Want To Borrow Engine Crane

[LukeAE71]

Hi guys,

 

I need to borrow an engine crane to lift out my 4AC.

 

Can anyone help?? I would prefer one that folds down to put in car boot but I won't be fussy.

 

Thanks

 

Luke

Cheers it seems there are many block and tackle out there also.

 

I have no support to hang it from. I have heard of a swing set being used though :P

 

Thanks for the offer though.

Where are you located?

 

I am located in Adelaide Hills just out of Woodside.

 

If it is a fold down one it will be easy to move, however can organise trailer if it is not. :y:

if you can't get one seriosly a 4ac motor would be pretty light.

strip it down ot leave it.

length of wood across quarters tie rope around it and with two people... lift!!! unbolt gearbox tho!!

i did this with a k motor. and have done it once with my 20v.

I wouldn't be resting the block of wood on the quarter panels with the engine attached, you could dent it very easy. Sounds good in theory though. I'm sure if you used your mussels you and another person could get it out. I think it weighs about 280kgs with gearbox, 220kg without. I just hired a crane for the day when i lifted my 4ac out. Cost me $54 for 24 hours and they fold up and fit in a station wagon.

yeah i say strip it as much as possible and gather some gorilla's to lift it out.....

Pole, chain and a rope. Makes it possible to remove a 4k and box together, so should be a piece of cake just lifting out a stripped 4AC.

220kg? :y: probs about 120kg theres a thread on toymods telling ya!

and you rest the wood first then tie rope not gonna dent panels cos you can't get that sorta tension unti you lift it!

I've lifted K motors with box on just 2 blokes with rope standing on the quarters.

[LukeAE71]

These are all good suggestions... however still looking for an engine crane.

 

My car is in quite good condition, don't fancy standing on the quarters or anything like that :wink:

 

Plus I need something to lower in the new engine, stuffed if I'm lowering that in by hand with a piece of wood :P
