Jeroen,
You're design is cool. It has one distinct advantage over the ATV lifts (which I've used more times than I care to count) - it clears the tranny. The Sams Club lift shown appears to do the same. The ATV lifts have the piston at a steep angle and it has to go in at an angle to clear the rear hub. One solution is to place a furniture dolly on top of the lift - perpendicular to it. Slide the lift & the dolly under the engine/tranny, and lift the dolly to mate with the engine. You can make positional adjustments as needed. Usually the lift will be sitting between the rear hub & the body, with the dolly perpendicular across it. When you lower the engine the lift has to roll backwards slightly to account for the radius of the supports. Once down the engine is on the dolly, so you slide the lift clear. You can now freely navigate the engine tranny on the dolly. Just don't drive to fast down the driveway with the engine on the dolly - as its not licensed!
