Video Transcript for What to Know About the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket

Speaker 1: Today we'll be having a look at the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket. Part Number DM6100. Many of our customers here at etrailer have come to us and have expressed that they've had experienced difficulty in the past when it comes time to remove the 5th wheel assembly from the bed of their truck when they want to have full access to it when they're not towing their trailer. Many have also said that it takes two to three people sometimes to remove a 5th wheel assembly, especially when they have a slider, such as this one, because the slider assembly adds a lot of weight. When you want to make it a one man operation, that's where this Demco Lifting Bracket comes into place.As you will notice it looks like a kingpin. That serves a purpose of sliding into the jaws of our 5th wheel giving us a solid attachment point.

To utilize it we'll simply open our jaws of our 5th wheel. With the jaws open we can insert our lifting device. Making sure we watch our fingers. Enclose the jaws around it. With our lifting adapter now in place we now have an eyelet here to attach a cable or chain to a engine hoist, a standard hoist on a ceiling, a crane, a wench, something of that nature.

Any lifting device that you have where you can attach a cable to properly. We can use that to lift this out of the bed of our truck.Now this lifting device is made of a sturdy steel construction and has a lifting capacity of 500 lbs., which is minimally sufficient to handle most every 5th wheel regardless if you had a slider or not. For a few dimensions for you, you're looking at 5-3/4" tall, from the very base of it to the very top of it. Diameter here is 2", just like your standard kingpin. The base is 3" wide.

The eyelet opening has a diameter of 1-1/8". That completes our look at the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket. Part Number DM6100.

Works great. I have a lift in my garage and I use the bracket when removing g and installing my 5th wheel hitch on my truck. I lower it on to a dolley and then roll it out of the way. So easy to use, I remove it after every camping trip.

Follow up on demco 6100 lift bracket. Has been a little over a year and bracket working out great. 2017 ram 3500 truck,curt a16 fifth wheel hitch,pullrite bed adapter all inclusive abt 300lbs. I am 66 years old and cant lift what I used to be able to. Sure I can remove in pieces and do it without lift and bracket but is a lot of weight for me.Bracket and lift make it possible to remove in 1 piece with way less wear and tear on me.BIg plus is I can do it by myself.I lift to bed of truck on to 2x4s then remove bracket from hitch from there can push into position and in puck system.bracket works great.

Still working like it should.

Welded extremely strong and also powder coated. It would take forever to make one of the same quality. A little bit on the pricey side but worth it. I can easily lift my fifth wheel hitch in/out of the truck by myself with a winch.

Still working great. Strong and sturdy hoist. Can always count on it.

The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket - DM6100 works great with my over head winch for lifting my Demco 5th wheel hitch from the bed of my truck. Just clip into 5th wheel, make sure 5th wheel is latched. Then raise winch and drive out from under hitch. I then lower onto a cart to move. one person job now! No strained mussels any more!



by:

Great product, great service from etrailer!

Excellent solution for effortlessly lifting our fifth wheel hitch from the bed of the truck. I installed a hoist on the garage ceiling to do the lifting and rather than struggle with straps around the hitch to hook to the hoist, this bracket easily slides into the hitch and provides a no brainer way to raise it up. What ever method you use to lift your hitch (cherry picker, engine hoist, winch, ceiling hoist, pallet forks on a tractor, etc) this bracket simplifies the process. No chains, straps or ropes. Slide it in place, hook it up, and go.

AND, the item arrived 2 days earlier than originally projected!



by:

It does what it’s supposed to do….help you lift the hitch off your truck with a winch or tractor.



by:

Only using this twice a year it’s hard to judge long term but it’s solid,it’s simple and it works fine.Just the ticket to easily remove fifth wheel from truck bed.

Still going strong! Makes lifting the Pullrite in and out of my truckbed much easier! Have always had success using strainer and their products!



by:

Works great. Lock in, hook up, pick up, Done. My Demco 21K Autoslide hitch is about 300Lbs of pure greatness but tough to manhandle by myself. This makes it easy, along with my chain hoist of course.



by:

I have a Demco Autoslider for my 40' fifth wheel and F-350 6 3/4' box. It is a great hitch, but weighs a lot and installing and removing the hitch is not easy given the weight. I had previously used straps, however getting the hitch centered on my chain hoist took some work. The Demco lifting bracket makes that task much easier.



by:

I was pleased to find this helpful tool. When lifting my fifth-wheel hitch out of my truck bed I used a rope that I tied around the hitch in order to lift it with my engine-block crane. It wasn't very satisfactory because the hitch lifted out at a bad angle due to the locations I chose in order to run the rope around the hitch, and my knots could have slipped. There had to be a better way. There were no suspension connection points installed on the B&W Companion Hitch, to assist me, so I sought another solution. This fitting does the job perfectly.



by:

Makes instalation and Removal a breeze. I use this and a tractor to lift. No more fighting to wrestle the hitch.



by:

Great tool for removing the Curt 20k 5th wheel hitch. I bought a hoist from Harbor Freight and installed it in my garage. I also made a coaster for the hitch so that I can wheel it around. Now all I do is insert the 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket into the mouth of the hitch, close it and I'm done. No more strain but a lot of gain.

