ABSTRACT:
A dolly for adjustably supporting an automobile engine or the like includes a frame extending substantially horizontally and having forward and rearward ends, caster wheels mounted to the forward and the rearward end of the frame, a post mounted to the rearward end of the frame and extending upwardly therefrom, a first boom member having a rearward end pivotally mounted to the post and extending toward the forward frame end, a second boom member having a rearward end pivotally attached to the first boom member forward end and extending toward the forward frame end and terminating at an end adapted to receive a workpiece, a cylinder actuator for pivoting the first boom member about the post, and a second cylinder actuator for pivoting the second boom member about the first boom member forward end. An engine attached to the second boom member is suspended above the forward end of the frame which has a sufficiently low profile to pass beneath the front of an automobile, enabling the engine to be positioned within the vehicle engine compartment beneath the hood, and the cylinder actuators enable the engine to be positioned to facilitate mounting the engine within the vehicle.
