Neat contraption. You'll get a lot of heavy lifting done with your crane. Enjoyed a full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 12/31/23

A friend, I watch the video, and I regret that I do not know English. You're pretty, you did everything clearly. 1000 Like

To prevent bending you could weld in a smaller square piece inside of the existing square piece. Double wall!

I've got the same Crane in my pick up bed adding the electric winch is a must have the wireless remote is a real work saver

I bought one of the HF load levelers back in the eighties and have not used it a whole bunch but when I needed it it made the job a lot easier. Pulling engines with transmissions out of trucks was a breeze tipping it one way then the other. Same with pulling engines out of crowded engine spaces in boats and the V drives and Gears as well. Well worth the purchase and I have never had to repair anything on it. On KZfaq I see guys pulling engines which are all askew coming up against the firewall or radiator supports with no way to work the load. Good idea to buy one.

Thank you for this video... That was a great test to put it thru.

Excellent. Thanks for the inspiration.

Pretty cool! great video--I installed a 1000 lift on my trailer hitch on my 2500--ie--not permanently but can be bolted--used it to buy a 400 lb hf sheet metal bender...

To make the setup as useful as possible, weld three more corresponding mounts ahead and behind the axles. Your jack legs will suffice for the rear lifts.

Good video. Felt like I was there with you.

Dump the stabilizer, use 1 strap or chain. Plus a tag line.

You can just use a single point lift... we did that with telephone poles loading them on a trailer, after you do it a few times, you can just look at it and know where the center of gravity is.

That’s a great ideal where did you get the bottom part to attach to the trail I saw you and I order one but don’t want to welded to my truck

That little HF lift made it look easy. Without it you would have had a tough time. I'm building a crane trailer and think I'll mount something like this on the top deck . Thanks for the ideas

Good addition I am building a dump trailer - think I will add one like this. Cheers

I have the HF bed crane. It comes with a chain and hook. I also bought the ATV winch. I’m going to weld and bolt it onto the crane. Which pulley would you suggest to replace the chain and hook?

I might add a 3500 lbs electric winch wired into the trailer for lifting.

You've got high expectations of 4 inches sir

Just a thought, instead of having to remove the crane when you drive down the road, you could just cable out and attach your hook to one of your tie down points and then tighten it down.... Then it'll never come out... Pretty neat though!

ive been thinking about doing something like this but swapping the hand winch out for a 12v winch and then id pre pump up the jack and suck the weight up with the winch

nice easy to build.

Why not drill a hole or two into the square tubing for pins?

What is it mounted to

It doesn't take a 1000 lbs to bend it's less trust me you better beef it up I did with 3/4 rear end axles and made the pins from the small hole they give you to 3/4 pins with washers that you can weld on to upgrade to being beefed up I also took well pipe to the receiver hitch on the back of the truck and then I took more well pipe to the gooseneck ball it strengthens the crane hoist I also didn't use the hand winch that came with it I used a 5500 lbs winch to power the cran hoist!

I did this exact crane into a hitch mount
