Crane New 1100lb Folding Dismountable Truck-Mounted Crane, with Electric Winch 3500 lb 12V, Painted Steel Pickup Truck Jib Cranes

Boom arm is approximately 30 inches long with two ten inch extensions.Works well for me moving 8-12 inch diameter by 10 foot long green cedar posts. Though the trailer needs reenforced now.

After installing the mounting plate into the bed of my truck. I put together the cranes arm and immediately noticed how crooked it is.. Very disappointing with this products defect and I’d have to return the entire product, order another, and then install it to correct this issue..

The crain is post-to-be foldable. The base of the crain is warped and the pins can not be inserted to allow the crain to lay over. The warped base is form the manufacture welding process. Your choice is to permanently mount the crain base without having the option of folding the crain over or to return the crain or not to buy. A few people with a shop and welding equipment might re-make the base, but then you take full liability of your work.

Ease of assembly

After two attempts at shipping the item arrived with a damaged packaging and some small parts missing. The alignment of the holes in the base plate and those in the mounting plate did not match thus the mounting pins would not fit. required reaming bit toto correct one side and grinding and re-wielding for the other side.

The winch part of the product arrived defective. Company steered me to Amazon customer service and Amazon customer service would send me a replacement, but I would have to uninstall the hoist repackage it and get it shipped back which as you can imagine would be a colossal waste of time. They would not replace the winch alone.

The Jib is excellent quality and welded solid. I am very happy with the crane overall however the winch definitely leaves a little bit to be desired. The winch is rated at 3500 lbs however I tested it before I mounted it and it struggled at 500 lbs with a brand new battery. I would be incredibly shocked if it could lift 1000 lbs without getting stuck. I replaced the winch with a 2500 lb winch I had and the replacement winch is quicker, quieter and can easily do 1000 lbs. I do not think the winch is a deal breaker however it's something to consider. I was worried about the modular base but it has proven very solid.

Heavy duty base crane to go with our winch.
