Is this a Spitzlift portable crane? I just ordered 1 for myself. They have a 6-8 week leed time from the time of purchase to the time of delivery right now. I would put a tag line on anything being lifted though so it won’t swing into your truck? Does it come with a storage bag? There is one available but when I purchased it none was available? I look forward to getting mine! Thanks for posting!
Sorry for the lack of comments back to people. I built this years ago because I am a contractor that works alone. I worked with a mechanical engineer to design it, then I built it. I uploaded this video with dreams of creating a small business with the idea. I was contacted by Spitzlift shortly after with a cease and desist. I didn’t even know they existed. I was young at the time, and they scared me with legal actions, so I moved on. Glad most of you liked the idea.
my question is how did you get the rotation at the receiver very impressive next question is did you make it or did you buy it and then from who any hoo very nice
Are you plugging the base of that crane into a Reese hitch??? I seen something just like this today at Harbor Freight Tools for $250 it’s an engine puller but you can use it as a crane like yours also,,, the wheels go both ways on it and it’s got a hydraulic lift cylinder👍
that looks like it puts a tremendous twist on the area that goes in the receiver. if you were lifting anything heavy I would imagine 2 more outrigger braces @ A 45 degre angle would help
Please don’t forget about generator safety: this is something very important for everyone’s safety. This is only a reminder for everyone to make sure that they are aware with all the warnings. Generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. Always keep that in mind. Everyone really needs to see this safety reminder to be sure. We heard that many people have died each year when using generators due to carbon monoxide poisoning and electrocution. There is something very serious that everyone should always be aware of when using generators. Some people do run their generator indoors which is not safe and that increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can cause death of family and you. Some people run their generator in wet conditions which can electrocute them. Here’s an advice about generator safety: please remember that you should never run your generator indoors. Remember that carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that you cannot see or smell. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Keep that in mind. Make sure your generator is 15-20 feet away from your house and away from doors, windows, and vents. Having a carbon monoxide detector is very important against generator safety. Some people also allow children to go near the portable generator which could pose risks. We need to keep an eye on our children making sure that they are not near the portable generator so they won’t get electrocuted or burned by the generator which is dangerous. A locking enclosure also keeps kids safe. A generator shed might look like a tempting place to explore, or take cover during a game of hide-and-seek, but a generator is a dangerous piece of equipment that can cause injury. It says on the manual that we should also keep children away at all times from the portable generator to avoid injuries. Generators pose electrical risks. If you need to use your generator during wet weather, you need a generator tent to protect your generator from getting wet. Don’t let your generator get wet. Keep your generator dry and before using your generator, please make sure your hands and your generator is dry. Everything that is said on the generator’s operating manual should not be ignored. Never smoke cigarettes near the generator. Please keep flammable things away from the generator. Never overload your generator too. Your generator can catch fire. Never ever try to plug a generator cord into a wall outlet to avoid back feeding. Back feeding your generator is dangerous. Always turn on your generator first before plugging in appliances and shut off the appliances before turning your generator off. Use a heavy duty cord for your generator and the cord should not be worn out. All the instructions should be followed carefully. Never refuel your generator while it’s running. It can cause fire if fuel spills while your generator is hot. You should turn off your generator and let it cool off before refueling it. This is only a reminder for everyone’s safety of using generators. Make sure your generator is properly grounded. ua-cam.com/video/I1jT3ANENvI/v-deo.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators. Keeping children safe is also important. Thank you hope you stay safe as well. Hope this advice helps everyone.
I need something like this, 2000 or 3500 pound to load into my pick-up truck Either crank or winch will be fine I like the fact that there is ground support, so to avoid damaging my truck while cranking
I like the foot, as it is especially necessary for heavier loads, over 500 pounds, though I wonder how you get the foot pin out, if you load the truck with 1000 pounds ? I really like the lighter top member, as most designs are one piece and too heavy to lift into place.
In this set up I would use a tire jack to lift truck until that leg support loosen up, dissemble and back in business. Changing to a trailer jack would do it too, if not better then jacking up the truck

