I have a 2-post lift and the last time I used a friend's hydraulic lift table. The shortcoming is that it only goes up a little over two feet and it's capacity is only 500 pounds.
This time, I would like to take the engine and trans out as a unit.
What are you using to do this?
Thanks!

well, now I gotta to ask...why are you replacing an engine again?
come forth

The first one had an intermix problem.

I use this to remove/install the engine and tranny as an assembly:

We used a table, but had to remove the handle as the surface didn't elevate high enough to clear the handle. That makes it hard to maneuver. Perhaps I'll try another one.
Did you raise as a unit, or engine alone first?
