I have one of the "non-folding" engine hoists/cranes.
I'd be happy to swap it for a folding one. Although
the folding ones take up a fixed amount of shop floor,
they are on wheels and can be moved. My hoist on the
other hand is broken down, and since it is still quite
heavy, it occupies a substantial amount of my wall space
that it's parts are store against. Many times, it simply
in my way. I'd love for it to have wheels...
But owning either type is much better then trying to
rent one for a job.
