Harbor Freight Engine Hoist Modification
How to make it more useful around the shop?
What I did to make it more useful around the shop, was to modify it into a crane. By making it into a crane it allows 2 things:
1. Get my money’s worth out of the tool by making it more useful
2. Allows me to lift heavy things and more them around with relative ease.
Check out the video to see what mods I made to the engine hoist.
So, I posted this video link on Reddit and Grassroots Motorsports and got some great ideas. One of the ideas is to add a wench to the crane, so I picked a hand-crank wench from Harbor Freight today. Say tuned. I plan to add the wench to the crane so that it has even more flexibility. A wench will all the crane to lift, without the need to raise or lower the arm. This will keep the arm out of the way when I am trying to reach over the rails of a pick etc.
