Save your back by using this hoist to load a heavy deer or generator and rotate it into and out of your truck bed. Adjust the stabilizer legs to raise or lower the height of this hoist so you can line it up with your hitch receiver for easy hookup.

Specs:
You're an avid hunter who's just taken down a large buck during your hunting trip, and you want to haul it home to your garage for processing. Or perhaps you're going dry camping in your RV and need to bring an extra generator with you so you can run your AC and stove. This hitch-mounted hoist makes it easier for you to load a heavy deer, generator, 5th wheel hitch, camping equipment, coolers, landscaping rocks, toolboxes, and more into the bed of your pickup truck. This prevents you from trying to manually lift the load up and hurting your back.
Use the adjustable, offset legs to raise or lower the overall height of this hoist, keeping the hitch adapter level to your hitch receiver to simplify hookup. These supportive legs also take on a lot of the weight pressure of your cargo, putting less strain onto your hitch and extending its life.
Because the hitch adapter is extended out, you will be able to lower the tailgate all the way down without interference. You'll need to unspool the cable, which is long enough to reach a generator, cooler or other gear up to 32-1/2' away. Depending on what you are wanting to hoist into your truck bed, you may need a tree strap or ratchet strap (sold separately) to secure it to the hook. The strong, galvanized cable and hook can bear the weight of a deer or generator, and they won't corrode if it's raining or snowing.
To put your cargo into your truck bed, turn the built-in pawl mechanism away from you before cranking the handle next to it clockwise. The molded, plastic-coated handle is comfortable to hold for longer periods of time, and it won't freeze your hands if it's cold outside and you forgot your gloves at home. As you're turning the handle, the machined aluminum pulleys at the top make sure the load is hoisted straight up without the cable binding up.
When your gear has been lifted to where you need it, let go of the handle, and the pawl will automatically stop it from crashing to the ground. You can then rotate the upper vertical upright up to 360 degrees so you can easily position the load where you need it. Then turn the pawl toward you and crank the handle counterclockwise to slowly lower your cargo to the truck bed. Make sure you remove the hoist and throw it in your truck bed or RV storage compartment before driving off the campsite.
Once the 3 pieces of the rack has been assembled with the included hardware, secure the hitch adapter into your truck's hitch receiver using a hitch pin and clip (sold separately) and attach the legs. If you're noticing any wobbling in the rack, especially when it's holding a load, you could switch out the hitch pin and clip for an anti-rattle hitch lock (sold separately) instead. Once the hitch adaper and legs are in place, insert the bottom upright on to the hitch adaper and the winch assembly onto the upright.

This item is only made to be used with a 2 inch hitch receiver for stability and help with lifting loads. The ground stand you ordered Item # 310-VRJ002 is supposed to be used with item # 310-VRJ001. We do have other hoists available here: https:www.etrailer.comdept-pg-Hunting_and_Fishing-pt-Game_Hoist.aspx Be sure to note the different weight capacities and filter on the left to choose between: free standing, tree mount, and hitch mount.

I was so excited to have another option to load my generator that I tried it out as soon as I got it. Worked great, and Ive used it several times with no issue. Much easier than I expected. The part most stressed is the winch. No wear showing yet, but if it wears out it is a common type that is easily replaced. No need for my wife to help loading it now... another plus.

It’s been a year and my initial review still stands. It’s a good product that i’ll use for years. One final suggestion for those boys in engineering would be to move the cranking handle to the opposite side for a scose more room to navigate but i’m using it for a beefy generator and not for hunting.

I only used it once during deer season last year. I harvested 5 deer, but had a hunting partner to help me with four. The lift works great, but is bulkier than I anticipated and hard to assemble by myself. I would go with a lighter one if I were to do buy another. A friend used it to load an unload a generator and it worked great for him.
