I purchased this to help reduce the risk of injury from lifting my fifth wheel hitch in and out of my 1-ton dually, and I was surprised at how well it worked.Overall, this is a great aid in loading up my truck!
This winch is easy to assemble. Even with short fingers, I had no trouble reaching the bolt hole inside the square tube. The winch lifts a 120 lb trencher with no problem. Anything you lift should be strapped to the platform for safety. This equipment goes together in under 1 minute, and I would definitely buy it again for my needs.
We bought this to easily get our heavy generator into the back of our pickup truck for camping. It is much safer now with minimal lifting required. The assembly was quick and easy, and after practicing with the crank mechanism, we were ready to use it. It fits perfectly, allowing the tailgate to open and lifts high enough to clear the bed. It's very well made and sturdy. We highly recommend it!
Outstanding. Best device ever for pickup and SUV. Replacing the wire rope with a nylon winch belt makes it even better. Truly the best thing since the light bulb!
We have a 90 lb rottweiler/lab mix dog who loves to go with us, but couldn't jump into the bed of our truck. Now, he walks onto the platform, gets on, lays down, and up he goes. We rotate it into the bed, and he knows it's time to walk in. It has changed our livesânow, our best friend can go wherever we go. It takes about a minute to set up, and I am a 65-year-old female, and it's easy for me to assemble on the truck. We made a small improvement by shortening the cable to prevent tangling, and it made a positive difference. We also use it on a 4-door jeep wrangler and made adjustments for easy storage in the back floorboard. Overall, I would give it ten stars if I could!
