"You may need to beef up the underside of the truck bed a little more than what the two angle iron support pieces provide but for the cost, it can't be beat. Makes loading heavy objects into the back of the pickup a breeze. It saves my workers from a potential back injury and expensive medical bills!"

"I purchased this pick up crane to relocate a 425lb stand-by generator from one side of our home to the other. The supplied mounting hardware is nowhere enough support to suspend its listed weight rating.The manufacturer relies on the strength of the steel in the pickup bed to support the weight at the end of the cranes boom. We beefed up the support underneith and also a few tack welds for insurance top and bottom.The hand crank for the winch failed on first use and was replaced (again with some modification) with a new crank from a marine supply outlet. The tool itself was pllenty strong enough to do the job and with the modifications,works as stated in the catalog.I am a 35 year master electrician and now use it several times a month without a hitch."
