    Many thanks, I have learnt so much watching your tutorials, first on the fuel pump relpacement and now the spitz lifting arm, I took delivery yesterday of an indentical generator and had to use a trailer winch and ramps to get the unit off the trailer deck and safely onto the garage floor, appreciate you both for generously sharing your knowledge, Best wishes KPPnz

    I have to tell you guys. I finally broke down & bought both the lift kit for my Honda EU 7000is & The Spitz Lift pick up truck crane. You guys were the ones that opened my eyes to The Spitz Lift crane. I always wanted a better solution to the premium folding aluminum ramps I previously bought. Especially with lifting the generator which doesn’t have any means of being self propelled or my pressure washer. I want to thank you both for enlightening me to what’s available out there? I hope both of you are well & still friends? Best regards.

    I like the handle kit - I'll get one for sure. My tractor with front loader rigged with chain/hook wrapped around the bucket is a good way to lift and transport the generator around my property. Way less fiddly than a SpitzLift plus pickup.

    Pretty neat but I use winch lift straps, 3,000 pound capacity and I believe they cost about $12 @ Amazon and for winch I use a Warn Pullzall. Portable and 1,000 pound capacity. If you modify that hoist with a small 12 volt winch, life will be a lot easier.

  • @raceabilene

    292? Ours is closer to 350 lbs full of fuel. I would be using my engine crane to hoist that into a truck bed. It's also cheaper, since the SpitzLift is over $2000.
