Engine Stands & CranesAbout Engine Stands & Cranes

An Engine stand is a heavy cantilevered support structure that holds an engine (usually a large gasoline or diesel engine) in midair. It's purpose is to give the mechanic acess to any surface of the the engine. An Engine Crane (or Engine Hoist) is commonly seen in vehicle repair shops and removes or installs gasoline or diesel engines in small and crowded vehicle engine compartments.

Why Do I Need Engine Stands & Cranes?

Once an engine has been removed from the car, it is often heavy, awkward, and dangerous for even the most experienced mechanic to work on. For anyone needing to work on a part of an engine not accessible if it remains in the vehicle, an Engine Stand is a must. With some heavy duty stands holding up to 900kg, Engine Stands are durable, sturdy, and are ensured to put your safety above all else. Engine Cranes are suitable for smaller engines, and do not have the lifting capacity of the Engine Stand. They are easy to use and maneuvere, with heavy duty wheels and holding capabilities. The Engine Crane is often used in conjunction with the Engine Stand so that the engine can be rotated to enable access to the underside of the engine.
