Engine Hoist with Lever 2 Ton Folding Cherry Picker - Heavy Duty

In this review of the Engine Hoist with Lever 2 Ton Folding Cherry Picker, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, heavy-duty engine lift for home garages and small shops that need a robust, space-saving solution for lifting engines and transmissions. The biggest reason to buy is the 4000 lb lifting capacity operated by an 8T hydraulic pump, which turns otherwise difficult engine work into something one person can manage safely. The unit also folds for storage and ships with a separate engine leveler to help position loads precisely.

Key Features

• 4000 lb lift capacity: The 8T hydraulic pump is rated to handle heavy engines and gearboxes so lifting large loads is straightforward and less physically demanding.
• Folding design: The hoist folds down after use to reduce footprint and makes it practical for small garages where storage space is limited.
• Sturdy construction: Built from carbon steel with a protective plastic spray, the frame resists corrosion and is durable for use in workshops and warehouses.
• Telescopic boom with hitch: Multiple boom positions let you reach deeper engine bays or reduce reach for compact loads, improving versatility on different vehicles.
• Six caster wheels: The six iron casters roll smoothly and make the crane easy to position under vehicles and around a shop floor.
• Separate engine leveler: The included leveler supports up to 1500 lb and allows fine center-of-gravity adjustments for safe, controlled tilting during installs and removals.

Who It's For

This engine hoist is best for DIY mechanics, home hobbyists, and small repair shops that need a capable, transportable lift without committing to a vehicle hoist. It fits users who value a high lifting capacity combined with a foldable frame so the tool can be stored easily between jobs.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require commercial, daily heavy-cycle lifting with factory service backing or anyone who expects perfect factory instructions and fully pre-assembled fasteners; some customers report issues with instruction quality and missing bolts, so a professional shop that depends on immediate, out-of-the-box perfection might prefer a different spec service package.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 4000 lb rated lift with a robust 8T hydraulic pump for heavy engines and gearboxes.
• Foldable frame saves storage space and keeps a garage tidy when not in use.
• Included engine leveler gives precise control of the load during positioning and tilt operations.
• Six casters and a telescopic boom make the unit mobile and adaptable to different vehicles.

Cons

• Assembly can be hampered by incomplete instructions and some customers reported missing bolts or subpar paint finish.
• Paint quality and small hardware issues reported by multiple users mean a careful pre-use inspection is advised.
