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!
