Questions We Get a Lot
Most full-size V8 engines weigh between 400 and 700 lbs, so a 1-ton hoist offers enough headroom for the engine itself. However, if you're working with larger truck engines, diesel blocks, or need extra safety margin, our 2-ton folding engine hoist or the 2,000 Lb. Capacity Engine Hoist with Telescopic Legs gives you more working capacity and added stability. Always factor in the weight of any attached components like the transmission when choosing your capacity.
Yes — the Red Steel 500Lb Pickup Truck Hydraulic Hitch Mount Crane is specifically designed to bolt into a standard 2-inch receiver hitch, making it a practical option for those who don't have room for a floor-standing shop crane. It's best suited for lighter engines and components up to 500 lbs. If you need higher capacity or more maneuverability inside a garage bay, a freestanding hoist on caster wheels is the more versatile choice.
Folding hoists like our 2 Ton Folding Cherry Picker are built from heavy-duty steel and use the same hydraulic ram mechanism found on fixed-frame models — the fold points are reinforced joints, not weak spots. The 6 iron caster wheels provide solid positioning on flat garage floors. That said, folding hoists are designed to fold for storage convenience only, and should always be fully locked into the open position before any lift.
Engine hoists ship free on most orders within the Continental U.S. — please note this excludes Alaska and Hawaii. If something isn't right with your order, we offer 30-Day Returns so you have time to inspect the product in your own garage. For full details on how returns are processed, please refer to our Return Policy page.
About Our Engine Hoists
At Next Space Garage, our engine hoist lineup is built around one idea: giving you the lifting power and control to do serious engine work without leaving your own garage. The 2,000 Lb. Capacity Engine Hoist with Telescopic Legs delivers adjustable reach for tight engine bays, while the 2 Ton Folding Cherry Picker Shop Crane packs six iron caster wheels and a heavy-duty steel frame into a design that stores flat when the job is done. For truck owners and mobile mechanics, the Red Steel 500Lb Hitch Mount Crane turns any 2-inch receiver hitch into a capable lifting point. Every hoist in this collection uses a hydraulic ram system for controlled, smooth lifts — no jerking, no guessing. Whether you're doing a weekend engine swap or running a small-scale repair shop, these hoists are sized and priced for real garage use. Pair them with our car lifts and garage shelving to build out a complete, functional workspace.
