Had a hour too spare.......
I know bike engines are nice and light but I was getting fed up of lifting the engine in and out on my own...............
so i knocked this up, I'm for my sins 100kgs and it holds me ok.............
Ive got a spare length of track and a trolley too go with it if anyone local-ish wants it your welcome too call in and pick it up.........
takes the back ache out of becs.

That definately trumps Jon's for sheer functionality. However, I get the feeling that Jon has the better overall working environment!
You've both got me thinking though ... it would be nice to be able to get my engine/box in and out without calling in favours from my mates all
the time. I feel some DIY coming on ... 
Cheers
Richard

Looks good, but I'd lose the pull lifts and get a set of 500kg chain blocks.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

i havn't used it yet, but it does have a couple of drawbacks
1 its outside,
2 loads of chain everywhere(easily solved)
but it was cheap ie nearly bloody free, i scrounged or allready had all but the beam trolley.
I would be ahppy lifting a fair weight with it too however as its a home built thing i wont be.
at one point i had considered cutting a slot down the middle of the container and pushing the beam centre web down the slot so i could lift inside
too. but that posed all sorts of problems.
P.S really like Jons solution much neater than mine

That looks very similat to my lifting contraption. I have a telescopic beam out of an ambulance. Designed to lift lardy patients. Ive extended to full
length, one end rests on garage header plate, other end propped by several stud wall timbers. Black and tackle hangs from plate that is on castors.
Top job and cost me £20 max.
