Product Information
Full details
This Engine Crane Hoist from SecureFix Direct is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to lift heavy engines or bulky items in garages and workshops. Its key benefit is making strenuous lifting tasks manageable with its adjustable jib, powerful hydraulic system, and smooth maneuverability. A minor caveat is that it arrives flat-packed, requiring self-assembly. It features a 1000kg capacity, adjustable lifting heights from 110mm to 2m, a robust chain with hook, and six swivel casters for easy movement. Its foldable design makes it space-efficient for storage.

Can I use this hoist for things other than engines?

How often should I check the hydraulic fluid?
It is recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially before critical lifts, and to inspect for any visible leaks.
Troubleshooting
Hoist will not lift
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Verify that the load does not exceed the 1000kg capacity.
Hoist is difficult to move
Ensure all six caster wheels are unobstructed and rotating freely. Check that the load is balanced and not causing uneven pressure.
Hydraulic ram is leaking
Inspect the seals on the hydraulic ram. If leaks are present, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or further assistance. Do not operate if the leak compromises safety.
Jib extension is stiff
Ensure the extension pins are correctly aligned and fully inserted. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the sliding mechanism if necessary.