A little expensive but worth it and they need to add this product to "5th wheel hitch accessories" to make it easier to find



by:

This does the job. I'm thinking about welding a handle under the eye to facilitate easier mounting to the fifth wheel.



by:

Feel free to use these pictures. Highly recommend. Lifesaver for people who are getting too old to handle these hitched by themselves.



by:

Works great, I use with a manual chain hoist in my garage and lift the entire hitch off and on the truck and leave it hanging when not using the hitch.

It works quite well. However, I have gotten lazy and do not take the hitch out of the truck unless forced to!



by:

Works great. This and a portable engine hoist from Harbor Freight allows me to remove a heavy 5th wheel slider hitch from my truck alone !



by:

This part does the job of lifting the 5th wheel hitch off the truck bed. It is a little loose working the jaws are closed, but when loaded it is tight. It is a good tool.

Did the job put my fifth wheel 18k together on my garage floor no way you could pick it up hooked to my tractor bucket set it right in the pickup will send pic next time I get ready to hook up

  • Lube Plate And Lifting Device Needed For B&W And Demco Fifth Wheel Hitches
    If you go with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3770 you could use a lube plate like part # RP83002 to help prevent scratches to hitch head instead of using messy grease. if you go with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550035 you wouldn't be able to use a lube plate. As for the lifting device, B&W has part # BWRVXA3130, which you lock into the jaws of the hitch and tie to a hoist to help lift the hitch up...

  • 2022 Ford F-250 OEM or Aftermarket Puck System for 5th Wheel Towing
    Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing out on is an in-bed 7-Way socket but that can be added pretty easily if you install a wiring kit like the Bargman # 50-97-410-010. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, 18K # DM8550024 or 21K...

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3370 weighs in at 263lbs. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Ford Super Duty Prep Package # DM8550024 weighs in at 304lbs.

    The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670 that fits the factory rail kit your truck has that you referenced weighs 303 lbs. That is quite a bit of weight to lift in and out of the truck bed but the head does come off of the hitch to make it a bit lighter weight.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty 8 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Pkg.
    Both of these manufacturers build their 5th wheel product stateside, Curt does have other product that is sourced from overseas but not the 5th wheel hitches. Curt Manufacturing is in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with B&W in Humboldt, Kansas. B&W also promotes that their products are not only built in USA but built with raw material sourced from the USA and not imported steel.

The Hijacker is designed so you don't have to get out of the truck to adjust the slider when making a sharp turn which can become very inconvenient especially in cold weather. The Hijacker will give you about 14" of travel for cab clearance and 3" of adjustable height for bed rail clearance. We do recommend to have...

If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket item # DM6100.

    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 is big and weighs in at approximately 275 lbs. It will fit your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system but does require the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099. The adapter is about 90 lbs, putting the total weight to be in the 375 lb range, though the trade-off is that you get one of the best 5th wheel hitches in the industry, not to mention the one that is the most convenient....

    The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C64BR weighs in at about 185 lbs altogether. You can separate the legs and head to cut that weight in half to help make it easier but you'll still be dealing with about 90 lbs each - so it's definitely possible for 1 person to move around but it won't be a walk in the park. The base of this system is designed to fit the Ram OEM puck system from the factory. If you want to make things easier you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100...

It comes with plugs for the 4 attachment points so you don't have to worry about them filling up with debris either. This 4-point mounting system is compatible with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide which is available as an 18K Model # DM8550022 as well as a 21K Model # DM8550037.

  • Recommendation on How To Easily Lift Demco Autoslider Into Bed of Truck
    This is a great question. We actually addressed this with Demco and we came up with a solution. They started making the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 which can be used with an engine hoist, or winch. This allows you to easily load and unload a heavy hitch like the Demco Autoslider # DM8550034 into or out of the bed.

  • Recommendation for Removing Demco 18K Hijacker Auto Slide from Truck Bed
    I reached out to my contact at Demco, and they said the 18K Hijacker autoslide # DM8550034 weighs enough that the slider portion could engage in that operation. They do not recommend putting that weight on the hitch and kingpin/pin box. Your best option is to manually move your hitch to the rear of your truck. The safest way would be with two people, or you could use a crane. The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 will assist with that. I recommend you get a friend or two to help...

  • Can I Use Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket With PullRite SuperGlide
    The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket part # DM6100 will work well with your PullRite SuperGlide. The capture plate is on the actual pin box of the trailer so it would not affect the use of the Demco lifting bracket. You would just open the jaw of the SuperGlide with the handle and put the lifting bracket in the jaws. Then you can lift the fifth wheel hitch from the truck with a cable.

    The Viking Solutions Rack Jack Hoist with Winch for 2" Hitches - 300 lbs # 310-VRJ001 will work to remove and install the hitch based on the Curt Q16 hitch weight with sliding base. I recommend using the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 that will fit into the jaws of your hitch where the king pin would sit for a strong connection for the unit to work well for you. This will likely not be able to place the hitch in the rails or pucks due to arm length, so some manual lifting...

I would instead install part # BWGNRK1116 in the F-250. I then recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, part # BWRVK3400.

The Hijacker is one of the most convenient fifth wheel hitch options on the market because you don't have to get out of your truck to adjust the slider when you make turns which can become inconvenient especially in city traffic or bad weather.

The three separate pieces are the head which weighs around 60 lbs, the base which weighs around 180 lbs, and the side brackets which are around 60 lbs as well for a total of 300 lbs.

The jaws will not automatically close, they will remain open for you to reconnect unless you manually close them.
