YELLOW JACKET Engine Leveler 1500 lb Shop Crane Accessory — Powder-Coated Steel, Threaded Tilt Control

YELLOW JACKET's Engine Leveler is a 1,500 lb-capacity shop crane accessory that lets you safely tilt and balance engines for removal, installation, and alignment.

Designed for garages and workshops, this steel engine leveler pairs with shop cranes and hoists to change the angle and center of gravity of an engine while you work. Built from powder-coated steel and supplied with four 14" chains, the unit adds precise control and faster positioning to engine lifts. The lever and threaded shaft let you fine-tune tilt, while three chain-mount positions accommodate multiple engine layouts.

How does this leveler make engine installs and removals easier?

The leveler gives you a controlled pivot point so engines can be rotated or angled for clearance and alignment without repeated manual adjustments. Its lever-operated threaded shaft lets one person make small corrections in balance while the hoist holds the weight.

• Manual threaded adjustment for precise tilt control.
• Three chain-mount positions to change lift geometry quickly.
• Four 14" chains with L-bracket assemblies to adapt to different engine shapes.

Is the 1,500 lb rating adequate for my vehicle's engine?

The leveler is rated to safely handle up to 1,500 pounds, suitable for many four- and six-cylinder engines and many V6 small-block applications. Always verify your engine weight and include the weight of attached accessories before lifting to stay within the capacity limit.

• 3/4 ton (1,500 lb) maximum capacity—check engine specs before use.
• Adjustable mounting holes for balanced lifts across configurations.
• Use with an appropriately rated shop crane or hoist and rated rigging hardware.

What construction and safety details should I expect?

The main structure is heavy-gauge steel with a durable powder-coat finish that resists corrosion and wear in a busy shop environment. The handle assembly has been upgraded with ball bearings and a longer lever for smoother operation under load, and the threaded shaft provides controlled movement.

• High-strength steel body with powder coating for longevity.
• Ball-bearing and long-handle upgrade for easier balancing under load.
• Corrosion- and wear-resistant finish for workshop durability.

How easy is it to set up and which accessories are included?

Setup is straightforward: connect the leveler to your crane hook, attach the supplied chains to engine lifting points, and use the threaded handle to achieve the required angle. The kit comes with four 14" chains and L-bracket assemblies to fit a range of engines, and three mounting holes let you reposition the chains for optimal balance.

• Four 14" chains with L-bracket assemblies are included for versatile attachment.
• Three-position chain mounting for different engine configurations.
• Note: handle shipped rotated—disassemble and reattach in the correct orientation on receipt.

Who this tool is for: automotive technicians, home mechanics and small-shop owners who regularly remove or install engines and need a dependable, adjustable leveling accessory. If you operate a garage, restore vehicles, or perform engine swaps, this leveler pairs with a 1,500 lb-rated crane to improve safety, reduce manual handling, and speed up alignment tasks. Confirm your engine weight and use proper lifting procedures and rated hoist equipment for safe operation.
