Looking for an engine lift but?

[Cuthy246]

I have one of the chinese specials. Welds were ok, first thing I did was replace all the bolts with 8.8's as the supplied were all 4.4's. Lifted about 1500kg with it moving a machine at work. Hit a bit of gravel and it bent one of the castor wheel plates but the frame was solid.

I think they are Chinese tons!

I got a 2nd hand ex army Harvey frost off ebay for £50 it's supposed to be 1ton with the jib fully in but will lift a ton jib out. Its built like a tank.

i just found an SGS 2ton

I bought one of these and it has been really useful and happily lifted everything I have used it for and I felt it was well within its capabilities lifting one end of a discovery 1 or similar

it is a bit big and takes more space when folded up than the bil clarke 1 ton but I got it because of the extended reach that has come in handy picking things out of the back of cars and vans or even putting them in

in fact it is so useful that one of my sons borrowed it and has had it for almost a year now
