I've used forklifts numerous times and as long as the lifting assembly doesn't put all the weight at the end of the forks they're safe.....

I too am looking for a gantry or something that I can assemble in my driveway to pull the engines etc. I'd have to measure but I figure I need at least 6-7 ft. of lift to pull the motor, plus the height of the motor to the top of the gantry/come along and about 9-10 ft. width...

There's a guy down the street that has one, I need to knock on his door and see where he got it. I've seen him lift boats with it and the steel beam is about 12-14 in. thick!

Here you go. I see these in use at Bayway Refinery.

I use the same u-shape boat lift to pull my engines out. Not too expensive and I can lift the boat from the trailer quite easily, plus it is made with bolts so I can store it when I don't need it. To mount it I need someone else, 2 man is enough... pictures to come tonight...

that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Did you buy it or fabricate it?

Had it made to my spec to fit in my garage. a customer of mine I sell truck to did it. He has a welding shop. I think it was around 850-900$ canadian funs so a little less for you I would say...
