Today we're going to take a look at the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for the Companion and Patriot hitches. Now, this is a heavy duty steel tool that'll let you list your BMW fifth wheel hitch from your truck bed with the hoists. It is designed to work with the BMW Companion series or the Patriot 5th wheel hitches.Basically this will lower down into the fifth wheel hitch and the jaws of the fifth wheel clamp around this device for a nice secure grip. Then you just attach a hoisting cable to the opening right up here. Now, the hoisting cable is not included. Then you'll just lift your hitch straight out of your truck bed.
Makes it very easy to remove your fifth wheel from your truck.This is a steel construction. It's a nice gray color. Now the maximum load capacity on this tool is 500 pounds, so you do not want to lift loads over 500 pounds. This part is made in the USA, but that should do it for the review on the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for Companion and Patriot hitches.

Heavy-duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around device for secure grip. Attach hoisting cable (sold separately) to lift hitch out of truck bed.Great invention. Finally I can effortlessly move my hitch in and out of the truck! Just close the hitch jaws on the lifting device, and it is ready to hoist. I love this thing!!
I have used a B &W hitch for several years, and would be hard pressed to use any other brand. The problem I have experienced with this hitch is it is quite heavy, and awkward to remove from my truck by myself. When I found the B &W lifting device, I was excited to use it, and save my back! It has helped me tremendously as I recently broke my back and unable to lift the things I used to. Thanks to etrailer for showing me a better way!

I agree Craig, the Companion is a beast. It's amazing how such a small part can make such a big difference. Stay well.
Lift my B&W companion hitch using this and a winch. Very sturdy, no issues.

Lifting device continues to work fine after a year. No issues.
I use the lifting device and the front loader on my tractor to remove and store the B&W 5th wheel hitch. It takes all of the work out of that task and saves my back. Bill
You cannot go without this helpful tool. Lock it in and hoist the 5th wheel hitch right out!!!
I have used the B&W lifting device to remove my 5th wheel hitch after our camping trips. It saves us time and muscle. I use the lifting device along with my tractor. Well worth the money!!

I used my B&E Lifting Device one last time as I have sold my hitch, it worked just as good the last time as the first time I used it. I know the new owner will be as pleased as I was using it. Thank you,
Perfect for bad backs to use a lift.......easy ,safe, don't forget to close the latch!

You are in good company! Ive heard from folks a lot about how nice this thing is. The Companion with all the components weighs around 200 lbs so its easy to imagine how this would come in clutch.
Very easy to use. Locks in bed quickly. Hooks to trailer quickly.
I absolutely love the product and customer service is always top notch. I wish USPS was not a shipping option. They are horrible.
Outstanding as always thank you all
In bed 5th wheel hitches can be heavy to install/remove. I bought an electric hoist with remote control at Harbor Freight and mounted it on the ceiling in my garage. (attached to ceiling joists) This tool lifts the whole hitch out and lowers it to the floor. Reverse the process to install. No heavy lifting required.
This is the perfect adapter for my B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch! I installed a small wrench on my garage ceiling and now installing my hitch is soooooo much easier! Great price and timely shipping! Honestly I have found etrailer to be a very reputable and trustworthy company to deal with! I have made several large purchases from them and have been pleased every time!
Makes life a lot eaiser
Folks, I had made a way to lift my hitch out of my truck with my electric hoist, worked OK, but Not Safe. I then purchased B & W's 5TH Wheel Lifting device for my Companion Hitch AND IT'S MUCH SAFER, EASIER, AND QUICKER. Highly recommend this unit. Rick

The lifting device for my B&W Compaion fifth wheel hitch has worked out great! I have a double direction gantry with an electric hoist, works perfect for this device and hitch. If I didn’t I would mount a pulling ring and use a hand hoist, Makes quick and secure lifting of your hitch that it fits, Rick

Heavy duty! Works great lifting my B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch. Keeps the hitch level and balanced while lifting.
It was used to install and will be used for removal and servicing of the B&W Patriot 18K hitch that we purchased from you as well. I would like to see better protection for the hitch. I'm very particular. Thank you for your customer service.
I ordered this then got an immediate email from trailer telling me it’s not currently available even though the website says in stock they offered to sell me a deco replacement. The Demco was considerably more. They said could get it to me quicker. I ignored the email and got the item I ordered quick and before etrailer reps said it would be available at all.
I have been using straps to lift my 5th wheel until this tool came along. Fit my B&W patriot slider hitch perfectly and the eyelet for the hook on my lifting hoist makes this a perfect fit!
Perfect item. Went together easily.
Makes this easy to lift out of my truck using a winch

This hitch lifting device is perfect. It takes less than 10 seconds to lock in in the hitch jaws, and I’m ready to hoist using my block and tackle. I can hoist it in or out of the truck in a few minutes.
