Re: Foldable Shop Cranes?

[Bob Kinker <maxwedge11@xxxxxxxxx>]

The 2 ton model would be the one to get.  i have a Harbor Freight 2 ton, 
non-foldable, that handles big blocks with ease. The 1 ton won't give as much 
lift heighth, also is made of much smaller square tubing.  My 2 cents.

Subject: Foldable Shop Cranes?


Hey all, 

A buddy of mine is looking at buying a shop crane that he would use once or 
twice a year at most. Is the 1 ton from Harbor Freight okay for such irregular 
use? I wonder if the 1 ton will be strong enough if the boom gets extended for 
our older big cars and big block Mopar engines?
