for your order at quotation.
Choosing the right capacity
Most car engines weigh far less than one tonne, although diesel truck engines can be a great deal heavier. Buyers usually ask us for 1 or 2 tonne units for mixed commercial workshops. Tell us the heaviest engine you lift and your floor type, and we will suggest a size.
Stay clear of a raised load, and never work underneath it without proper stands in place. General guidance on safe tool use is in the OSHA hand and power tools safety pages.

A garage transmission jack handles gearbox removal from below. A garage oil collector keeps the floor clean during the job. This crane is listed under Garage Two Wheeler and Hydraulic Tools in our garage workshop equipment range.
