Match the jack's rated capacity to the heaviest gearbox you'll lift plus 25% margin. Car gearboxes typically range 25-60 kg; van and 4x4 transmissions 60-120 kg; commercial-vehicle transmissions 120-250 kg; HGV gearboxes can exceed 250 kg. For a mixed fleet workshop, a 500 kg transmission jack covers most car and van work; 1000 kg jacks are typical for commercial vehicle workshops. The jack's saddle adjustment range must also accommodate the bell-housing height of the vehicles you service.

An engine support beam supports the engine from above using bars that span across the engine bay and rest on the inner wings or chassis — used for jobs where the engine stays in the bay (clutch and gearbox removal, sub-frame drop, engine-mount replacement). The engine isn't lifted, just suspended. A hydraulic engine hoist (engine crane) lifts the engine completely out of the bay for stripping and rebuild on an engine cradle. Use the support beam for in-place service; use the hoist when the engine needs to come out.

Engine support beams attach via threaded hooks or chains to the vehicle's strong points — typically the inner wing crossmembers, sub-frame mounting points, or the original engine lifting eyes. Never attach to bodywork panels, exhaust manifolds, or accessory brackets. Spread the load across the manufacturer-specified support points (normally noted in the workshop manual). Tension the chains or threaded hooks evenly so the engine sits level — if the engine tilts, transmission alignment becomes difficult during refit. Always confirm the beam rating exceeds the engine wet weight.

Yes. Hydraulic-ram service kits, replacement saddle adapters (different sizes and tilts to suit different gearboxes), wheel and castor replacements, and consumable wear parts are available for the majority of SIP, Sealey, and Draper transmission jacks. Search by the jack model code stamped on the unit. If the model is not listed, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the code and we will confirm parts availability.

Engine and Gearbox Supports

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Within Workshop Tools / Vehicle Workshop Equipment, Engine and Gearbox Supports covers the workshop equipment used to support, hold, and transport engines, gearboxes, and major drivetrain components during removal, service, refit, and rebuild work — engine cradles, gearbox jacks, transmission jacks, engine support beams, and the lifting and handling kit needed for safe drivetrain work. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade engine and gearbox supports for fleet workshops, independent garages, and rebuild specialists.

Within this section you will find Engine Support Beams (the cross-bay beams that attach to the chassis and support the engine from above when the engine mounts are removed for service), Gearbox Jacks and Transmission Jacks (saddle-equipped hydraulic jacks designed to support the gearbox during removal and refit), Engine Cradles (wheeled stands that hold a removed engine for stripping and rebuild work), and the load-spreading and securing accessories used alongside them. Engine and gearbox work is high-risk: the components are heavy (engines range from 80kg for small petrol units up to 600+ kg for HGV diesels; gearboxes from 25kg up to 250+ kg), expensive to repair if damaged, and the operator is at risk of crush injury if the equipment fails. Always size the equipment to the load with significant margin and follow the manufacturer's safe-use instructions exactly.

Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP, Sealey, and Draper across engine and gearbox supports. Sealey covers the broadest range of engine support beams (with adjustable spans to suit different vehicle widths), transmission jacks (rated 250-1000kg with hydraulic and pneumatic operation), and engine cradles (rated 350-680kg with wheeled mobility). SIP and Draper extend the range at competitive trade pricing.

Product pages list the rated load capacity (in kg or lbs — always size with a margin to the actual component weight), the working height range (for jacks — minimum saddle height, maximum lift), the saddle adjustment (telescopic, tilt, swivel — allowing alignment to the gearbox bell-housing), the wheel rating (for cradles), and the operating mechanism (manual hydraulic, pneumatic, or air-over-hydraulic). Trade pricing on workshop fit-out and multi-unit orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 for a quote on full bay or fleet specifications.
