Dean,
Ten years ago I was moving a bunch of heavy items while helping the folks move out their house after 53 years in the same place and engine blocks in the shop around here.
I found these hydraulic table lifts to be a great help.
This one lifts 27 1/2 high.

This one lifts high enough to load things into rear of SUV.
Minimum height is 9 1/4 but lifting an engine block 9 inches is quite workable.
If you need higher LIFT ...
This one lifts 34 1/2 inches

I know it is Harbor Freight but they were on sale for $120.
I have three in total now for use in different LOCATIONS.
I even found a used one that HF used in store for 1/2 of that.
These lifts have Hot and Cold running water...
AND FLUSH Toilets!
No $hite burning!
