Does anyone here know how big the box is in which a flat packed engine crane comes in ?

I might buy the clarke one from machine mart and want to know if its going to fit in the back of the car

a pic would be if anyone has one ?

well considering they sell different cranes i would guess they all have different size boxes, your best bet is probs to just phone machine mart....

if it's a 2-ton crane, it's going to be fapping HUGE


Picked up my mates one in the back of my pug 406.....just




If I'd have cared about the car, or the interior, it wouldn't have fitted!

If your after an engine crane and want it delivered (bearing in mind they are about 80kg) then i would suggest buying off here Northern Tools ive used them loads in the past and bought my crane off them and using the standard delivery (2-3 days) its free shipping.

What type of car are you going to try and get it in?

[Danny341]

I bought a 2 tonne £150 crane from ebay brand new.

It is 95kgs i think, And the box is massive, Its as long as my desk, and the base comes in a seperate box!

I dont actually own a car that i can take it home in, so its been sat where i work now for 3 months

Someone told me that sealey products are not manufactured by them but re-branded is this true ?

i have a 1 tonne crane and it folds down quite small.. fits in my berlingo van or the boot of the picasso

wouldn't suggest trying in a mini though.

When our engine crane was delivered by courier, the driver refused to lift it out of the van by himself.... I told him there was nobody else at home and that I had medical problems and wasn't supposed to lift heavy weights, but he still refused and told me it would be returned to the depot.......

The box had a gross weight of 95KG.... He actually stood by and let ME drag it onto a trolley and bring it into the back garden myself, I know it's the law now that couriers aren't allowed to lift over about 25 KG by themselves, but I thought he might make an exception for me!

I did ring the company to ask why couriers were actually sent out with parcels that are over the acceptable weight, but they didn't have any answers or apologies for me!

Just make sure you're ready to help lift it, don't leave your girlfriend/Mum etc at home to accept the parcel!