WAIT what kind of witchcraft was that??? He reversed the crank handle to lower the gen WITHOUT flipping a lever...how does that work? who makes that winch? I want it!!!
I am almost 64 and do not have anyone to help with heavy loads, so I just ordered two 1500# capacity aluminum folding ramps for that purpose for my truck and may buy the APEX UC-500xl hitch cargo carrier with ramp for my generator and other heavy items for when I am using our SUV.
Ramps can be dangerous in bad weather and still require physical exertion. It can also be used to lift almost anything, not just equipment with wheels/skids like a set of ramps. This setup is easy and safe for a person working alone.
I see one man and a female. Your argument is invalid. You won't always have two people to help you. Worker smarter, not harder.. but you're more than welcome to work harder.
Are you able to speak in complete sentences without inserting "like" and "dude" Like = similar to.... (Your wording is rediculous,,, Nothing would ever be "like" 200 lbs. It either weighs 200 # or it doesn't.... There's no similarity to anything. Dude = a person who is dressed in a certain style, or has a specific set of personality traits. Since you've never met me, you would have no idea about my personality, nor my mode of dress. 2 guys could EASILY lift that thing into the truck.
I've watched about a dozen vids so far and this is the best one yet for this type of setup.
True, this has proper ground support and simple construction. Does not have arm lift like many others, but this lifts straight up.
Yes the best and simple and clean
now that is a sweet setup and idea, the best I've seen yet. thanks for the ideas.
this might be the SWEETEST truck accessory I've seen to date!!! I HAVE TO GET ONE!
You my sir are a very smart man. I wish I saw this years ago. My back thanks you!
Nice design. It seems balanced and proportionate.
easily built, nice vid!
Wonderfull crane set. I need one to lift just a 90 lb outboard motor.
F/A sweet, a couple of minor mods to eliminate the horizontal movement. Dude thanks for sharing
Beautiful! did you build this? or bought it from somewhere? if purchased please advise where to find one?
Good job!

You still could make a business out of it. you have the best design by far of any I have seen. Hats off to you sir.
@@WildAggie202 Agree, can't tell you how much something like this will help
what's the load capacity? I need something that lifts boulders for landscape projects.
Ingenious!
Good V, is this home style or store bought?
I'm making one of these for my shop project at school
@AdirondackNY A twist? Nah, that's what the outrigger is for. To remove the stress on the receiver.
here can I buy one of these?
wow ...very nice and easy...can you use this with washer and dryer? Thx
I need one .... love it.
What is the name of this product? I'm interested in buying it.
my question is how did you get the rotation at the receiver very impressive next question is did you make it or did you buy it and then from who
any hoo very nice
That what I need I'm getting too old to lift it up by my self thanks for the tip. Where can I get this idiom?
Where did you buy this crane?
that's really cool
Like many others here, impressive lift but where in the world did you get it? I have been searching internet and cant find it
Build sheet or prints?... any way to get specs to build this?
Nice system, where can I purchase one
Are you plugging the base of that crane into a Reese hitch??? I seen something just like this today at Harbor Freight Tools for $250 it’s an engine puller but you can use it as a crane like yours also,,, the wheels go both ways on it and it’s got a hydraulic lift cylinder👍
where can I buy that lift at?
very good
Saves busting your back . Good idea
Where can I buy this. So fast and simple. Two thumbs up!
Wonder if this could work on a truck w a cap? Where can this lift be purchased?
Really smart
Nicely done. I've got to make something similar for myself with my everlast welder. Have you thought about motorizing that?
what's the name of the company that makes this crane?
Sweet!!!
I also have a 230 lbs generator that do not like lifting into my truck. I like your crank. Where can I buy one?
Can someone please tell me where I can purchase this ? I scoured the internet for this one . Really appreciate the help.
Nice lift but pricey. It's the Vestil Mobile HItch-Mount Truck Crane and costs about $600 from various dealers online.
Thanks! You're the only person who has named the brand, etc. in nearly 10 years of people asking.
Is this custom built? Or did you purchase this somewhere? One of the most portable and simple designs I have seen and very interested in one.
I wander why he never replied
Nice
Where did you buy it? How much cost?
Where did you get the hoist and how much does it cost?
where can i get one of those lifts? Love it!
Damn were do i get one of these
Nice, How can we get one for our job's
why the seller is not responding to request to buy? weird
Where can I buy one of these.
Where do i get one ???
Nice where can I get one?
that looks like it puts a tremendous twist on the area that goes in the receiver. if you were lifting anything heavy I would imagine 2 more outrigger braces @ A 45 degre angle would help
nah, It's not that much. That's why he put the outrigger. the generator only weighs about 250-300 pounds
Hello are these lifts available for purchase, does anyone out there know?
Where do you order that who makes that cran
Where I can buy?
Muy buena idea
I really like the ezy lift, but this looks a lot less expensive and more mobile
What is the name or brandon from this crane?
I really need to find a good one, and that's a good demonstration... load capacity?

