YELLOW JACKET Engine Load Leveler 1,500 lb Steel with 4 Chains & Adjustable Tilt

This adjustable engine leveler is built from powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. With a 3/4-ton (1,500 lb) capacity, three chain-mount positions and four 14" chains with L-bracket assemblies, the tool adapts to a wide range of engine types and mounting points. It works with standard engine hoists to let a single technician control engine angle and center of gravity during lift, transfer or set-down operations.

How do I set up the leveler with an engine hoist?

Attach the leveler to the hoist hook, connect the four chains to the engine lifting points, and use the threaded handle to shift the center of gravity. The three-position mount holes let you change where the chains connect so you can obtain the proper tilt for removal or installation.

• Bolt the leveler to the hoist hook or shackle rated for 1,500 lb+
• Choose one of three chain-mount holes to adjust leverage
• Use the threaded shaft and handle to fine-tune balance and tilt
• Secure each chain with the L-bracket assemblies to engine lifting points
