Mobile engine lift apparatus

Abstract

A mobile engine lift apparatus has a base, an extendible vertical support, and pivotable cradle means for lifting, supporting and transporting a motorcycle engine. The apparatus may be rolled into position with the cradle means adjacent a motorcycle engine. Extension means may be engaged to raise the cradle means, thereby lifting the engine away from the motorcycle. The cradle means may be adjusted to a desired position to permit careful removal and replacement of a motorcycle engine without causing damage to the motorcycle or the engine. The apparatus permits lifting and movement of an engine by a single individual in a safe manner. The engine, supported by the cradle means, may then be moved to a preferred location for transfer to a servicing location. The engine may be serviced while supported in the apparatus, or it may be removed from the apparatus for servicing.
