HAUL-MASTER 2000 lb. Capacity Truck Bed Cargo Unloader from Harbor Freight 60800

I was needing to unload several tons of rock. I went by and picked up this haul-master truck bed cargo unloader from Harbor Freight, item number 60800. It was only $45 regular price and you can use coupons with it when available. It made unloading my truck ridiculously easy. It took less than a minute to unload over a ton of rock. The only major issue that I found is that the straps they use. I'm not for sure if these have been changed from the original design that called for a thicker strap but the little buckles did not grab into the straps. Harbor Freight also has some cheap straps for around $5. So get you a set of cheap ratchet straps if you don't have any to buckle this down with and I believe you could probably unload much more than a ton of material with this. It worked so well. My truck has a spray in bed liner and even with the spray in bed liner and being 30% overweight from what it claims to be able to handle it still worked fabulously.

The simplest fix to this is double up the roll map. Pretty sure its in the directions. What you are supposed to do is: the raw end is to remain at the end of the tailgate and when you pull out the roll of material you have 2 layers. The tarp material slides along itself very easily. Alternatively just lay out a small tarp in the bed then lay out the unloader tarp on top, with your load on it.

That would certainly make it easier to unload. I pulled the mat over my back window to protect it from getting hit with a rock when the loader was dumping the rocks. It was easier for me to have to wench a little harder than to pay for a new window.

I have a spray in liner so I put a nylon tarp down first. This helps in two ways. First is that it's slicker and the hauler slides across it easier. Second it contains the material that is not on the hauler and makes it easy to unload the last of the rock in the corners.

That sounds like it would make it work better.

I use the same method with a plastic tarp. Learned after cleaning bed after my first load 😂

I added a piece of plywood cut down to a few inches high than the box sides running the length of the box sides. Installed over the wheel wells so the gravel doesn't spill off the drag mat.once the tailgate is lowered I added 2 additional pieces of the plywood to cover the tailgate sides.forming a chute the width of the box.look inside a dump truck box smooth sides for load to slide out.strap the plywood in to the tiedown hooks in the bottom corners of your pickup box so they don't move when unloaded. ver the length of the tailgste.

Smart idea

I suggest screwing a 1" piece of wood to the end of the tarp so you can pull it out and hook it on top of the front of the box when you dump your load into the box. Having a plastic bed liner is the cat meow. It's slippery and it's easy a hell to crank off a load!!

That is a great suggestion.

Yeah, I would say you were pushing it to the limit. Sprayed liner, and 30% over the weight limit. I'm impressed it held up under those conditions. I'm going to need to spread 3 yards of topsoil for the front yard soon. I think I'll get one.

If you can get someone to drive slow while you crank the handle, you can almost spread it while unloading.

@ST-0311 5 ай бұрын

@@ShopRamblings Yup. That's what I had in mind. Definitely better than hand shoveling it out in piles, then spreading it out. Crank it, rake it, done.

Try doubling up the tarp for that bed liner. So it’s sliding on the mesh and not pulling on the liner

Thank you for sharing your experience. Been looking at the tailgate product for a while to help off load mulch.

@ShopRamblings 5 ай бұрын

I reckon mulch would be a lot lighter. This should work out great! 🌳🌱 #gardening #mulch #greenthumb

Always wondered bout them things, I to got loads of rock to get as well...pretty cool...thanx...

I forgot to mention it in the video. When you pull the mat out I brought mine up over the cab of my truck because it has plenty of length. This also helped protect my back window while they were dumping the rocks with the front end loader. Definitely worth the $45.

Might spray bed with something before loading might help
