This is so much easier than loading 2 kayaks onto the top of my SUV, and takes much less time. Only two thick straps required for the Lund bed extender. One of the best things I've ever purchased on Amazon.

But I'm really glad I bought this one

The first one came with rust on it and badly scratched up from the shipping. They did replace it. My biggest problem was that it came with no instructions for assembly, no warranty and no operation manual. When I messaged them for the 3rd time for a link to assemble it, they sent the wrong link. After I figured it out, it worked great for what we needed. The product does what it is suppose to do when you get it together and functioning. Very sturdy and easy to operate after just a few times of practice. It makes the heavy lifting easy. The only functional problem is that the top wheels had to be removed to use the winch without hitting your hand.

It was a total wreck when it arrived, missing parts, and the pump leaking and not supporting weight.Well, Amazon credited me a part of the price. Fair enough.Put it together with eye bolts, and installed a hitch receiver, then wench, etc.I really going to enjoy this item.

Crane does it's job. Unfortunately my box came tore up and was missing the hardware. called customer service kinda got a runaround on the parts. Please do your self a favor and watch YouTube videos on the harbor freight crane. It will give you an idea of what you are up against.

The overall construction seems sturdy but the devil is in the details. The reason I bought this was the range of lift. Any scissors lift that could get down to 6.75” off the ground (4.7” is BS) and up to 57” (if true) would cost much more than $550. But…as with most non-domestic mechanical items, you’d better be prepared to make adjustments/modifications to get it to work as promised. So if you’re not mechanically inclined, look out. Check all bolted connections. Some were intentionally loose because they had to be removed for final assembly (aluminum parts) but others should have been tight (winch-to-frame). One small red wheel was missing a spacer washer and the insert collar to prevent over tightening the wheel, was deformed on one end. The aluminum parts (u should file the razor sharp edges to avoid cuts) must be removed from the lift carriage to slide it into the frame. My unit binds at two locations along its range, which makes the platform tilt a bit at each. I have not figured out the cause yet nor if I can fix it. It “may” break in and be fine. I can live with it if necessary. One design flaw… the unit has four red wheels that allow it to work in a horizontal orientation, but the crank handle will contact the floor before the small red wheels. I removed the black plastic handle, cut off the smallest segment, shortened the bolt and reassembled. If while vertical, the crank handle is left closest (down) to the big wheels before laying the unit down horizontally, the handle will not hit the floor. Not so if oriented up. Winding of the cable is another whole issue that you’ll have to deal with. Wheels are of high quality. I did not receive any instructions what-so-ever. But if u need instructions, u are already in trouble. Assembly should be obvious. Over all, I am so far happy with the purchase. Good luck.

Hook swedge prevents hook passing through boom end. had to grind opening wider. Othert than that all ok!!

Placement in the truck bed was painful but so worth it. I use it everyday. What a back saver

Value for the money

I wish that there were steel plates already designed for installation in GMC pickup trucks.
