Folding 360º Rotating Engine Stand with Geared Handle Drive 450kg Capacity
Folding 360º Rotating Engine Stand with Geared Handle Drive 450kg Capacity
This versatile engine stand supports comprehensive engine maintenance with its 450kg capacity and 360° rotation capability. Featuring a geared handle drive for controlled positioning, the unit accommodates engines up to 700mm in length through four fully adjustable mounting arms with multiple bolt holes for diverse engine configurations. The robust frame includes a positive locking mechanism to secure engines at specific angles during work, while the swivel castors provide smooth manoeuvrability around the workshop. Engineered for practical storage, the stand folds down from its working dimensions of 990 x 930 x 925mm to a compact 840 x 930 x 405mm through an innovative clevis pin and clip assembly system. Weighing 35kg, this workshop essential delivers the stability needed for safe engine work with the convenience of reduced storage footprint when not in use.
Precision Engine Maintenance Equipment
Controlled Rotational Positioning
The geared handle drive mechanism provides precise 360° engine rotation with minimal physical effort, allowing single-operator positioning of heavy engines to access specific components, eliminating awkward reaching or straining while working on complex areas of the engine block.
Universal Mounting System
Four independently adjustable mounting arms with multiple bolt hole configurations adapt to virtually any engine block pattern, enabling secure attachment to different makes and models without requiring specific adaptor plates or additional components for each engine type.
Secure Locking Mechanism
The integrated screw lock system maintains engines at precise angles during maintenance procedures, preventing unwanted movement or rotation when applying torque to fasteners or when removing components, enhancing both work quality and operator safety.
Substantial Load Capacity
The 450kg weight rating with 700mm maximum length accommodation handles most passenger vehicle and light commercial engines including those with attached transmissions, providing sufficient margin of safety for even cast iron engine blocks with accessories.
Workshop Mobility
Heavy-duty swivel castors enable smooth movement of mounted engines around the workshop to optimal working positions or to free up floor space when needed, while maintaining stability during stationary maintenance operations on uneven workshop floors.
Space-Saving Storage Design
The innovative folding mechanism with clevis pins and securing clips allows the stand to collapse to less than half its operational height (405mm vs 925mm) when not in use, addressing workshop space constraints without compromising structural integrity when deployed.
Practical Applications
Complete Engine Rebuilds: Provides the stable platform and positioning flexibility needed for comprehensive engine disassembly and rebuilding, with the 360° rotation allowing access to all engine areas from cylinder heads to oil pans without remounting, significantly reducing the time required to complete complex rebuild procedures.
Transmission Service: Enables efficient engine-transmission assembly work when engines are removed with transmissions attached, holding the combined units securely while allowing rotation to optimal working positions for clutch replacement, bellhousing service, or transmission input shaft alignment procedures.
Educational Environments: Serves as an ideal teaching platform in automotive training facilities, allowing instructors to rotate engines to demonstrate specific components and systems to students while providing a secure mounting system for hands-on learning activities with actual engine assemblies.
