Overhead Chain Hoists
Bill Wilson, 44 Gable Road, Thompson Falls, Montana 59873 ph 406 827-3006): "I mounted a pair of standard overhead chain hoists perpendicular to each other on the ceiling of my shop. Both hoists slide back and forth on separate trolleys. I've used them to put a new clutch in my tractor and to lift an engine out of a pickup. The perpendicular angle of the hoists really comes in handy. For example, when lifting an engine out of a pickup I can use one hoist to hold the front part of the engine and the other hoist to hold the back part. Once the engine has been lifted out of the pickup, I can use the other hoist to move it in the other direction out of the way. If I want I can move it all the way over to my welding table.
