| Could someone post a video of the motor porter in action with an engine case on it. I just can't grasp the whole lift and tilt mechanism. |

I will in a few weeks. Mine has a Porsche engine and tranny on it that I do not want to move as I am building a chassis for a customer. When I reinstall I will post.

If no one does in a few weeks I will take a video when we use mine on a friend's Beetle.

The last one listed on the site, in 2021, was $1000 OBO
I don't know if it sold or the possible sales price but he got zero emails through the site
That might be high though? There were a few posted a few years earlier for $500-$650.

Not a dealer lift, but my version. Its a motorcycle lift. I added casters, plus a platform with 1x2's to fit inside of the 4 corners plus a cutout for the thermostat stud boss. Doesnt have any tilt mechanism, but havent needed it so far.
