Crane/Hoist question

[FreightTrain]

Will this Hoist be enough to pick up a Deuce power pack?Engine and trans?Thinking about buying something like this and use C channel rails so I can use it on dirt to swap my engines out.

Looks like it would work to me. A deuce engine is 1200 or so lbs and the tranny can't be more than a few hundred.

Weld something between the C-Channels to get them parallel and keep them from rolling over. Maybe some flat spot to spread the weight out a little bit.

I like how the link of "bigger/more" pictures has 2 different models. Which one do you get?

I don't know what the distance is between the fenders of the deuce but I'd think 7' 10" would be cutting it close. I'm wondering if it has a wide enough span?

I'm pretty sure it is the one with the yellow beam at the top. The one with the burgundy beam is listed under the 1k lb hoist as well.
