Hi,

 

I thought this would be easy to find out, but turns out it isn't...or least not for me!

 

Will a 500Kg engine hoist happily hold an NA engine?

yes it will be fine :)

Easy, the engine is about 250kg.

Great, thanks!! :)

If you are looking at a hoist with an adjustable reach you need to remember that the weight lift decreases the more the boom is extended.

A 500Kg Machine Mart one drops to 150KG on position 4

A 1000KG one only drops to 250KG on Position4.

Thanks, I didn't know this, but thinking about it; I suppose it does make sense.

 

I'll bare it in mind, though won't be transplanting until August...hopefully it will be warmer then too!

you can buy new 1 ton Folding ones from ebay for around £150 ...
