    By sheer coincidence after submitting this inquiry I happened on a nearby home just a short while ago that recently burned down. The place was a total loss but the guy salvaged some of his garage equipment including a rolling car engine hoist that looks to be in good condition. Tracked the guy down and made him an offer for it – said he wanted to think about it while he sorts out his next move on another house. If this doesn’t work out I think I’ll just rig up a block and tackle on some kind of overhead rail that will allow me several feet of travel distance. I also keep my motors on mobile workstands but just need some lifting assistance. Appreciate everyone’s input.
