Project Engine Hoist (a Fine Addition to my Tools) ......joinami

[joinami]

Nice project
Do u think it can lift an engine??

now you can see its lifting 2.2 Litre Diesel Engine with Turbo installed*

[joinami]

Bro the 90 degree rod need some more support from the floor as mentioned in the above pic and its very imp as the whole weight will be bear by this single rod u need some more support......
And do check it by lifting more weight than normal or heavy engine which ever u think its gonna lift one day to assure its strength before lifting any engine..
Anyhow it just loved ur work such a clean and unique job

Thanks dear and Reinforcement is still to be done as main idea is to make it Fold able and ready to install so every thing is being added after some effort and calculations.

Yes dear it can*
see as it is still in Completion phase but still it is lifting a 2.2 litre diesel engine with weight all things..

some more

how much high it can lift ? also hydrollic jack looks so small.

very nice and impressive work.

Good progrese

Make Sure To Stress Test It Before Doing Real Job...

A Very Handy Tool I Say For DIY'ers

thanks farrukh Bhai.*
Yes definately i will check the maximum stress . also planning to Reinforce it more as my first planned Swap is very heavy one.*

[joinami]

some more adventure with the hoist*

[joinami]

[taskheershamas]

very nice project and best wishes for the end result.

[multitask]

must add tilter too.

A few observations bro! One, you hoist will not lift the engine up enough to clear the engine bay because you have used a short length jack, which i think, even when extended fully, will only raise the lifting end of the arm by a foot at max.
Two, your jack is placed very low on the vertical support column, meaning, it's already more than 50% extended when the lifting arm is not even raised, that is, when it is parallel to the ground.
Three, you can increase the displacement of the moving arm greatly in proportion to the displacement of the jack piston by moving the jack piston closer to the fulcrum. But you will lose mechanical advantage in this configuration.
Fourth and last, the span of this hoist on the ground is very broad. It appears that if it were to be pushed under a vehicle, the front end of the hoist would come directly in line with the tyres of the car, preventing it to be pushed far enough to bring the lifting mechanism on top of the engine.

Jst a few observations, I hope you won't think I'm being too critical!!

I really appreciate your concern and the front is wishfully designed so broad to enter some specific width and its clearance is designed keeping in mind some special factors .
*rest it is tested to take engine out of a Jeep clearing its engine bay and the height is kept to be adjusted to increase the height as the main column is designed to cater diffrent heights requirements.

thanks for your interest .
this will give you some idea of the height and it can further be increased by using the movable load bearing road .

Please look on the above pictures, it is the max height but if needed can be increased more.
Thanks for taking interest.

Oh GREAT...!!! well engineered. If you don't mind i want to ask that "small jack idea was yours or taken from somewhere else".

If you have an SUV - its best to invest in making a transmission jack. WIth such a jack one person is required to remove the iron case LR defender or Nissan Safari trans+transfer.

If you drive SUVs you know how big of hulks they are.

btw - this is good work, love it - but for future sake, find yourself a more HD lifting ram. This one does not look too promising.
