Don't have room for a engine hoist. Looking for a way to raise an 500lb
Pump, without a engine lift from a 8ft Pit

Use a chain fall or what we call a come along. Come Along Hand Cable Winch's (http://www.cvfsupply.com/come_along/come_along_hand_winch.html)

Hi all:

Here is an image of a chain fall (1st image) and a 2 ton come along (2nd image). Both can be rented at any tool rental store. Both work very well if used properly.

Let us know if you have questions...

Mark take another shot at the image or just click on my link

I would use Marks chain hoist. Along with the chain hoist you will need a chain hoist tripod, (see image) to mount it on. Good luck, Tom
