TWISTEDWILLOW Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Do you mean like a jib crane that swings out and then swings the load back in to the truck bed? if so what are you lifting? Because you can make a light one that can fit into the trailer hitch that’s already bolted to the frame of the truck, then when your done just pull the pin and remove the crane but if your talking about lifting something REALLY heavy the cranes I’ve looked at are hooked into frame of trucks with extremely heavy duty plates and reinforcing, The gantry crane in your pictures I don’t think would help lift something off the ground into the bed off the truck and also a steel one wouldn’t be very portable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Good to see you posting again Angiolino. I believe Billy covered your question well enough for us to narrow things down so we can make good suggestions. We need to know how much weight you wish to lift. The ones Billy shows are probably safe lifting 300kg. maybe more if you shorten the boom arm. A lot depends on your truck is the bed open or is it covered like in the third picture above? A real benefit of the way the one in the second illustration is they can be taken apart easily to transport with the load. That particular one can be mounted either on the right or left rear of the truck, depending on how you assemble it on site. Frosty The Lucky.
