American Forge & Foundry 2-Ton Engine Crane (3583)

The American Forge & Foundry 2-Ton Engine Crane (3583) is a heavy-duty, folding engine hoist designed to raise, lower, and transport engines, differentials, transmissions, and other heavy loads with speed and ease. Built with high-grade steel and heavy-duty welded construction, this crane is engineered to meet demanding standards for quality and a long service life. It features a telescopic boom with four positions to provide a wide range of lifting heights and capacities, adapting to various jobs. The legs and boom fold up effortlessly for compact storage, making it an excellent choice for any garage or workshop where space is a consideration. A 360-degree swivel hook adds greater flexibility in positioning lifting chains, and the hydraulic ram is equipped with a safety by-pass mechanism for added operator safety.
