Got the same foldable engine crane, heavy duty foldable engine stand and old Bosal creeper. Makes life much easier around the garage/worshop. Recommend a workshop with a smooth level surface as the castor wheels are difficult to control on uneven floors. The ultimate is a 2 or 4 post lift

Foldup is nice, takes very little space in your garage. Use my engine crane to lift all sorts of things, even tree trunks from the garden etc.
