1 Tonne Hydraulic Folding Engine Crane Hoist 1000KG Floor Stand Lift Jack for Garage Car Workshop Lifting Tools Foldable Frame Caster Wheels, Grey

Brilliant little crane and ideal for diy enthusiasts who don’t wanna spend too much. The instructions are difficult to read but apart from that the whole package is great.

Amazing quality and well built easy to install great price highly recommended

Many of the reviews for this complained about bolt hole issues and other quality faults but my one is fine. Im very happy with the crane for its price. Works and definitely worth buying. I only really have two complaints. First was the anssembly instructions. They are useless so I kept having to swap bolts around to find the correct ones for each hole. The other issue is the jack arm, it protrudes from the side so gets in the way when you are trying to finesse the engine in or out.

This is decent value. Well made (ignore folk complaining the holes are not aligned, they are if you relax the nuts and then tighten). Instructions are laughable, refer to the spare parts diagram on the back of the leaflet and you’ll see exactly where everything goes. Yes, there is the odd light scratch (in my case I think from transit) but the paint is thick enough and seems good quality. It comes in two boxes, the long one of which was rather trashed on delivery but all was still inside. Once you get your head around that parts diagram it this is easy to assemble. I’ve not pushed it hard - my fly press only weighs around 150kg, but it lifted this with ease. Was also reasonably easy to move about once the weight is borne, which in my cramped workshop was a boon. The castors are metal and durable. It folds up nicely. As others have mentioned, a little standardisation of bolt and nut sizes wouldn’t have hurt at all, but really at this price if it does what you expect don’t complain. You only assemble it once. I think mine is a keeper so long as I have room. Something useful maybe once every couple of years, but when it is needed…

This item was a nightmare to put together . It takes 2 people . The instructions made no sense so had to wing it . Took a while . Once put together very sturdy was easy to move around and collapse but leave plenty of time to put together 😵‍💫🤦‍♀️

I bought this to move a heavy piece of equipment around. The hoist arrived well packed and in good time but it was a few weeks before I could get round to building it. The assembly instructions are pretty sparse but with the help of a couple of adjustable wrenches I got the job done. That’s when I discovered that one piece had been incorrectly drilled. I contacted the seller with some photos and they kindly replaced the entire unit! I’m very happy with this level of customer service and since the new hoist worked perfectly I’m happy to award an unusually high numbers of stars.

Poor assembly instructions and ram did not work. Still waiting for replacement

Great value bit of kit. Ended up costing the same as renting one for a couple of days, so buying made far more sense. A lot of reviews mention poor instructions or holes not lining up - that’s user error. The manual has a clear exploded diagram showing which bolts go where. Not sure on a bolt size? Just measure it. And if holes don’t match, it’s because you’ve already tightened things down too early. As with any metal frame, loosely fit everything first, then tighten once it’s together. The kit itself works well, packs down neatly, and is surprisingly easy to carry. Only thing worth noting is the legs don’t lock when folded, so a bungee cord helps keep them in place. The finish on the welds isn’t perfect, but at this price you can’t expect premium - and it does the job without issue. Worth noting, the delivery came in two parcels on two separate days.
