i`ve just come into possession of a 1 ton engine lift, ideal for engines but has a verity of other uses too.
im going to offer this out to hire £20 for a weekend, obviously collected from my house in rhyl - the lift will fit in a std hatchback as it collapses down.
proper sturdy lift and also has an adjustable load leveller that sits over your lifting points and you can adjust the centre of gravity so that the engine comes out level or at an angle, this is yet to be used as im a cowboy and use rope or old seat belts
crane
PM for details
