Cant for the life of me find these! Need one for engine removal and it looks like exactly what I need for my 2 poster.

Looks much like the things we use for lugging heavy things around at work. Something like this:

I got given one of those about 8 years ago. They were chucking it out at work as it no longer lifted. I took it home, topped up the empty reservoir and it has been bloody useful ever since. 150kg limit, so brilliant for gearbox/axle removal, slightly under spec for heavier engines. The handle unbolts, so can slide it right under the car.

If you live near Norwich, you are welcome to borrow it for a while...

Thanks for the offer but I want to buy one to keep permanently to be honest. Makes sense to have one if you drop your engine from the bottom.
