Orion Motor Tech Engine Load Leveler — 2-Ton (4000 lb) Crank-Tilt, 1045 Steel Heavy-Duty

The Orion Motor Tech OMT Engine Load Leveler is a 2-ton (4000 lb) heavy-duty steel accessory that balances and tilts engines for safer, more accurate lifting and installation.

When you’re removing or installing an engine, control and stability matter as much as raw capacity. The OMT load leveler attaches to standard shop cranes and engine hoists to provide a reliable, adjustable connection point and a precision tilt mechanism. Its robust 1045 steel construction and adjustable chain layout make it a practical choice for both professional garages and home mechanics who need dependable performance during engine swaps, transmission alignment, or other heavy lifting tasks.

How does the leveler help align engines during installation?

The built-in crank tilt allows you to rotate the engine forward or backward in small, predictable increments so mounts and bell housings line up easier. That controlled movement reduces trial-and-error adjustments, cutting the time it takes to settle an engine into place.

• Crank handle provides fine tilt control for precise alignment
• Adjustable balance reduces lateral swing while positioning
• Works with most shop cranes and cherry pickers for flexible setup

Is the OMT leveler strong enough for heavy workshop jobs?

Yes—this unit is engineered to support loads up to 4000 pounds, making it suitable for most car and light-truck engines. The frame and hardware use high-grade AISI 1045 steel and durable chains to resist bending and wear under repeated lifts.

• Rated 2-ton (4000 lb) capacity for common engine weights
• 1045 steel construction for long-lasting structural strength
• Corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain integrity over time

How do I adapt the chains and hooks to different engines?

The load leveler uses a flexible chain arrangement with multiple connection points to match various lift brackets and eyelets. Chains can be shortened or re-routed across the bar to shift the balance point so engines sit level or tilted as needed.

• Reinforced steel chains adjust to multiple lifting points
• Multiple hook positions let you fine-tune center of gravity quickly
• Stable connection reduces twist and unwanted rotation while hoisting

What about storage and compatibility with my equipment?

The compact profile of the leveler makes it easy to stow in a garage cabinet or toolbox area when not in use. It's designed to pair with standard shop cranes, engine hoists, and cherry pickers so you don’t need specialized adapters for most common setups.

• Small footprint stores neatly in a workshop or garage
• Compatible with most engine hoists and shop cranes
• Light enough to move around but built for heavy-duty lifting

Who is this for: The Orion Motor Tech OMT 2 Ton Engine Load Leveler is made for DIY enthusiasts, independent repair shops, and professional mechanics who perform engine removals, installs, or heavy component repositioning. If you need a durable, easy-to-adjust balancing tool that improves safety and makes alignment less frustrating, this leveler is a practical addition to your lifting gear.
