Message	I am in the market for an engine hoist and I'm seriously space constrained. I was thinking about looking for a 1-ton hoist, but the boom extended to 50" can only support 500lbs. I think I read somewhere that the VG30DETT weighs 600lbs. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience about exactly how long of a boom length is required to fit the engine hoist in front of the car?
