They normally have a hook or eye at the top that hooks onto something overhead, under the tube there is a hook that raises and lowers on a cable from the winch, My mate used one for years as an engine hoist, I don't think it ever let him down. only downside it you need 2 hands to work it so you cant guide the engine in or out, so its a 2 man job, If it was closer, I would seriously be tempted
