I bought this to put some of my larger tools in my truck and it worked great. It picked up my snowblower and welder with ease and placed them on the tailgate perfectly. It collapses easily and into manageable sections for transportation and storage. Just be mindful of the cable when using it to not put any kinks in the line.

Garbage design and execution. Buy something stable. 1. Stands too far away from truck. Yes it clears tailgate but the overhead angled winch extension reaches to the middle of the tailgate, not to the bed. For anything heavy you will have to muscle it over the tailgate to truck gaps and into the truck. Maybe ok for deer but not machinery. 2.lateral offset from hitch is not thought out, not far enough to hoist from side and extends too far from tailgate to be useful. 3. Winch in on the INSIDE of the hoist so machinery or plywood skid will HIT THE WINCH ON THE WAY UP. Most of these hoist types put the winch on the backside. Not useful or safe. 4. Winch reel is maybe 3/4" diameter not anything reasonable like 3", so you are winding your wire rope around a tiny diameter which: a. kinks it tighter than the wire rope manufacturers' standard "maximum bending radii:" and immediately kinks and damages it. b. causes the twist in the wire rope to push the tight coils sideways. Even guiding the spooling by hand (watch for wire splinters!) You cannot coil it neatly and it randomly shifts and overlaps leading to CLUSTER** like a jammed fishing reel. Then you are truly stuck. 4. The two 'stabilizer' round bar supports fit sloppily into the rig, so everything sways and twists rather than stabilizing. 5. No directions but not too hard to figure out from picture. 6. The welds are crap and possibly outright faulty. 7. The top upright slides over the bottom upright, and is not bolted. It has a metal collar and a bolt that sits in a slot. Bobble your load and any uplift could send the whole thing upwards and collapse. At least drill a safety bolt through the pair of square tubes. If you're going to haul deer once, try it. For any machinery, buy something that actually works correctly.
