Good point.
I did see load ratings for the swivel when I bought it can't remember
what it was. I will say I have used this setup to install a complete
engine and transmission into a Healey 3000 (heavy iron) with no
problems. I never go under an engine supported by the crane although if
it let go I could loss fingers, toes or break a leg depending on what
I'm doing.
