Default Engine trolley lift

When I call this my engine hoist. I mean for a Cub engine only. Working on my 4 Cubs, Scag and butchering a few deer. My back can't take manhandling things anymore. My last engine removal I used 2 ladders a piece of strut and the winch. Much more controlled then lifting by hand. So I decided to upgrade to the trolley on the garage door track. When i'll make a lift I'll add 2x4 legs to the end of tracks for extra support. Not counting the winch I spent around $100.

I would not advise using any overhead door track to lift weight. they are very flimsy. Please be careful. the trolley and the motor will most likely all come down and hurt someone.

go buy some c channel and make a gantry crane or buy and engine hoist. most fold up out of the way when your not using them

I put up a single rail of 1-5/8"X1-5/8"X10' 12 ga. unistrut (P1000T)and 2 of the unistrut trolleys (P2950) by welding the unistrut 4 hole 90 deg. angles brackets(P1325) on top of the rail to line up with the over head beams in my garge. I then put 1/2 bolts though the angle into the side of the beams to hold it up and in place, so far I like how it has worked out for me.
I use a small 1/2 ton chan come a long to do the lifting and then can move things down the line as needed, If/when I need to do this again I will use the bigger rail 1-5/8"X3-1/4" slotted rail ( if I can find it) and then I can run lag bolts though the slotts and not have to do the welding like I had to this time.
Take a look into the unistrut its not hard to work with and it has a high load rate, I like what I've done with it so far but it would be nice if I could move a load side to side as well as frount to back like you have.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
