Rent an engine hoist from a neighbor

Pulling an engine is a once-or-twice-a-decade job for most people. Rent the hoist from someone nearby for the weekend it takes.

What you can rent

  • Folding engine hoists (shop cranes, cherry pickers)
  • Engine stands
  • Load levelers, when the owner includes one

What people rent it for

  • Engine swaps and rebuilds
  • Pulling a transmission
  • Lifting heavy parts and equipment in the garage

Questions

Where can I rent an engine hoist?

Tool rental shops and some auto parts stores have them. On BookR you rent one from a neighbor and pick it up from them.

How much does it cost?

Owners set their own daily rate. The price you see before you book is all-in, including BookR's renter fee, so there's no surprise at checkout.

What capacity do I need?

Check the hoist's rated capacity on the listing against the weight of what you're lifting, and remember capacity drops as the boom extends. Ask the owner if you're not sure.

When can I rent on BookR?
