Oh, with engine hoist lifting things from the bottom (like a transformer) they can tip. So I added a strap around the top. Also have to prevent straps on bottom from slipping to center and unbalancing.
I think I did install side handles and lift tool chest that way last time. Unloading new one at home, I lifted from bottom and had to fight it quite a bit.
Safety first, and avoiding property damage second.
There are some devices to convert a hoist into a forklift. I ought to fabricate one.
Without requiring torsional strength, just tension or compression, pipes (or lumber) and cables could lift a pallet by 2x4 slipped under it.
