Abstract
An engine lift for raising, lowering and supporting an engine block or engine includes a movable frame that has ground-engaging wheels and an elongate base that extends laterally. A support shelf is provided for supporting an engine block or engine and includes a non-marring surface upon which the engine or engine block can rest. A tool tray is positioned near the support shelf and an air cylinder is coupled to the movable frame for raising and lowering the support shelf. A second tool tray is provided, as is a tool holster for supporting and storing a bar-like tool. The elongate base comprises a pair of low-profile elongate base legs for slipping beneath the frame of a mobile engine stand (when used in conjunction with a mobile engine stand).
