Folding engine stand is great, July 20, 2009

diesel engines, March 24, 2009
By pumpman from Lafayette, LA

"I use this stand to rebuild Lister and Duetz engines And I am very pleased with it. All other stands that I have used before had to be modified. This stand rolls very easy even with 1200 lbs engine on it. It is worth every dollar."

Good crane., June 3, 2008
By dig060504 from San Antonio, TX

"Crane is really sturdy. Has some pretty ugly welds, but it is holding up so far. Assembly was quick and easy.
Word of advice- Lube up the casters/bearings before assembly. They were all really dry and grinding, but some all purpose lube did the trick.
All in all, I would buy again if I had to get rid of mine. Nice knowing it's rated to 1500 lbs."

great product , great price, April 21, 2008
By scooter27 from dallas/ft.worth TX

"i rebuild ALOT of marine engines and i have been using this engine stand for awhile and i must say that i really like it.
it holds a fully dressed marine v-8 with no problems at all.
it rolls very easy with an engine on it.
the only problem , well not really a problem but the only thing i didn't like too much is the little pin they use to hold it in place.
Course i just use a big bolt which works perfect.
it is an awesome engine stand at an awesome price."

Torin Folding Engine Stand, January 14, 2008
By Vini63 from Chino Hills, CA

"The engine stand turned out to be more ruggedly built than expected. The assembly was a breeze and the casters make for easy maneuverability. The folding feature really helps with freeing up floor space."

December 1, 2007
By Ohhiitsme

"ok so this stand is great, but to use it you need to put the engine crane out at max. extention to get the stand under it. and the holes for the bell housing bolts were too long, so i had to go out and buy longer bolts. and the center whell is a bit too low, so it will someetimes interfere with steering the stand around the garage. not a real big deal though. overall its a good stand, heavy duty."

Engine stand, March 7, 2007
By MIKE1 from Suffolk, LI

"Sirs,
I purchased this because the weight rating was sufficient to hold the block of a 6 cyl Isuzu diesel that I'm rebuilding. I was unable to utilize the stand for two reasons;
1- the brackets provided did not have holes big enough to fit the bell housing bolts so I'll need to fabricate custom brackets.
2- the legs are too wide to permit me to move the stand between the lower support feet of the engine hoist. I kept finding myself about 8" to 1" short of making up the stand to the engine when I used the foldable two ton hydraulic lift to hold the engine up as explained in the stands instructions.
Trying to use the stand ...especially because I can't get it close to the hoist.... is very frustrating. I though that this would be an easy stand to use to help facilitate access to the engine for rebuilding. I'm finding it easier to just use the hoist and wood blocking to accommodate the engine.

-Mike"

Over all, a well built stand, February 19, 2007
By slicksilverss from Lower Alabama

"Very sturdy stand. Nice to be able to fold it up out of the way. However some of the welds look like they were made by a third class welder third shift. Effective welds, but very ugly looking."

Good Strong Stand, December 1, 2006
By ToXshoX from Hosmer, SD

"I've purchased this stand due to the fact that it's suppose to hold 1500lbs so I was hoping it was going to be build well instead of those 500lbs stands I've seen that looked like some high school welding student welded it together. This is not the case here this is a good sturdy stand that will hold your motor well. The ping that holds the motor from turning I thought it should be designed a little differently by going through and through instead of holding on one side of the tube. Rolls around well with 1000lbs bolted to it. Very Good Buy I feel."
