Engine Support Bar, 1100LBS, Transverse Hoist Dual Hooks
- 【1100LBS Heavy-Duty Steel Frame with Powder-Coated Finish】Built from reinforced high-strength steel tubing with a durable powder-coated finish, this engine support bar supports up to 1100 lbs (500kg) for safe engine and transmission removal, installation, and rebuilding. The dual steel bar construction distributes weight evenly across the entire 59-inch span, eliminating the stress concentrations that cause frame flex or failure. Tested and trusted for V8 engines, inline-6s, and transmissions on passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs.
- 【Dual Hooks with Anti-Slip Chain Locking Mechanism】Unlike standard engine support bars where chains "slip off when the support bar had a load on it" and buyers need "grip plyers to prevent the chain from slipping off," our dual hooks feature a redesigned locking mechanism with a positive retention clip that secures the chain under load. The heavy-duty iron chains are welded to the hooks with reinforced gussets, preventing the dangerous chain detachment that can drop a 500+ lb engine. Safety first. Always.
- 【Knob-Adjustable Triangular Bases with Fixed Rubber Feet】The wide-set triangular side supports feature heavy-duty knob-adjustment for precise width positioning from 28.74" to 58.28" to fit any engine bay. Unlike competitors where "the black side supports kept coming loose and the whole engine would wobble left" and "rubber feet had to be silicone in as they slip out all the time," our rubber feet are permanently bonded to the steel base with industrial adhesive and mechanical retention pins. No slipping. No wobbling. No "nearly killed me" moments.
- 【0-8" Smooth Height Adjustment with Rotating Hoists】Two synchronized rotating hoists with ergonomic handles provide precise height control from 0 to 8 inches (0-205mm), allowing you to raise or lower the engine to the exact working position. The greased thrust bearings under the leveling handles ensure smooth rotation with minimal effort—unlike stiff mechanisms that require excessive force. Perfect for clutch replacements, oil pan gasket jobs, transmission swaps, and engine mount replacements.
- 【Complete Kit — All Parts Included, No Missing Pieces】Every box includes the 59-inch transverse bar, two triangular side supports, two rotating hoists with handles, dual locking hooks with heavy-duty chains, and four fixed rubber feet. Unlike competitors where buyers ask "Do you have to buy the two triangle supports separately? mine never came with any," we triple-check every shipment. A detailed illustrated setup guide shows exact positioning for passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs. Most users are supporting their engine in under 15 minutes.
