THE CHALLENGE

To remove an engine located in the tight confines of the engine compartment inside a small car. Large engines are often “shoe-horned” into small automobiles, making removal difficult without the correct equipment.

THE SOLUTION

American Crane, a distributor of Columbus McKinnon products, installed a ShopStar electric chain hoist onto an existing I- beam trolley at the repair shop.

THE RESULT

Safe, efficient and easy removal of the engine for repair outside the engine compartment and precise placement back into the engine compartment during reinstallation.
