Yeah, don't think so my friend. Lol. The way I do it is run a swivel hook on my cherry picker, get the engine stand attached to the motor, jack the hoist up high enough for the stand to clear the legs and spin it around. Fits like a glove between the legs of the hoist and rolls out no problem
Exactly. Cup the crane around the back of the stand, spin the motor 180°. Hook it i up. Push it away. It it doesn’t work you’re only pushing the rear stand casters off the hoist legs. An added “safety chain” could give you the length needed to push off without turning over. I’m glad he got it but damn that looked sketch. 😳
I have the exact same set-up and was extremely frustrated when I found the engine and motor stand were "miles apart" and I totally get it that this video demonstrates an awkward way of getting the motor mounted to the stand. However, if you take your time the process works! Thank you, OMG!
I can see why folks thing this method is a little sketchy but I did this with a Chevy 327 engine and it worked out just fine. I used a 2x4 instead of a steel bar, which I was worried about but also worked great. Also, for the idea that you can reverse the stand and "cup" them together, that totally depends on your lift and stand (and motor, I guess). I couldn't do that because the small end of the stand couldn't get far enough into the lift. Thanks for the video. Big help!
At 5:12 with the legs of the stand cupped, all you had to do was remove the pins on the hoist and as you pull back on the stand the hoist legs would be pulled out and fold down. done.
For those in the comments suggesting "cupping" the hoist and stand, by spinning the engine 180 degrees, I suggest you throw a tape measure on the rear of the stand crossmember. Do the same between the hoist legs, and let me know what you come up with. My set up (same hoist, different jack stand) wouldn't work with your suggested "cupping", nor, does it appear, would it for Ozark Mountain - the hoist legs are not wide enough for the rear end of the stand. He suggests a work around that worked for him - which is WAAAAY more stable than what I did when presented with the same problem. Nice job Ozark Mountain! Wish I would have found this a few days ago. At least I now have a way to get the engine back onto the hoist!
Remove the hoist wheels (as they are bigger than the stand). Remove the wheels, bush them by enough so the stand arms can roll under the hoist arms. Might take a little welding, but then you can easily transfer engine from hoist to stand.
*caution if you are new to this* < < V eng stand to V eng hoist. Take the Red Engine Stand and turn it around backwards. Put it behind the Engine and wheel it strait out. Please don’t do what is being shown in this video. You could get hurt or tip your heavy engine over and damage it.
Just lift the engine higher then pick up the stand and fit it to the engine mount, so engine and stand are off the floor, then lower them both while pushing to the side so the legs are either side of each other.
Ericthecarguy did that, but the stand needs to be turned 90% so that it slides in from the side rather than facing the crane. But that seems to be a good solution.
I'm presently assembling a Cherry Picker. I ran into problems. I'm going 12:08 to change the bolt to a heavier and longer grade of bolts. Seeing this on 8/14/24
Nice video and crazy dangerous. I would go with larger caster/wheels on the engine hoist so the engine stand can go underneath the hoist leg. 2nd or add a larger piece of chain to the engine hoist chain this way you can swing out the engine enough reach and maneuver it onto the stand, Just my 2-cent, but, good video to learn form. Thank you.
I have run into the same problem. I don't know why most hoist need to be in that V configuration. They may save space but they are limited in their use compared to a hoist in the H configuration. And they H shaped hoist are expensive!
Dissapointed that these are not compatible. I have an engine leveler and what I have to do is lift the stand onto the plate where the stands legs are in the air I put one of the hoists legs into the middle of the stand. Then I have to push on the stand as I lower it and it gives it enough room to sit without hitting the hoist legs. Not a fan
Can you not just hoist the engine with the stand bolted on and then spin it 180 degrees in the air so that the stabilizing legs are facing the other way and then let it down with the narrow end of the stand between the legs of the hoist?
I am pissed I bought this same engine stand. What a load of crap to have to do it like this to get it to work. And of course it’s too much work to try to put it in the box and take it back, so now I’m a stuck with it. Should have researched more and bought the geared Sunex.
What we have to deal with when people design stuff that they have never used and never will. I refuse to buy this garbage. Welder and some steel and I’ll build my own.
So can you show me a better way to use these two products? This video was to show the problem you will run into when using these products from harbor freight, and a possible solution, but if you can come up with a better solution without cutting up the engine stand and shop crane I will be happy to give it a try!
I cant stand mumblers !!! And why not just spin it around?im assuming u dont do well with the grandkids shape toys...u know what im sayin??? Look at your stands.. turn the red one around and bring it inti the shape made for it.. very easy to have a swivel or a leveler with a swivel...if u cabt figure that out i wouldnt want ya workin on my engine

