PowerArm Releases Powered Engine Hoist Retrofit Kits

Concord, CA, October 10, 2020 --(PR.com)-- PowerArm™, a SafeGuard Power Products brand, today released the new PowerArm Retrofit Kit, giving installers the ability to convert their one- or two-ton engine hoists into powered hoists. The PowerArm uses a battery-powered linear actuator to lift and lower engines with a remote control.

“The truth is both weekend mechanics and professional installers hate installing engines,” said Evan Wolozin, CEO, SafeGuard Power Products. “Trying to align an engine for reconnection using a traditional hydraulic hoist is extremely imprecise and frustrating, especially when operating alone. We improve that experience by attaching a powered actuator and wired remote, giving precise control over the engine.”

The PowerArm actuator provides smooth, precise adjustments crucial for re-installing engines. The connected, handheld remote control allows installers the freedom to guide and align the engine with full access to the engine bay, rather than making guesses from a distance with traditional hydraulic engine cranes.

“We’ve received high praise from our pilot installers and believe this will become a favored tool in many installers' arsenals,” said Wolozin.

The PowerArm is designed to dramatically reduce the time and frustration typically experienced with re-installing engines. The PowerArm Retrofit Kit can upgrade hoists in as little as five minutes, and includes all the components necessary for a safe installation.

PowerArm plans to release a line of fully integrated engine hoists beginning in late 2020.
