I hated the fact that my cherry picker took up so much shop space, and it was only used for one thing.
Before I got my two post lift I was able to used it to drop the body on my engine and transmission. I took an extra set of front bumper brackets and extended them. I then added a square bare between them. My engine stand base with a sheet of plywood on it held the k member and engine/transmission. Using the picker to lift the body up I was able to roll the engine/transmission/k member under the car. Then a floor jack was used on the tail of the transmission, for adjustment. It worked great.

Now that I have a two post lift I added a HF transmission jack adapter on top above the hook on the cherry picker. Using an appropriate sized hole saw for the T. adapter post I also then drilled and taped a hole for a hold down bolt. This way it can be removed if need be. This is a nice sturdy safe way to remove a transmission with the car way up high on a lift on the cheep.
