I wished I'd seen this before I made my hardtop remover crane. This design is way better than what I came up with.

Very nice. Your use of the scissor jack gave me a great idea for my car hauler trailer. Thank you!

Sweet piece of DIY kit -- thanks for sharing. Cheers, Patrick

The scissor lift is really what makes this such a good idea. Good job

well done mate, thats a fantastic job, nice, clean and simple but highly effective. loving it.

a good 12 volt winch would make this one of the best things to have.its awsome as is ,great device

Nice winch setup/build, great skills and idea's, you have inspired me! Thanks

Great idea, and a cool barn shop too Buddy!

Great job. The screw jack on the bottom is clever. very interesting video. Cheers from down under. Rob

Great job.. I love it when you have a idea and make it real you own way..

I love watching this kind of stuff. People putting their brains and skills to work. Everybody comes up with a different solution. It's great!

That is a back saver right there!

Very slick. I made one similar to yours, but yours is the better design. I love the butt hinge and pipe halves idea. I use mine to install and remove my 5th wheel hitch. I'm going to use your ideas in the re-fab of mine. Thanks SO much for posting.

I can envision a handful of variations on this and I’m sure you can also but the basic geometry design is terrific. Nice job!

Simple and effective - Excellent! Thanks for sharing this.

Scissor jack is a nice touch - yep, 12volt winch is the way to go. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Patrick

Innovative! Yes there are several suggestions in the comments below that would improve your crane, but the basic idea is fantastic. Looks like quite a workout to load that snowblower :-}

Super clever set up and very practical. Two thumbs up.

A tommy lift tailgate is really an option that once you've had one, why did I wait so long! A lotta fun to build I'm sure, welll done.

Awesome idea. Gave me a few of my own. I love the offset, but it needs to be able to be used from either side. Easy fix. Plus a 12 volt winch and an adapter on the jack for a power drill would make it much easier to use. I definitely like the concept. More like this please

bravo my friend very nice crane!

The sizzor iacknis a new twist! Thanks for sharing.

this is one nifty slick idea, , Thanks For Sharing this,

you made me rethink the tommy lift i was going to buy sweet options

Good job bro. 30 years in the welding trade. Keep it up awsome

well i think you done a great job ! well done !

Simple. Effective. Great idea.

Well freaking done!!

Great build my man.

Incredible. I was going to suggest you put a brace. But I saw how you designed and welded the joint. Pretty ingenious!

Nice rig! I really like your plates! CIA!

That's the best lift I have seen. I'm building one just like it using your video as a guide. Only difference is, I'm adding an electric winch and might paint it black. I hope it's not copyrighted. It's still worth it. Thanks for the video

Nicely done !!

Excellent idea sir. Two thumbs way up !!!! One suggestion , the end you slide in your receiver if it was double ended you could use it on either side of your pick up. 👍👍

Thanks so much for posting this, what a great design. I need a lift but don't want to drill and bolt through my truck bed.

Great job on the design and fabrication👍👍

Nicely done!

Brother. Great video love it you inspire me thanks

Briliant idea. Thanks for Sharing. Cheap and Super Heavy Duty Crane. thanks 100x

Nice job!

I know it is homemade...but, would buy one just like that in a heartbeat. And, install a 12v electric winch on it. Well done work there!

Man, that's cooler than a stepmothers kiss. Great engineering. And for all you "why not use a ramp guys" think about it. You can load anything with this setup. Like to see you roll a 500 lb. engine up your wooden ramp, or load half a pallet of concrete blocks!

bordering on shear awesomeness there lad!

great job my friend

Awesome, thanks for the idea.

Hell of a good job.

nice build!

great job!

Excelente!!!!!....saludos desde México.....numero 1....yea

great Job!!! to you guys who can only criticise, knock it off! The welds will hold. were your welds always perfect????it's a good idea. He is creating, building something, passing it on. if don't like it just go on to the next tube.... keep up the good work.

You are great men!greetings from Greece!i like your idea very much!

The idea is good and works good for him. People will always find ways to tweak it to make it better. Part of the reason for putting it on KZfaq is see what other people think. I read a lot of the comments and none of them were real negative. There was a lot of constructive criticism and suggestions to make it better.

Two line of pull and a support underneath. Very nice.

BOOM first thing I see is scissors jack...wise and smart..this is AWESOME! (some call em screw jacks) anyway totally cool

Now!!! That’s so perfect 👌🏽 bruh...!

That's ace, mate.

Excellent idea! I agree with the guy below my post though. The 12 volt winch idea is even better. 👍

I LIKE it! Putting the weight onto the dirt with an attached screw jack is clever. It looks much easier than humping up a big load and I think I have the parts laying around here, hmmm.... Thanks for the inspiration.

This is just beautiful engineering Congrats. I been thinking for a long time on doing something like that to lift my motorcycle in to the bed.

That's really cool!

Awesome. Very creative.

Good Job! from Thailand

Cool idea Great job

Nicely made

Nice job, great idea! ,Very useful

Good design! I'd use a cordless screw gun with socket for both jack & winch cranking.

Very cool idea.

NICE! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job and great ingenuity

GREAT Idea, one suggestion is buy a engine hoist or the Harbor Freight Lift # 1647 or one from Summitt Racing SUM-917036, one person said they didn't want to drill holes in the bed to mount such, WELL all you need to do as this fellow, make the tubing FROM the/a rear receiver to a outside corner of the bed with mounting plate welded to it. You can even use same type tubing with drilled holes in it that would slide/adjust down under the plate to the ground for support.

Nice crane.

GREAT VID and idea. suggestions; com-along instead of crank wench, or electric wench as my truck has outlet for 12v right on that corner, even mounting wench lower would facilitate cranking. still a great idea, keep them coming

good one... thans for the briliant idea

I want to weld up a crane with my everlast. That jack on the bottom is a great idea and takes some of the weight off the hitch and back suspension.

nice concept good vid

nice invention. Well done.

Well done ✅

That is cool ! Kyle

great idea!!! I'm going too build something like it for my flat trailer for scrapping. who cares ifin his welds don't look the best .... as long as they hold!!!

THAT IS SUPER COOL

great job , try winding your winch drum the other way , make it easier on your shoulder

Really nice DIY engineering. The scissor jack addition is really smart. Looks like it does what you need it to very well. If you don't mind, I'd like to copy your great creation for my truck and heavy lifting needs. I appreciate you making this video and showing the close-up pictures on how it was made. Excellent , excellent job!

Made one from your idea, works great. the only thing i did different was put electric wench and a electric trailer jack for the support leg.

Nice idea

A smart great idea.following the KISS principals.

Nice job, Works well. In my sixties, I would have to go to Harbor Freight and buy the 12 V. winch, Badland 2000 lb.

Very nice.

That is an awesome build. Thanks for sharing it with the world to inspire some of us to build our own and giving others a platform to share their well developed skills of belittlement and "shoulda, coulda, woulda" with you. Or, what I call Assholes. Cheers from Canada's left coast.

Great idea for someone with a bad back, or for preventing one.

What a great idea I need that for my truck

Nice design.

Awesome! Patent that!

That's a great idea.

great idea

I was gonna suggest the electric 12v winch also. Like my crane has. I love it.

That is a very simple crane looks good to me.

good job!!! i want to make one!!!

Nice work. Add quick connect nub so older users or the lazy can use their handheld impact drivers.

Impressive

Nice!