Looking to buy a couple of these, but I can't find a website or how to contact you anywhere. Please email me with more information and cost. Thanks!
That insert pin for top section was short
I need something like this, 2000 or 3500 pound to load into my pick-up truck
Either crank or winch will be fine
I like the fact that there is ground support, so to avoid damaging my truck while cranking
8 please
I If
Same here, I have a winch but need this to unload things
not really sure what the point of showing this if you don't let people know where they can get it...doesn't make sense
At least someone can recreate it
Where do I buy one?
How much does the lift weigh.
No link for crane?
Where can i buy one?
I want one.
I like the foot, as it is especially necessary for heavier loads, over 500 pounds, though I wonder how you get the foot pin out, if you load the truck with 1000 pounds ? I really like the lighter top member, as most designs are one piece and too heavy to lift into place.
GREAT question! Never thought about after loading weight. Switch peg leg to trailer jack I guess!
In this set up I would use a tire jack to lift truck until that leg support loosen up, dissemble and back in business. Changing to a trailer jack would do it too, if not better then jacking up the truck
I have an electric version of that. Got it as soon as I bought my first truck.
YES10 where did you bought it from?

Show off.
I have one similar to this for logs. Lol
Sweet! This must have been made before people started adding nauseating music to their videos.
I need help getting catfish in the back
Cuanto aguanta esa grua
2 pieces of 2x8 and a lil push n ur done
It's like 200+ pounds dude.. is it worth injuring yourself over?
ufff....that spigot is TOO SHORT...
😂 Um, ok.
What sorcery is this?????
How come no body knows where to buy it?
Fuck I want one

Vestil Mobile HItch-Mount Truck Crane
Why not just get the camera guy to grab the other side of the genset?
It's still a lot of work... and you gotta lug those big steel pieces around....
Two aluminum long ramps is better
I am almost 64 and do not have anyone to help with heavy loads, so I just ordered two 1500# capacity aluminum folding ramps for that purpose for my truck and may buy the APEX UC-500xl hitch cargo carrier with ramp for my generator and other heavy items for when I am using our SUV.
why don't you just get ramps?
Ramps can be dangerous in bad weather and still require physical exertion. It can also be used to lift almost anything, not just equipment with wheels/skids like a set of ramps. This setup is easy and safe for a person working alone.
Ever try loading and unloading a 300lb generator with ramps and just you?
too bad it wasnt under 2 minutes
I see one man and a female. Your argument is invalid. You won't always have two people to help you. Worker smarter, not harder.. but you're more than welcome to work harder.
Hes been destroyed and deleted for inventing this
lol!🤣It would be easier if you just get a couple of boards and pull it up from there.
Had to give this a thumbs down due to lack of response as to where to buy this.
Take the foot off that goes to the ground, unnecessary, other than that it's a good system
Are you able to speak in complete sentences without inserting "like" and "dude"
Like = similar to.... (Your wording is rediculous,,, Nothing would ever be "like" 200 lbs. It either weighs 200 # or it doesn't.... There's no similarity to anything.

2 guys could EASILY lift that thing into the truck.
Gee, that only took 2-3 times as long as it would have if you'd just lifted it in manually !!
+james serious lol its so sad
Lifting manually isn’t an option for folks with bad backs. Also, lifting something this heavy generator manually is how you eventually get a bad back.
Where can I get one?
