Portable Pickup Crane Mounts On Tailer Hitch
You'll like this new "HitchHoist" crane that fits into a Class III receiver hitch, unlike other pickup cranes that take up space in the box.
  It has a lift capacity of 750 lbs. (that's fifteen 50-lb. bags of seed or a V-8 engine block), yet weighs only 125 lbs. installed. What's more, it can be moved easily from vehicle to vehicle.
  The HitchHoist lifts high enough to load with the tailgate up. Crane swing is restricted to 110 degrees so loads are deposited directly behind the vehicle.
  The company suggests that all lifts be made on level ground. Knowing this isn't always possible, though, they've incorporated a leveling mechanism to help level the crane in relation to the load. This unique patented safety feature is designed to prevent loads from swinging out of control when rotating the load onto or off of the truck. This feature allows the crane to work without support feet.
  At $995, the company claims it's the lowest priced portable truck crane on the market.
