OY5604 1500LBS Heavy-Duty Engine Stand

The OY5604 1500LBS Heavy-Duty Engine Stand is a robust, high-capacity support device engineered for professional engine rebuilders, performance shops, and industrial maintenance facilities. With an impressive rated capacity of 1,500 LBS, it safely holds large-displacement V8 engines, heavy-duty diesel engines, industrial power units, and commercial vehicle engine blocks during complete disassembly, part replacement, and reassembly. The defining feature of this model is its heavy-gauge, reinforced steel construction—utilizing thicker-wall tubing and additional cross-bracing compared to standard stands—which provides exceptional torsional rigidity and stability when supporting loads approaching the 1,500-pound limit. A heavy-duty four-swivel-caster base with dual locking brakes on all casters allows the stand to be maneuvered easily around the workshop.
The engine stand features a heavy-duty rotating head assembly with a precision-engineered gear and locking pin mechanism, allowing the operator to rotate the engine a full 360 degrees and lock it positively at any desired angle without slippage. This full rotation capability is critical for accessing oil pans, timing covers, cylinder heads, and main bearings on large engines. The four adjustable mounting arms are constructed from thicker steel and fitted with extra-long sliding brackets to accommodate a wide range of bolt patterns, from compact 4-cylinder blocks to wide V8 and straight-6 diesel configurations. Each arm includes hardened steel mounting fingers and heavy-duty retaining bolts to secure the engine firmly to the stand. The upright column is reinforced with dual diagonal support beams and a gusseted base plate, while the extended footprint of the four-leg base minimizes the risk of tipping when the engine is rotated off-center under heavy loads. All critical weld points are reinforced, and the stand is finished with a durable powder-coated surface that resists oil, grease, and chemical corrosion.
