YELLOW JACKET Engine Load Leveler 1,500 lb Steel with Threaded Tilt Handle & 14" Chains

The YELLOW JACKET Engine Load Leveler is a 1,500 lb capacity steel engine-balancing tool that lets you tilt and center engines safely for removal or installation.

This adjustable engine leveler is built from powder-coated steel with three chain-mount positions and a threaded leveling handle to help you balance odd-shaped engines during lifts. Designed to pair with engine hoists and shop cranes, it gives precise angle control for smoother installs and removals in garages, repair shops, and farm settings. The 14" chains and L-bracket assemblies provide flexible attachment points that suit a wide range of engine types and layouts.

How does this leveler help when removing or installing an engine?

The leveler gives you controlled, incremental tilting so you can orient the engine for clearance and bolt alignment. Using the threaded shaft and handle, you can raise or lower one side of the load without repositioning the crane.

• Three chain-mount positions for fore/aft balance adjustments.
• Threaded shaft with handle for fine tilt control.
• Four 14" chains with L-bracket assemblies for secure attachment.

What materials and construction ensure reliable performance?

YELLOW JACKET uses robust steel construction with a powder-coated finish to resist wear and corrosion. The leveler is engineered to handle frequent shop use while maintaining alignment and structural integrity.

• High-quality steel main body for strength and rigidity.
• Durable powder coating to resist rust and abrasion.
• Welded joints and threaded hardware rated for 1,500 lb loads.

How easy is it to set up and adjust during a job?

Setup is straightforward: connect the chains to engine lifting points, select the appropriate chain hole for balance, then fine-tune tilt with the handle and threaded shaft. A short initial adjustment yields precise positioning without extra tools.

• Quick chain hookups with included L-brackets.
• Three-position mount for rapid configuration changes.
• Handle-driven threaded shaft for one-person fine adjustments.

What should I know about compatibility and safe use?

The leveler fits most engines used in cars, SUVs, and light trucks when paired with a compatible hoist. Always inspect chains, brackets, and the hoist before lifting, and never exceed the 1,500 lb rated capacity.

• Suitable for sports cars, SUVs, light trucks, and small farm engines.
• Check load ratings and attachment points before every lift.
• Follow shop hoist manufacturer guidelines and standard safety practices.

Please note: the handle may be shipped reversed due to packaging. Remove, rotate, and reattach it to the threaded shaft in the correct orientation before use. Contact YELLOW JACKET customer support if you need assistance or replacement parts.

Who is this for? This leveler is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent shops, and agricultural technicians who need precise control when removing or installing engines up to 1,500 lb. If you work regularly on vehicle engines and use an engine hoist, the YELLOW JACKET leveler simplifies balancing and reduces guesswork during lifts.
