"I bought this to move my RV hitch out of my truck bed as the hitch weighs 250 lbs. With this unit I can easily remove the hitch on my own, when I need the truck bed empty. It is easy to use. The only difficulty is turning the unit as the front wheels are fixed; you need to have room to swing it around. The hoist is well built and really solid, and it was simple to assemble."

"Worked as I planned, I picked up a 900lb lathe and moved to a truck then, loaded hoist and unloaded from truck to new shop with ease with only one person."

"I've used this hoist to remove the engine from my '89 F-150. It worked gr8 and the convienience of the legs folding up to store is awsome! It was just as easy to reinstall the motor after rebuild as well. i would recommend it to anyone wanting to R&R a motor."

Okay hoist,January 23, 2008
By jgrewayfrom Maple Shade, NJ
"I bought this as a home hoist and have used it around eight times in the past two years.. In general it works great and just as it should. It does fold up pretty easy and takes up little space. The only thing that bummed me about it was that the hand pump piston for the hydrualic ram broke and it is almost impossible to find and replace just that part. I ended up buying a whole cyl."

Personal Hoist,October 31, 2007
By Larksfrom Iowa
"I purchased this to aid in building my street rod in my garage. It does a great job of lifting engine/trans and many other heavy pieces that I could NOT lift without 2-3 other guys or this hoist. The best part is that it foldes up to take only about 20" of space out from the wall. That's important to me since I moved and have to work out of the suburban 3-stall garage we now. I'm used to my 24'x36' shop which was larger than my current garage and it didn't have my wife's car in it. :) Great product."
