How do you remove the crane with the weight bearing down on the bed of the truck when loaded with say, 500 lbs.?

I m not very happy with this product. I got it to lift bees into truck as I am 64 and lifting them is difficult . Oh how I wish I was young again lol

You would have to remove your load before you move the crane. It's an Amazon producy

I don't see how you would be able to remove the crane from the trailer hitch while the crane is holding a load. The crane relies on the truck for stability and to act as a counter weight.

I keep a small bottle jack in the truck and jack the truck up a little to relieve the weight from the lift legs.

Tony, if you're concerned about lifting the hitch in & out of your truck bed, the hitch quickly takes down into two parts. I'm then able to lift each part in & out of the truck by myself (when fully assembled, it's too heavy and bulky for one person). I'm very happy with this hitch - an easy 5 stars.

From above on the left side of the truck look down between the cab and the bed. It is located on the bed side at the top of the gas tank bolted to the left frame rail. It is very difficult to remove unless the truck is raised off the ground.

Other option is a bed mounted lift it mounts in back corner of bed there is one that perminatly mounts and one style that folds down after use it more expensive than this max lift weight is around 500 lbs you may want to try yo find this type.

Once the wheel is cranked up off the ground you pull the sprung pin out and swing the wheeled stanchion to be horizontal with the trailer frame where it locks in place until you are ready to remove the trailer, you then swing back to vertical and crank it up off the ball hitch. Hope this helps.

You push down on the side rail releases and just extend and pull the unit out off the rails. It takes a bit of a pull but it will release.

The only time I would think it would be when releasing the handle to dump it. I can pull it with one hand with a full cart, but that is on level ground. A full cart of dirt can get heavy but only when dumping it.

Take four bolts out were it attaches to the bed rail and you can remove it from there. It would take about 10 minutes

I am not sure what you are asking Angela. So if you are talking about lifting and lowering the vehicle you just turn the to the right to lift and to the left to lower. If you are talking about holding it in place there is a little round knob at the base where the handle is inserted. when you insert the end of tube into the hole there is a square piece that goes inside the end of the handle tube. After that goes in a little bit, pull the knob straight back. it is spring loaded and you will feel the tension on it as you pull it back. Then push the handle in the rest of the way and let the knob go back in. it will lock the handle in. I hope this helps you.

I use my crane on a ford ranger and the I can put the tailgate down with the crane in place. What's nice about the crane is you don't have to use the pin to hold the crane in the receiver if your using the crane so you can pull the crane away from the bumper as far as 2.5 feet and you can slide the crane towards the bumper all the way up to the bumper.

The cab panel needs to stay in place, so you would have to remove it to use the whole bed. It folds fairly flat, and it isn't heavy at all. We have always had enough room (so far) just to slide it next to whatever object are hauling.

Basically just pick it up and put it in you truck. I used a strap to secure it to the truck.

Very easy, if you have a way to lift it. The legs are sturdy castings that bolt to the bed with 4 SHC screws. If you remove the headstock/motor assembly, then it is more manageable. There really isn't much to it. One very important note.....the spindle has a faceplate installed on it with a set screw in it that must be loosened before unscrewing it from the spindle. Many folks, including me have managed to mar the spindle threads on a brand new tool not realizing this.

You can swing it out of the way or completely remove it. No tools required. It just lifts off.

I assume you are trying to remove a bed cover from a 8' truck bed? The boom is not long enough to reach the center of the bed, to safely remove the cap. Might be possible to add an additional piece of tube to the boom to reach center of the cap, but weight capacity would be sacrificed. Don't think it would be a good idea. Got a big tree limb or can you add a lifting eye in a garage?

I think you could, if the object is no longer/higher than the basis of the handle (appr. level of the small wheels), because, after lowering the object, you would need to remove the handle and put it into vertical position to move it as a dolly. Just to let you know that scooping may be little bit difficult with this truck, as the tongue is relatively short.

I use my truck to transport. It isn't easy to lift. I have to put one end in and the lift the other.
