I just assembled mine, and I anchor mine to my SUV. I got it to work on my zero turn mower, 55 miles from home. If I hit something, & need to repair a part, I can lift the mower safely, investigate, and carry on. It’s a heavy tool, but I dissembled it into 3 parts, that fit in the back of the SUV 🚙. I’m a 74 year old man, and I can manage each part.

When this is at its maximum weight, far will it go down...low enough to get a 1000 lb item (probably big) from the bed to the ground with adequate lift height? I can't find any specifications for maximum/minimum height of hook at max weight

[brucewinningham]

Did you guys have the Hydraulic Needle Valve screwed in and seated well on the jack? It looked like it was jacked excessively for no more Lift than you were getting per stroke. It also could be low on hydraulic oil. I think It should have picked that small light load with fewer strokes.

I like it just wondering if they have one that could attach to inside of bed to save all the set up and dis-mantling.

Maxxtow doesnt but I have seen a Harbor freight one that does. Although you need to do some major fabrication to your truck bed to support the weight. The good thing about the Maxxtow is that it takes most of the weight.

Good video, do you know if this hoist crane will work on the 4X4 truck with a 4"-6" suspention lift?

[JosePerez-gtdy]

They got some cool stuff, the other guy, “ yea they also got some cool stuff there. Reminds me of the movie Pootie tang.

Finally a hitch mount crane that doesn't flex al over the place.

Thank you for sharing, your ingenuity of the receiver hitch. A lottle more custom fabrication always desired. The location possibilities are endless. I suspect lift height can be imrproved.  
The failure points on my harbor freight crane was the hand crank winch and at the posts on the taller, gray model. My solution was to sleeve the tall post with an outer pipe of stronger gauge metal. It was my fault, i release the bottle jack way too quick. The weakest part of this lift system is the hand-crank- user beware, I am now Installing a power winch. Should help both failures. $160, taller gray model mounted to 2 of the bed frame rails by the drivers side cab. 13 gmc 2500Then added $120 in an 18" pipe extension and aluminum plate that has a hole cut out to support the post higher up..

Good question, but I have no idea. That would save me some time if it did work.

[johnstratton]

would u happen to know the part number for the yellow handled i have the same kind but i lost my handled to mine

Looks nice, love the swivel, love the swing stability, but it doesn’t deposit deep enough into the truck bed for my needs.

[dougharlow]

it looks like if you use the 1000 lb hole it wouldn't swing around into the truck?

[Steroidsdiesel]

love the reviews guys and awsome close up fottage!

[SabersFury]

I'm curious if this would be strong enough to pull fence posts along with concrete piers out of the ground. Thoughts?

[xmalandy]

Looks like the 1000# position would put a load on top side of your truck bed.

[AlaskaErik]

The arm is way too short.  Using the 500 lb position barely got that gen set into the truck.  Using the 1000 lb position would have you busting out your tail light.

Harbor Freight reaches further all the way into the bed and only cost $99.00 dollars and lift the same

[blondintx]

How did you get that bar on the top in order to attach to did you have to add it?

[josevelasco]

Would love to know if you can attach a chain extension and use the gorillabac screw wheel to lift rounds...this is heavier duty than the gorillabac model.
