Engine balance lifter

An engine balance lifter comprising

• an elongated, longitudinally extending main beam,
• said main beam comprising a first elongated channel having side flanges terminating in laterally inwardly turned, spaced-apart, parallel first tracks,
• said main beam also comprising a second elongated channel of inverted cross section which is parallel to and co-extensive with said first channel and has side flanges terminating in laterally inwardly turned, spaced-apart, parallel second tracks,
• first and second elongated, laterally extending cross beams,
• said first cross beam comprising a third elongated channel of inverted cross section having side flanges terminating in laterally inwardly turned, spaced-apart, parallel third tracks,
• said second cross beam comprising a fourth elongated channel of inverted cross section having side flanges terminating in laterally inwardly turned, spaced-apart, parallel fourth tracks,
• means mounting said cross beams on said main beam in spaced-apart relation at selected points along the length of said main beam for pivotal movement,
• said means mounting said cross beams on said main beam comprising a first bolt rotatably mounted on the third channel of said first cross beam and a second bolt rotatably mounted on the fourth channel of said second cross beam,
• a first nut in said second channel slidably engaging said second tracks and threaded on said first bolt,
• a second nut in said second channel slidably engaging said second tracks and threaded on said second bolt,
• whereby tightening said bolts in said nuts will clamp the third and fourth channels of said respective first and second cross beams to said second channel at selected points along the length of said main beam and in selected angular positions with respect to said main beam,
• first and second engine clamps for said first cross beam and third and fourth engine clamps for said second cross beam,
• means securing said first and second clamps to said third channel of said first cross beam in spaced relation at selected points along the length thereof,
• means securing said third and fourth clamps to said fourth channel of said second cross beam in spaced relation at selected points along the length thereof,
• means on each said clamp adapted for removable attachment to an engine,
• a suspension hanger having means supporting said main beam,
• said means supporting said main beam comprising rollers on said hanger disposed within said first channel and engaging said first tracks, and
• means for positioning said hanger lengthwise of said main beam at a selected point along the length of said main beam.
