If you're in the market for a shop crane and considering the Harbor Freight model, be sure to check out my review for all the information you need to make an informed decision.
In this video (Part 2 of 2) I'll be doing a detailed comparison, review, testing and modifications that made my 2 ton folding shop crane (aka engine hoist & cherry picker) work even better.
In Part 1 of this series I did an unboxing, detailed assembly and initial comparison of the Harbor Freight 2 Ton Shop Cranes (aka engine hoist & cherry picker). I showed what was included in the box for both models and provided detailed instructions of how to assemble a shop crane. I explained all the bolts and how to put it together in detail.
Here is Part 1:
• Harbor Freight Engine ...
The models I'm working with today are the 69514 and the 60388. I will provide detailed comparisons between the two models, some testing, modifications, upgrades and lastly a review. If you're looking for some good engine hoist mods, I think you'll be happy with the modifications and upgrades I made to my 2 ton folding engine hoist that should be helpful for the 1 ton folding shop crane too. I also provide instructions on adding hydraulic fluid and bleeding the jack (or ram) if your experiencing problems with your engine hoist not lifting.
The Sunex 5222, Ranger RSC-2TF, Eastwood 33913, ATD 7485, Larin EH-2FB, Dragway Tools LD-E01001, Strongway 46219, DieHard DH20025, Duralast 123037, NAPA BK7761236, Power Torque Tools PT34786, and GoPlus engine hoists are all very similar (in some cases identical) to this model so these assembly instructions, modifications, and improvements should be helpful as well. These model numbers could also be helpful if you're looking to shop around a bit or if Harbor Freight does not have a store in your area.
