BIG RED Engine Load Leveler 1500 lb — Adjustable Crank Shaft, 4 Chains for Precise Tilting

BIG RED 1500LBS Engine Load Leveler is a heavy-duty, fully adjustable engine hoist accessory that lets one person safely tilt and balance engines using four 14" chains and a crank-handle threaded shaft.

This solid steel engine leveler from BIG RED (Torin T32100) converts a standard engine hoist into a precise balancing tool for lifting, lowering, and rotating powerplants in garages, workshops, and farm shops. Designed for 3/4 ton (1,500 lb) loads, the unit gives you three chain-mount positions plus an adjustable crank that shifts the center of gravity so engines sit level or at the angle you need for installation or removal.

How does the leveler adjust engine balance for lifts?

The leveler uses a threaded shaft with a crank handle to move the load front-to-back while the four chains and three-position mounting holes let you change lift points. Turn the crank to fine-tune tilt and use different chain positions to handle odd-shaped blocks or accessories attached to the engine.

• Threaded shaft and crank provide smooth, incremental tilt control
• Three chain-mount positions accommodate varying engine geometry
• Four 14" chains distribute load evenly for stable lifting
• L-bracket assemblies give secure anchor points on engine eyebolts

What capacity and materials should I expect from this accessory?

This BIG RED leveler is rated for 1,500 lb (3/4 ton) and is built from structural steel for dependable workshop use. Components such as the L-brackets, chains, and crank-thread are engineered for repeated cycles typical of mechanic and agricultural service environments.

• Rated capacity: 1,500 lb (3/4 ton)
• Constructed from heavy gauge structural steel for durability
• Four heat-treated 14" chains with secure L-brackets
• Threaded adjustment shaft for positive, low-effort control

How do I hook up and operate the leveler safely?

Attach the four chains to sturdy engine lift points using the supplied L-bracket ends, pick a chain-mount hole that centers the mass, then raise the engine slowly with your shop crane while turning the crank to level. Always inspect chains and attach points before each use and keep personnel clear while adjusting tension under load.

• Select engine eyebolts or lift brackets rated for the load
• Start with the lowest possible lift height and lift slowly
• Turn the crank incrementally; avoid sudden shifts in load
• Perform a visual check of chains, brackets, and threaded shaft before each lift

Will this leveler work with my existing shop crane?

Yes — the BIG RED leveler is an accessory designed to hang from most standard engine hoists and shop cranes equipped with a hook. Its universal chain ends and mid-span adjustability make it compatible with a wide variety of engines and hoist setups.

• Works with standard hoist hooks and crane lifting points
• Adjustable chains fit different engine shapes and sizes
• Compact enough to store with other shop accessories

Who is this for: Mechanics, home DIYers, farm technicians, and small repair shops that need a reliable, low-cost way to control engine attitude during removal and installation. If you routinely lift inline, V-type, or tractor engines and want faster, safer positioning without jury-rigging straps or chains, this BIG RED 1500 lb engine leveler provides predictable control, built-in safety features, and long-term workshop durability.
