That is the real cost of owning one, and it is what the Ranger \u003cstrong\u003eRES-1TF\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around: the frame \u003cstrong\u003efolds upright\u003c\/strong\u003e, so between projects the stand goes flat against a wall instead of standing in the middle of a bay with a coat hung on it. For a shop where floor space is the scarce resource — and for a home garage where it is the only resource — that changes the arithmetic of owning one at all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe catch with any folding structure is rigidity, because a joint that moves is a joint that flexes. Ranger's answer is a \u003cstrong\u003ereinforced neck\u003c\/strong\u003e: the section carrying the whole cantilevered load of the engine is built up rather than left as plain tube. Rated at \u003cstrong\u003e2,000 lbs (907 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cstrong\u003e1 ton\u003c\/strong\u003e — it takes everything from a compact four-cylinder to a large V8.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor space in use.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e41″ (1,041 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e long by \u003cstrong\u003e31″ (787 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e across the front, standing \u003cstrong\u003e37.5″ (953 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e high. Allow working room all the way round it, because you will be walking a full circle as you rotate the engine.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStorage space.\u003c\/strong\u003e Folded upright it wants wall space rather than floor space. Measure the wall you intend to park it against, and check there is nothing in the way at the height the folded frame reaches.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRear width — and a discrepancy worth knowing about.\u003c\/strong\u003e The specification table gives the rear width as \u003cstrong\u003e27.5″\u003c\/strong\u003e, and prints \u003cstrong\u003e2,210 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside it as the metric equivalent. Those two figures do not describe the same width; the metric conversion in that row is not consistent with the inch figure next to it. We have left the table exactly as supplied rather than silently editing it, and if the rear width is critical to where the stand has to fit, ask us and we will confirm it against the current factory sheet before you order.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four wheels on a hard, flat, level surface. A loaded engine stand on a sloping or broken floor is a genuinely bad idea, and it is not the stand's rating that fails first.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eChecking your working room, your storage wall and your floor is the buyer's responsibility. Tell us the engines you plan to mount and the space you have, and we will look at it with you first.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe head, and why 360 degrees is a working feature\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe head swivels through a full \u003cstrong\u003e360 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the point is not the number. It is that gravity becomes something you can choose. Rotating the block lets you drop the sump, get square to a timing cover, reach the rear main seal, or bring an awkward accessory bracket to chest height instead of working above your head under a hoist. Fluids drain where you want them to. Fasteners come out downwards rather than into your face. A stand that only holds an engine at one angle turns half of an engine build into a contortion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eslotted adjustable saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e is what makes mounting practical across different blocks: the mounting arms slide to meet the bell-housing bolt pattern in front of you rather than requiring the pattern to match the stand. Combined with the swivel claw, that is what lets one stand serve a workshop that sees several manufacturers rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStability, deliberately over-specified\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn engine on a stand is a heavy mass held out on an arm, and its centre of gravity moves every time you rotate it. That is why the base is a \u003cstrong\u003efour-wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e, wide-base design rather than the three-leg arrangement used on lighter stands: four contact points and a broad footprint resist tipping in every direction, including the diagonal one you create when you rotate a long engine to reach something.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe structure is heavy steel throughout, and the neck reinforcement is the specific answer to the specific weakness — on any engine stand, the neck is where load concentrates, and on a folding stand it is also near the joint. A long rubber-grip handle gives leverage for positioning without a fight, and heavy-duty swivel casters let a mounted engine be moved to the parts washer, the bench or out of the way of the next job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome and club garages\u003c\/strong\u003e where the stand's folded footprint decides whether it can be owned at all.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRestoration and rebuild shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running several projects, where stands are needed in numbers and stored between them.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral repair workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e doing occasional engine work, where a stand that stows flat is the difference between having one and borrowing one.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMobile and race support operations\u003c\/strong\u003e, where kit gets loaded and unloaded and a folding frame travels.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWorking with it safely\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMount the engine with all the bell-housing fasteners the pattern allows, not the two that are easiest to reach, and use the correct grade — the whole load and the whole rotating moment go through those bolts. Drain the oil and coolant before mounting where you can, because a rotating engine with fluid still in it is heavier, messier and less predictable than it looks. Lock the casters before you rotate. And never leave an engine mounted at an angle with the rotation lock disengaged.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe stand itself, with its \u003cstrong\u003e360 degree\u003c\/strong\u003e swivel claw, slotted adjustable saddle, rubber-grip handle and four swivel casters. The copy on file does not itemise anything beyond the stand, so treat mounting bolts for your particular engine, an engine hoist and any adapter plate as separate items — the mounting hardware is engine-specific and is not something we would assume on your behalf.

If your insurer, your employer's safety programme or a workshop accreditation requires lifting and holding equipment to carry a specific recognised listing, treat that as an open question and verify it against the manufacturer's documentation before you buy — ask us and we will put the request to Ranger in writing. Regardless of any listing, the load rating assumes a correctly mounted engine on a level floor with the casters locked. Nothing about a stand's rating covers a partial bolt pattern or a sloping surface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipping is worked out live at checkout for your address, so the price you see is the real one. Heavier items travel by freight carrier, and freight delivery is kerbside — you must be able to take the shipment off the truck yourself, or you can arrange to collect it from the carrier's local terminal, which is frequently easier for a workshop or a home address without a dock. A residential delivery carries an additional residential fee, applied once per brand on an order rather than per item. Inspect the shipment before you sign and note any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time — after a clean signature, a damage claim is very difficult to pursue. Delivery is within the contiguous United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger publishes one warranty document covering its product line and we hold a copy for this model. We have deliberately not printed a term here, because the data we hold does not state one and inventing a warranty length for a product page is worse than showing an honest gap — ask us and we will send you the current document before you order. If any part of the frame, the neck or the folding joint is damaged or distorted, take the stand out of service and contact us before welding, straightening or reinforcing it yourself. A structural repair carried out at your end is normally the end of a claim, and on a component holding a suspended engine it is not a repair worth improvising.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-feature-continer kd-flex-row-2\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-feature-item kd-prouduct-feature-content\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFolds upright to conserve valuable floor space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy steel construction for maximum durability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck is reinforced to increase strength and eliminate flex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLong rubber-grip handle eases positioning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHead swivels 360° to easily position engine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlotted adjustable saddle permits quick and easy installation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty swivel casters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4-wheel design provides maximum stability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eHolding capacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e2,000 lbs.
