Engine hoists are a specialty crane required for safe lifting of engines, transmissions and other automotive bulky and heavy parts. Safety is the first concern when working around cars, and the right lifting equipment is a great place to start. Every auto and truck workshop can benefit from the use of an A Plus Warehouse engine hoist.
Our engine hoists are specialty cranes that straddle the vehicle and allow a hook to be attached to the auto or truck part being lifted or removed. Our engine hoist thinks nothing of lifting an engine from 500 pounds all the way to 6000 pounds for our heaviest duty engine hoist. Just imagine the problems there would be with people working at odd angles to lift a 500 pound motor. The money invested in an engine hoist makes great sense – it ranks right up there with a hydraulic lift that raises the vehicle so a maintenance person can work on a vehicle standing up.
Of course there are many other related items A Plus Warehouse sells for the vehicle maintenance industry along with our fine quality engine hoists. Hazardous materials go along with maintenance. Oils, paint, thinners, and gasoline are a few of the hazardous fluids that can be stored, dispensed and cleaned up using A Plus Warehouse equipment. We provide flammable and corrosive safety cabinets as well as spill containment products. Of course OSHA can be a bother at times, but at the root – these rules are in place so workers , students , customers , and business owners alike can all be safe in an industrial environment. Safety should be the first issue when dealing with potentially dangerous situations – and working on heavy equipment is, by nature potentially dangerous- especially when people are working near an engine lifted by our engine hoist.
One an engine is taken from a vehicle by our engine hoist, it often needs to be stored out of the way. We stock industrial racks nationwide that allow storage of heavy, bulky items like engines and transmissions. You may well want to order a section of our structural pallet racks which allow you to store up to 11,000 pounds on a 10 foot wide shelf. There is no heavier duty rack manufactured. Our heaviest duty level is manufactured from 5 inch structural steel. These racks are virtually indestructible. Of course , we also provide dollies , platform trucks and all styles of carts to help move heavy items handled by our engines hoists. We also stock industrial casters for those who prefer to produce their own carts from raw materials. It is fairly easy to produce a wood or steel portions of a cart , but casters need to be fabricated by a specialty manufacturer .
So, when you need an engine hoist or other engine hoist equipment , you are well served to call A Plus Warehouse at 800-209-8798 or use our website. Our site is very easy to use and our sale people have extensive training in lifting equipment in general and engine hoists specifically. We sell nationwide , and are prepared to help any way we can.
