Engine hoist in East Bay Area, CA
I am looking for suggestions on where to rent an engine hoist in the Alameda/Oakland/San Leandro area on 7/19. Any big chain retailers rent these?
Or, area there any hobbyists in the area that i could come by and borrow a hoist for the day? I am going to be in Alameda for a while but plan to bring a motor home to Houston from my grandpa’s house. Thanks in advance! Alex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Look on Craigs list or get one from Harbor Freight. They are not the costly and you can resale after you use it.

Autozone has "Loan A Tool" prrogram ... Maybe other parts stores also.
Google search is your friend ... Find details at their website. Last edited by Benson; 06-30-2018 at 03:25 AM. |

Do you belong to your local club? They might have one in their Club Tools inventory.

There is Hertz in Oakland-If you can wait I will find out on Monday as I drive past it. Where are you going to be in Alameda?

I rented a tow behind lift from my local ACE Hardware store that had a yard of rentable tools and machines. I had it back to the store within 3 hours having lifted my engine from the back of my truck and stuffing it into the roadster.

Re: Engine hoist in East Bay Area, CA
Here is what I found: there is Herc, Sunstate both right off 880 and hegenburger. I believe there is another off of hegenburger as well. Let me know if you need anything else.

Re: Engine hoist in East Bay Area, CA
If the garage has exposed rafters, a 2x6 spanning 4 rafters with a cable come along from home depot will easily support and pull an A engine. I'm in Alameda and not far from you. [email protected]

From what i remember, their garage is sheetrocked and enclosed so that won’t work. Good to know someone lives so close! I may end up just buying a hoist from harbor freight and bringing it with me from Houston. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Engine hoist in East Bay Area, CA
You would think a Good Eagle Scout could rig up a block and tackle, and just slide the engine up a board.
Good Luck on the Big Lift in Alameda |
