Engine stand

I am looking for an engine stand that is waist high to hold a EVO big twin on and that has wheels so I can load the engine then move it around to work on and cloer to the bike for installation. Has anyone seen such a product. I have seen and havethe typical enginestand offered out there, but it too low and hard to get the engine from the stand and wlak it over to the bike....

RE: Engine stand

You could always get the standard stand and then build a frame on casters to raise the stand to the desired height. You could even put the stand itself on an extendable arm similar to a compound miter saw so that you could push the engine from the engine stand frame to the bike frame.

Just an idea.

RE: Engine stand

Haven't seen anything like your talking about. Have you considered puttinga stand, like the one pictured, on a table with wheels?

RE: Engine stand

Good idea but would not be used enough for me to go to the expense.How about a harley stand bolted to an auto engine stand.They are fairly inexpensive.
