Torin T32001 2-Ton Foldable Engine Hoist: What It Is, and Who It Fits
The Torin T32001 is a folding hydraulic shop crane (engine hoist) commonly used for DIY engine pulls in a home garage. Like most “2-ton” hoists, the rated capacity depends on the boom position. More reach typically means less rated capacity.
Before you buy: use the main buyer guide to compare the common hoist options (and the specs that matter).
At a glance
- Type: Folding hydraulic shop crane
- Class: 2-ton category hoist (capacity varies by boom position)
- Best for: occasional to moderate DIY engine pulls where storage space matters
What to check before ordering
1) Capacity at the boom position you will actually use
Do not shop only by the “2-ton” headline. Verify the rating at the extended boom position if you need extra reach.
2) Reach into the engine bay
If the hoist cannot reach your lift points cleanly, you end up fighting the job (or putting the hoist in unsafe positions).
3) Hook height with your rigging installed
Chain, slings, and especially a load leveler reduce usable hook height. Related: How high can an engine hoist lift?
4) Folded footprint and caster quality
For a home garage, storage and the ability to roll smoothly on your floor can matter a lot.
