I got a good deal on an used engine lift on ebay (it was local). The
guy had removed the original castors and replaced them with much larger
one. He said it was to hard to get the lift in and out of the shop since
there was a lip going into the shop. He had to make some custom brackets
and weld them in place. Ugly but it works.
