Works Good,

"Wow, it works. Heavy loads can be hard to crank. It feels like something could break, but nothing has after 5 loads so far. Works much better if the truck is inclined to let gravity assist in the process."

works just like the commercial,

"I use for hauling dirt and yard debris. It works just as expected. There are a few plastic parts (besides just the handle) but they are not high stress pieces so it's fine. I have a spray in bed liner and it still glides just fine out of my short box. 1500 lbs of material is about the max I've used it with. No issues. I roll my toneau cover over the material after it's loaded in the truck and I can haul leaves or sand on the highway without half of it blowing out. Works awesome."

"I'm in the lawn mowing business. I use the "Load Handler "in the back of my truck to unload the grass. I've had wet grass piled to the top of my cab, and I cranked the load out. It's fun to be at the dump site with other contractors. They stop and watch as I unload and drive off in about 2 minutes while they dig their grass out with pitch-forks. In my business time is truly money. If I can save 5 minutes a day in dump time, that's 1 more lawn I can put on per week. That mean I pay for the "Load Handler" many times over in the corse of the summer. The only thing that would make this better is to have an electric motor do the cranking (Hint,Hint,Hint)."

"I was absolutly amazed at the quality of construction of this product. Build with no plastic (except for a grip on the handle) and made to last. this is definatly designed to be a comercial version of this product. Absolutely no regrets about getting the commercial grade load hander."

the load handler,
January 14, 2008
By dadof3plus1

"WOW!!!!!! This thing is great. For me the pros outweight the cons tenfold. It is incredible how quick and easy it is to unload my pick-up. I would definately suggest purchasing the bedliner with it. The bedliner makes the unloading process practically effortless. I was moving rocks in my yard , I loaded the bed up with rock and when it came time to take them off, I didn't even break a sweat. Thirty seconds to unload an 8' bed is possible if you stop midway to take a drink. Ok now the cons. If you use this for dirt or mulch it can be very difficult to operate if the materials get behind the wheel wells. Its called load lock, you will have to remove the stuff behind the wheel wells then crank off the rest. But everything is explained in the directions. I ended up using some plywood as side walls along the wheel wells which worked well. The bed mat really helps the handler glide. My only pet peeve is the bed mat comes rolled up and it takes some time for it to finally lay flat. Also if you get the mat make sure to put the smooth side up when using the handler. A bucket loader dumped 2 yds of mulch in my bed and I had it unloaded at my house just as quickly as he put it in. Don't think twice about this it is all it's made out to be."

Saves A Lot of Time,
October 29, 2007

"The Load Handler helped immensely for landscaping work, It cut hours off of unloading the dirt and rock for the job sites and unloading construction debris. It has unloaded everything I have put on it it can handle a full yard of rock,sand,etc. I strongly recommend buying the commercial grade because it can handle more weight. This product has been a huge time-saver on the job site. I love it. I will have one on all my trucks!"

Load Handler,
July 9, 2007
By RenoUofM

"I own a lawn & landscape business with my son and we purchased 2 of the commercial grade load handlers for our pick-ups. We bag most of our grass clippings so we have to unload the truck beds almost every day. The load handlers have made this job a breeze !!!! We've also picked up 1 1/2 yards of top soil and had no problem unloading. I would definately recommend this product to anyone looking to help make your pick-up trucks more useful and MUCH easier to unload.

This thing really works.,

"Been using the Load Handler for 7 years. I am ordering another one. It is almost as good as having a dump bed, just a little more work. Day before yesterday I loaded my Ford 250 PU with the torn off metal roof and 90 lb slate roofing from my 3 car garage, weighd in at the dump station at 1990 LBS. Cranked it off in 3 minutes. It probably would have taken an hour to unload by hand. Unfortunately the load broke the tail gate on the truck and when it collapsed it broke my Load Handler. Not the Load Handlers fault. That's why I'm ordering another one, I wouldn't be without it.
I use it consistantly to take construction debri to the dump. Works like a charm.
I also have many times used it unloading gravel for my driveway . If you go forward slowly while your buddy cranks, it works as good as a spreader truck.
I really love this thing."
