System and method for hoisting gas engine assemblies

A bracket for an engine hoist, the bracket comprising:

• a first side portion including a first plurality of linkage connection points;
• a second side portion including a second plurality of linkage connection points;
• a flange extending along and connecting the first side portion and the second side portion;
• and
• a securing member including:
• a flange receiving portion having a slot configured to receive the flange;
• and
• a U-shaped receiving portion having opposing legs that define a central cavity arranged to receive an elongate member, each of the legs having a slot that receives one of the first or second side portions.

A method for assembling a hoist for use with a gas engine assembly, the method comprising:

• providing a support member including an upper portion, a lower portion, and an arcuate portion extending therebetween, wherein the support member is C-shaped;
• coupling an elongate member to the lower portion of the support member, the elongate member extending substantially orthogonally to the lower portion;
• slidably engaging at least one bracket with the elongate member, the at least one bracket being axially translatable along a length of the elongate member and including opposing legs defining a cavity sized to receive the elongate member;
• and
• coupling a plurality of linkage members to the at least one bracket, each linkage member of the plurality of linkage members configured to attach to the gas engine assembly.
