VEXPLO Engine Lifting Brackets 4-Pack, 5,500 lb Rated Bolt-On Lift Plates, Heavy-Duty 3/8-inch Steel

VEXPLO 4-Pack Engine Lifting Brackets are heavy-duty motor hoist plates designed to bolt directly to engine blocks and safely lift up to 5,500 pounds per bracket set.

When you need a dependable way to hoist engines, transmissions or other heavy powertrain components, the VEXPLO engine lifting brackets provide a compact, durable solution. Machined from thick steel with large eyelets for chains or slings, this four-piece kit gives professional mechanics and DIYers a repeatable mounting point for cherry pickers, cranes and engine stands.

How do these brackets attach to an engine?

The VEXPLO plates bolt straight onto standard engine block mounting holes using up to 1/2" diameter fasteners, creating a secure lifting point. Their wide base and welded loop distribute load and minimize movement while suspended.

• Fits bolts up to 1/2" diameter for common engine hardware
• 3/8" thick steel plate provides plate rigidity under load
• Large loop/link slot accepts lifting chain, sling, or hook
• Direct-bolt design avoids ad hoc lifting methods like wrapping belts

What capacity and safety features should I expect?

Each bracket set is built for heavy loads, with the assembly rated to support 5,500 lb when used per instructions. Thick steel construction and a half-inch link ensure reliable strength, while the eyelet allows proper rigging with certified lifting equipment.

• 5,500 lb rated lifting capacity for heavy-duty use
• 3/8" steel plate with 1/2" thick loop for high tensile strength
• Designed to work with standard hoist hooks and slings
• Avoids unsafe lifting workarounds when installed correctly

Which jobs and engines will these brackets work with?

The VEXPLO lift plates are versatile for many maintenance and repair scenarios — from removing auto and diesel engines to lifting transmissions, radiators, and similar heavy components. They are suitable for passenger cars, trucks, tractors and some commercial engines where block mounting points match the bracket footprint.

• Engine removals and installations for cars, trucks, tractors
• Transmission and heavy component hoisting tasks
• Compatibility with engine stands and cherry pickers
• Can be used on a variety of makes with compatible mounting holes

How easy is setup and what comes in the kit?

The kit ships with four engineered lifting brackets ready to bolt on; no welding or modification is required. Thread chain or a sling through the generous eyelet and attach to your hoist — installation is straightforward for any mechanic comfortable with basic engine hardware.

• Four lifting brackets included for balanced hoisting points
• Large hook slot simplifies threading slings or chains
• No special tools beyond standard wrenches needed for mounting
• Customer support available if you need fitment help or advice
