Which engine hoist?

[LongLiveTheNova]

As above.

Two clarke ones on Machine Mart, both same price, but one lifts 1/2 tonne and the other lifts 1 tonne?
But the 1/2 tonne one lifts higher than the 1 tonne one,lol.

Which to choose? Hmmm.

[Mark T]

go with at least a 1 tonne.

the lifting capacity reduces with extension.

with my 1 tonner at a good reach, it's rated for 1/4 tonne.


I've got the Sealey one.

Ian T has a 2 tonner, and that pumps up on the upstroke and downstroke so lifts faster.

As said above, go with the biggest capacity as the higher you lift the harder the hoist has to work

[LongLiveTheNova]

Ok, cheers.

[MarkyG]

i got the 1 tonne, if you can wait for it to arrive, theres one on "tools by post" that is the same spec and comes with a free load leveller, which I had to buy separately.

[LongLiveTheNova]

Should i get the Clarke 1 tonne or Sealey 1 tonne.
Theres a machine mart by me, so can collect it.

i have the clarke 1 ton and it lifts with both the up and down and is a solid bit of kit:

[LongLiveTheNova]

Cool.
Might get myself that one then.

[Haynzee]

Got the same one as above. Good tool.

Though a mates borrowed it for a while so did this the other day. Scary stuff when the ladders slip

[Rusty CallyT]

any hoist is good,
