2.1 CONCEPT SOLUTION

Hydraulic engine hoist is a type of hoist that uses hydraulic system for lifting loads. It is made of a heavy duty steel construction and has got a hydraulic jack that does the lifting part of the tool. Most hydraulic engine hoists have wheels below the tool, so they can roll across the floor which allows to use this type of hoist practically anywhere, the surface on which hoist can be used must be level and firm, so hoist does not start to sink in under a load. The hydraulic engine hoists have foldable designs and can be fully disassembled. Foldable design means that legs of the hoist can be lifted upwards and the boom can be lowered down to significantly reduce the length of the tool, allowing for easier storage when the tool is not being used. Changing the tool from working to folding position and back takes a very little time because of its quick and convenient locking pin system.

Advantages of the Hydraulic Engine Hoist:

Ø A hydraulic engine hoist is certainly faster and will allow lifting a load quicker.

Ø Hydraulic engine hoist have higher lifting capacities when working with very heavy weights.

Ø Hydraulic systems are powerful, precise, reliable and durable, and they are one of the best systems when it comes to handling heavy loads.

Ø The only area requirements for using a hydraulic engine hoist is that there must be a firm and level surface, so the hoist can be used on a floor indoors, on concrete or asphalt outdoors and even on a firm ground surface outdoors.

Ø This machine is pretty easy to operate once the hoist has been assembled.

Ø Most hoists can be folded or fully disassembled for easier and more compact storage.

Ø Hydraulic engine hoist is cheaper than electric hoists with similar lifting capacities.
