I just had a delivery!
My engine hoist and free 2 ton trolley jack just arrived!
The guy couldn't lift the hoist and had to use the pallet trolley to lift it to the door where I lifted it up and took it in the house. 74kg's, 2 years back I could have thrown 74kg's, I wasn't to happy abotu carrying it over the road into the house today though!
Let the hoisting things up commence, dinner by hoist etc shall now occur. |

its not to bad.
the legs are removeable, held by pins and split pins so they pop off in seconds. At full extension it lifts over 2 metres on the 250kg's loading. |

to hire one from HSS is 30quid for 2 days.
I reckon 15/20 quid for 2 days is a bargain! |
