I had a 300£ engine crane before this one which I sold before I moved house . Now I need one again and got this thinking it was a throw away job after a few uses . I was hugely wrong . It's a hell of a piece of kit. It's more useable that my expensive one and you can go sideways when wheels are down. It also is safer when in the parked position so I'm not scared of it falling over . I have updated the wheels to ones with bearings from screwfix as they didn't have bearings . Nothing was wrong with them but It was the finishing touch to such a nice crane . God knows how they price them so well.

Great value for money but some false economies made that would cost cents to rectify at the factory. The lift had no trouble removing a range rover engine and gearbox. This lift is larger than I expected and for standard car use I feel that I may have been wise to buy the with the smaller version. If you don't need the 2 Tonne lift then perhaps consider getting the smaller one. This lift does the job but there are a couple of things that require attention. The wheel axles are rough and needed greasing before assembly. Make sure you put the nuts that hold the casters on the topside. If you don't everything seems fine until there is weight on the lift then the casters press down on the nuts and the swivel action is locked out. The moving end of the hydraulic ram acts on the thread of a bolt (whole length of bolt is threaded) and there is no spacers supplied to keep the ram pushing point on the centre of the bolt. I replaced the bolt high tensile shank bolt and some spacers. Much better. The jack handle is mild steel and the dogs that turn the valve are easily bent. Use plain end in jack. The coating on the main body is tough but the jack handle has just a lick of red paint (not powder coat) that just rubs off. No leaks and holds position. Great lift height when book if extended,Read full review

Good product lifts engine with ease. Much better than the earlier one I returned with bits missing More washers would be good to protect the crane on both sides of the bolts. I had some readerly available so used some of those.

Very quick delivery, easy assembly every nut and bolt was there. I bought the two ton version that can fold up taking less ground room not that I can see myself lifting more than one ton. It is certified to lift two ton but was supplied with only a one ton lifting hook I think this needs to be investigated . The build quality is very good and has a good paint Finnish. You will need to grease all the wheel swivels and spindles and any swivel pins as they will be dry. Apart from the hook it's a great bit of kit witch will make my life a lot easier,go buy one well worth the money.
