Hoist-it

A hoist for removing an engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part to enable a single automotive technician to work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part comprising:

• a first substantially vertical support fixed to a floor surface, said first substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a second substantially vertical support fixed to the floor surface, said second substantially vertical support being laterally spaced a predetermined distance relative to the first substantially vertical support, the second substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a substantially horizontal member extending across from said upper surface of the first substantially vertical support to said upper surface of the second substantially vertical support;
• a first vertical lift being operatively positioned within said first substantially vertical support;
• a second vertical lift being operatively positioned within said second substantially vertical support;
• said first vertical lift and said second vertical lift being selectively actuated for raising a vehicle relative to the floor surface;
• said hoist being operatively mounted on the substantially horizontal member for lifting the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle after the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part has been disengaged from the vehicle;
• and
• a controller for controlling the actuation of the hoist for lifting and lowering the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part, said controller being operatively connected by remote control for enabling the single automotive technician to be at any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed or door for enabling the single automotive technician to operate the lifting and lowering of the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle to enable the single automotive technician to actuate the hoist while remaining in any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part until the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part is disengaged from the vehicle, thereafter the single automotive technician is able to work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or automotive part;
• wherein the substantially horizontal member includes a slot extending across a portion of the substantially horizontal member to enable the hoist to be moved from one side of the substantially horizontal member to the other.

A hoist for removing an automotive object selected from the group consisting of an engine, a transmission, a truck bed, a hood, a door and any automotive part to enable a single automotive technician to be able to lift and work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part comprising:

• a first substantially vertical support fixed to a floor surface, said first substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a second substantially vertical support fixed to the floor surface, said second substantially vertical support being spaced laterally a predetermined distance relative to the first substantially vertical support, the second substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a substantially horizontal member extending across from said upper surface of the first substantially vertical support to said upper surface of the second substantially vertical support;
• a first vertical lift being operatively positioned within said first substantially vertical support;
• a second vertical lift being operatively positioned within said second substantially vertical support;
• said first vertical lift and said second vertical lift being selectively actuated for raising a vehicle relative to the floor surface;
• said hoist being operatively mounted on the substantially horizontal member for lifting and lowering the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle after the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part has been disengaged from the vehicle;
• and
• a controller for controlling the operation of the hoist for lifting and lowering the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part, said controller being operatively connected to an elongated cable for enabling the single automotive technician to be at any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part while enabling the single automotive technician to adjust the lifting and lowering of the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle to enable the single automotive technician to actuate the hoist while remaining in any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part until the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part is disengaged from the vehicle, thereafter the single automotive technician is able to work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part;
• wherein the substantially horizontal member is an I-beam extending across the substantially horizontal member and further including wheels for mounting the hoist relative to the I-beam to enable the hoist to be selectively moved from one side of the substantially horizontal member to the other.

A hoist for removing an engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part to enable a single automotive technician to work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part comprising:

• a first substantially vertical support fixed to a floor surface, said first substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a second substantially vertical support fixed to the floor surface, said second substantially vertical support being laterally spaced a predetermined distance relative to the first substantially vertical support, the second substantially vertical support extending upwardly a predetermined distance to an upper surface;
• a substantially horizontal member extending across from said upper surface of the first substantially vertical support to said upper surface of the second substantially vertical support;
• a first vertical lift being operatively positioned within said first substantially vertical support;
• a second vertical lift being operatively positioned within said second substantially vertical support;
• said first vertical lift and said second vertical lift being selectively actuated for raising a vehicle relative to the floor surface;
• said hoist being operatively mounted on the substantially horizontal member for lifting the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle after the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part has been disengaged from the vehicle;
• and
• a controller for controlling the actuation of the hoist for lifting and lowering the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part, said controller being operatively connected by remote control for enabling the single automotive technician to be at any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed or door for enabling the single automotive technician to operate the lifting and lowering of the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part relative to the vehicle to enable the single automotive technician to actuate the hoist while remaining in any position relative to the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part until the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or any automotive part is disengaged from the vehicle, thereafter the single automotive technician is able to work on the engine, transmission, truck bed, hood, door or automotive part;
• wherein the substantially horizontal member is an I-beam extending across the substantially horizontal member and further including wheels for mounting the hoist relative to the I-beam to enable the hoist to be selectively moved from one side of the substantially horizontal member to the other.
