That looks like a 'Haltrac' engine hoist. They were common enough in most
car accessory shops a few years ago. It might be worth trawling around a
few
of your local car shops.

Trouble with haltrac is the limited lift length. You can buy very cheap
wire rope versions nowadays, but they have the same limitation.

I use a tirfor wire rope winch, which has practically limitless pulling
distance, as the wire goes straight through the unit, no pulleys to get full
up.
