Product Information
Full details
The US PRO Engine Hoist Load Leveller is a vital tool for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who need to safely remove or install engines with uneven weight distributions. By attaching to a standard workshop crane, this leveller allows you to achieve precise tilt adjustments via a simple handle, ensuring your engine remains balanced throughout the entire extraction or installation process; however, it requires a secure overhead mounting point on the crane and must be used strictly within its 900kg weight capacity to prevent mechanical failure.

FAQs
Does this leveller fit all engine hoists?
It is designed to fit the vast majority of workshop cranes equipped with a standard lifting hook.
Can I use this for transmission removal only?
Yes, it is excellent for balancing transmissions or any off-center load that falls within the 900kg weight limit.
How do I ensure the engine stays secure?
Always double-check that the chain brackets are bolted firmly to the engine block lifting points before lifting.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Keep the threads lubricated with grease and store the unit in a dry location to prevent rust.
What is the maximum weight this can handle?
The leveller is rated for a maximum capacity of 900kg.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Clean the threaded lead screw and apply fresh machine grease to reduce friction.
Engine is tilting unevenly
Check that all four chains are of equal length and that mounting brackets are securely tightened to the engine block.
Chains are slipping under load
Ensure the bracket bolts are fully tightened and check for any signs of fatigue on the chain links or hooks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simplifies engine removal in tight engine bays
- High 900kg weight capacity for diverse engine types
- Durable steel construction ensures long-term reliability
- Precise adjustment reduces the risk of bodywork damage
Cons
- Adds significant vertical height, requiring taller hoist clearance
- Requires manual operation that can be physically demanding
- Not suitable for engines exceeding the 900kg limit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the leveller, attach the central eyelet to your hoist's hook and connect the four brackets to the engine. Before applying full weight, ensure all chain links are free of twists and the adjustment screw is lubricated. Compatibility is broad, as it mounts to any crane with a standard lifting hook. For maintenance, regularly inspect the chains for stretched links or corrosion, and apply a high-quality grease to the main threaded rod to ensure the handle turns smoothly under load.
