I have a chain block suspended from a beam in the garage.
The beam is a scrap length of 25mmx75mm 3mm thick rectangular section steel. The chain block was £35 from ebay and it can lift 2 tons.
I was using it to lift the engine from the donor, hadn't noticed the gearbox had got stuck, and carried on lifting till the whole car was off the ground, and a 5-series ain't light either!
