On the other hand, if you can secure the cherry-picker from sliding, wouldn't the engine just swing into place as it's lifted? Or slide into place using some plywood over the cherry-pickers legs?
Just pondering...
Thanks again!

Robert,
The HF engine hoist legs opening could be overcome by a simple contraption. I have used this hoist for many years moving engines from engine stand to engine test stand much wider than the engine width. Like someone mentioned earlier, there are many ways to skin a cat. Or think outside the box.
An ATV or hydraulic table is nice to have for your engine drop and could get away without an engine hoist. But having an engine hoist is an advantage and more efficient. What ever you decide to do, stay safe.