I'm glad I found your comment
Make a video
Cant agree more

I think this is sound. Nice one.
Lol... Just turn the stand around and back it into the lift. Then lower the motor into it. Works like a charm without all the other bs.
Literally did what you said and omg I guess nun of us got a brain cause that was so easy 😂👌
And safe‼️
Thank you🫡

Innovative with a fair note of caution as it should be trying to use these equipment.
I have the same set up and I did non of that you're making it harder than it really is
*caution if you are new to this*
< < V eng stand to V eng hoist.
Take the Red Engine Stand and turn it around backwards.
Put it behind the Engine and wheel it strait out.
Please don’t do what is being shown in this video.
You could get hurt or tip your heavy engine over and damage it.
Just lift the engine higher then pick up the stand and fit it to the engine mount, so engine and stand are off the floor, then lower them both while pushing to the side so the legs are either side of each other.
Awesome video boss
Instead of letting it down on the legs, why not just spin the whole thing 180 degrees, let it down and wheel it out? Am I missing something?
Stand doesn't cup in the hoist close enough
I have used a different method but this is nicer🔥🔥🔥
I need to do this, but in reverse I need to put the motor back on the shop crane. Any ideas?
This might be the most dangerously fun video ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Install blocks between the castors and the frame to make the engine stand higher so the engine jacks legs go underneath engine stand legs
Ericthecarguy did that, but the stand needs to be turned 90% so that it slides in from the side rather than facing the crane. But that seems to be a good solution.
Great video but all you have to do is put the motor stand in backwards and it fits perfectly lol

I just removed the wheels from my hoist. The engine stand just rolled over it.
Same exact set up. Same exact problem
Just turn the engine stand around in mid air to face the opposite way once the engine is attached to it, easy peasy.
The chain with the hook binds, would need to install a swivel, problem is I have very little clearance above motor when installing or removing.
Buy a leveler hoist, it has enough chain length to slide the engine in with no problem. Otherwise great video sir.
These are products that should work together but they really need to be redesigned! Both purchased at harbor freight
@@ozarkmountaingarage6707the load leveler is sold at harbor freight as well, and meant to go with the shop crane...
I have run into the same problem. I don't know why most hoist need to be in that V configuration. They may save space but they are limited in their use compared to a hoist in the H configuration. And they H shaped hoist are expensive!
Great tips for the diyers
After dropping motor(dented pan beyond repair) I removed the wheels from stand. Very frustrating!!
Tthanks I won't use that method very dangerous

No it doesn’t fit, without modifying either stand this was my only solution that worked that I could find
Lift stand & engine , spin 180 degrees & lower down. Then disconnect chain & roll engine stand away.
Why not use an engine tilting jig spin the engine 360% set it down between the lift legs and unhook the engine and roll it out.
I am pissed I bought this same engine stand. What a load of crap to have to do it like this to get it to work. And of course it’s too much work to try to put it in the box and take it back, so now I’m a stuck with it. Should have researched more and bought the geared Sunex.
Nice work!
Lol turn the stand around to where it backs in the hoist their both a frame styles
What we have to deal with when people design stuff that they have never used and never will. I refuse to buy this garbage. Welder and some steel and I’ll build my own.
Wow! Why didn’t you just spin the stand and engine 180 degrees and set it down. Or just buy a stand with one leg
That's it, I'm designing a solution to this problem. I ran into this multiple times and I'm sick of it.
Genius sir
Is this real 😳
buy an "H" type stand...just asking for a fall with your method
Yeah...I don't think so!
Why don't you just turn your engine stand around
Because the motor placement in the car is not optional. The front of the motor has to be facing the shop crane to install motor.
Buy a V Style Hoist and a H Style Stand
The H shaped hoists are hard to find and expensive!
@@coupeseven Thats why I said buy a H Style stand and a V Shaped Hoist.
OK, I understand, you now.
1 ton is 2000lbs
Terrible design flaw
Put it on the stand then lift it and spin it 180* and set it down
Not a good idea at all. Good way to drop that engine and hurt yourself or others.
