Hey, do you think i can get away with pulling an m20 motor and tranny with a 200kg hoist? Cheers.

200kg is 440lb. a dressed engine weighs in at 400lb / 180 kg. it doesn't leave a pile for the tranny.

Ok my crane fully extended is only good for 200kgs. Looks like il have to leave the transmission in place. No biggy really. Cheers mate.

Go ahead and pull them together, let us know if the engineer left a factor of safety when rating the hoist!

in truth i'm sure a loads of folk have done it without even thinking to check. i could be in that category. i want to reinstall with engine and tranny attached if possible, and i rent the cherry pickers. i've never even thought to check, and rentals are the sketchiest of pickers ...
