Loading and unloading heavy equipment by hand is a risk to your back and a waste of time that could be spent on more important tasks. This electric pickup truck crane can lift to 1,100 lbs (499 kg) and can handle engines, machinery, bundles of timber, and other items that would ordinarily require a second person or rented equipment. It fits right into the bed of your pickup, converting your truck into a mobile lifting station wherever the job takes you.
Four strengthening ribs, which add 26% more structural rigidity than flat-plate designs. The foundation plate is strengthened by those ribs, which prevent the base from flexing or bowing under full load, keeping the crane stable and less likely to topple. The device weighs 87.19 lbs, substantial enough to feel rooted yet light enough for one person to handle between jobs.
Manually cranking a load up and down causes fatigue and unpredictability and puts you unnecessarily close to swinging goods. This crane is matched with a 12V electric winch that handles lifting and lowering via a powered cable, so you don’t have to work hard and can work at a steady pace. Your truck battery powers the winch, so there is no additional power source to lug around and maintain.
There’s a tethered pendant and a wireless remote to control the load so that you can stand well clear during operation. The wireless remote is powered by one 23A 12V alkaline battery (sold separately) and lets you operate lifts from a safe distance while preserving a clear view of the load path. That remote feature adds safety and control to every lift, especially in tight corners of the workshop or on uneven terrain where it is impractical to stand next to the crane.
Not all loads are the same distance from your truck bed, and a set-length boom forces you to move the vehicle rather than the crane. This telescopic boom reaches three positions, with an operating range of 45.7-65.4 inches (1,160–1,660 mm). You pick the reach for the job, secure it, and begin the lift without moving your truck.
The boom height also ranges from 46.5 to 82.7 inches (1,180–2,100 mm), providing the vertical clearance to lift items over tailgates, trailer walls, and workshop barriers. A dual-cable pulley system runs through the boom for smoother, more controlled lifting and lowering. That slower, steadier cable movement reduces load sway and improves placement accuracy, which is important when setting down an engine block or lowering sensitive equipment into place.
If you can't get it to where it needs to land, then lifting a load straight up only does half the job. This electric pickup truck crane boasts a boom that rotates 360 degrees around its base, so you can pick up items on one side of the vehicle and drop them off on the other without moving the crane. The rotation ranges from 45.3 to 59 inches (1,150–1,500 mm) from the center post.
That 360-degree turn is especially beneficial on construction sites with tight quarters or barriers that keep you from backing up to exactly where you need to be. Workshops offer a similar benefit, as you can move items from a floor pallet directly onto a workbench in a single action. The 360° swing, combined with the telescopic reach, enables you to place things exactly where you want them, not just along a straight vertical line.
Rain, humidity, road salt, and temperature fluctuations eventually corrode unprotected metal on outdoor lifting equipment. The frame of this crane is made of carbon steel and coated with a galvanized protective layer that protects the surface against moisture and corrosion. That combination provides the strength of structural steel and a weather-resistant layer that ensures it performs in environments where bare metal would start to corrode within months.
The coating is also resistant to scratches, scuffs, and impact marks associated with everyday use around truck beds and workshop floors. Minor surface damage does not delaminate the underlying steel, unlike paint-only coatings, which chip and peel under mechanical stress. For contractors, farmers, and shop owners who leave equipment mounted year-round, this galvanized finish helps reduce the need for seasonal maintenance or re-coating, keeping it working and structurally sound.
If you leave your crane extended permanently, you will have clearance problems in garages; it will impede your rear vision when driving and reduce what else you can carry in the truck bed. This electric pickup truck crane folds down to a compact profile, so it’s out of the way during transport and storage. Operating the folding mechanism requires no special tools, so changing from working to stored positions takes minutes, not an involved breakdown.
When folded, the crane is low enough in the bed to allow for additional cargo, tools, and materials you need to bring along. It also stores flat in a shop corner or against a wall without taking up too much floor area. Crews that travel between job sites every day and weekend users who only use the crane periodically appreciate the fold-flat design, since it is always ready to go without permanently taking up truck bed real estate or garage space between tasks.
