Moving an engine

[Len]

I was thinking along the lines that I have picked up an engine, so plus a box and the subframe etc.

I recall the old bags of cement used to be 112lbs approx 50kgs and I used to carry those around no problem!

I suggested the pallet truck because you said it was on a pallet and you were trailering it home!

somehow i have to get it from the pallet its sitting on, to the trailer im taking it on home.

Im going to pick up my VR6 engine next thursday for my conversion.

Firstly, I'm sorry.  Do you have a boat for which you need an anchor?

A 1tonne engine crane should be fine.  Make sure you have shackles and a chain, or a lap belt with which to lift the motor etc.  At least VAG motors have lifting eyes on them, generally.  Keep the chain/strap short on the motor and you should be able to get it well over a metre in the air.
