This is a 2-ton hoist in excellent shape. I have used it many times over the year and just used it to finish off two engines and I am done with hositing engines! It dismantles into several pieces to make transport and storage easier. The casters are heavy duty metal. Front legs extend another 2-3 feet and the side legs anohter foot on each side. The lifting arm extends another 2-3 feet.
I moved it outside for photos but it has been stored inside for as long as I have had it.
