Ustinian Engine Lift Sling Kit — Universal 2- or 4-Point, 1200 lb Capacity, Nylon Webbing

The Ustinian Engine Lift Sling Kit is a universal, adjustable two- or four-point lifting strap system designed to safely raise and position most fully dressed engines up to 1200 lbs.

Whether you're removing a crate motor or swapping a high-performance race engine, this kit gives you a soft, damage-reducing alternative to chains. Built around powder-coated 1/4-inch steel plates and heavy-duty nylon webbing, the sling set is intended to balance security, adjustability and surface protection so engines stay scratch-free during transport and installation.

How does the kit adapt to different engine shapes and mounting points?

The sling uses adjustable nylon straps and steel plates with multiple mounting holes so you can position attachment points to match engine lift eyes, bellhousing bolts or custom brackets. Convert between a two-point and four-point lift by changing how you route the straps through the plates.

• Multiple strap lengths for varied reach and clearance
• Steel lifting plates with several mounting holes for fine positioning
• Quick conversion between two‑point and four‑point geometry

Will the nylon straps damage paint or coated surfaces?

No. The straps are woven nylon rather than chain, which reduces abrasion and scratches on painted or powder-coated engine surfaces. They also distribute load over a wider area to minimize point pressure.

• Wide webbing protects finish compared with chains
• No metal-to-paint contact where straps wrap the engine
• Easy to replace straps if they wear over time

What load capacity and durability features should I expect?

The system is rated to handle most large engines up to 1200 pounds and is built with powder-coated 1/4" steel plates to resist rust. The heavy nylon webbing is designed for workshop use and fast installation, balancing strength with corrosion resistance of the metal components.

• Rated for engines up to 1200 lbs (check your engine weight before use)
• 1/4" powder-coated steel plates for rust resistance
• Durable nylon webbing for long service life and quick replacement

How easy is it to set up and switch between 2-point and 4-point lifts?

Setup is straightforward: attach the plates to the chosen lift points, route the straps and secure to the hoist hook. Switching lift modes only requires reconfiguring strap routing and plate connections — no specialized tools are typically needed.

• Tool-free strap routing for most configurations
• Clear mounting holes speed alignment and adjustment
• Designed for quick installation in busy repair bays

Who is this for: The Ustinian Engine Lift Sling Kit is aimed at professional mechanics, home engine builders and race teams who need a versatile, surface-friendly lifting solution for engines up to 1200 lbs. If you frequently lift different engine types or want to avoid paint damage while keeping a reliable, adjustable hoisting setup in your shop, this kit fits that workflow.
