⚡ E1.14 Installing Lift Kit for a Honda EU7000is Generator 

Many thanks, I have learnt so much watching your tutorials, first on the fuel pump relpacement and now the spitz lifting arm, I took delivery yesterday of an indentical generator and had to use a trailer winch and ramps to get the unit off the trailer deck and safely onto the garage floor, appreciate you both for generously sharing your knowledge, Best wishes KPPnz

I can tell you from loading many many things in a truck by myself and 2 back surgeries later... This working smarter not harder is great to see!

I have to tell you guys. I finally broke down & bought both the lift kit for my Honda EU 7000is & The Spitz Lift pick up truck crane. You guys were the ones that opened my eyes to The Spitz Lift crane. I always wanted a better solution to the premium folding aluminum ramps I previously bought. Especially with lifting the generator which doesn’t have any means of being self propelled or my pressure washer. I want to thank you both for enlightening me to what’s available out there? I hope both of you are well & still friends? Best regards.

You are welcome. Glad i was able to help in something. Looks great i love it. Am sitting in a hospital right now when i saw this video i just had a babe girl woot woot. Sorry just wanted to share my happyness. :)

Being able to lift things seamlessly into your truck or van with the Spitzlift is a huge blessing. I love the fact that they’re an American made product! Great video guys!!!

Wow. Very Cool !!!! Thanks for the video.

Nice video, this lift is perfect! Comes in handy, I can’t be lifting my 100 pound generator at my age. My son won’t be around to help all the time. Thanks!

The owner's manual shows the correct placement of the bar as well as the torque values for the bolts...

Enjoyed watching you guys. Normal do it yourselves kind of guys!

Glad I watched the Video I need that lift to load and unload mine.👌

I like the handle kit - I'll get one for sure. My tractor with front loader rigged with chain/hook wrapped around the bucket is a good way to lift and transport the generator around my property. Way less fiddly than a SpitzLift plus pickup.

I am impressed, and a great source of exercise.! 😀

Awesome video!!!

That hanger lift kit is very nice and good video and presentation. Can you provide the center to center dimension of your generators top frame bars?

Wow!!!!

I found if you slide the lift bracket in towards one side near the back it goes all the way through so you can move it back over under the other side. At least it worked on my eu6500

I like that lift setup. I could get used to that in my tool collection for my truck. Could you tell us more about the lift. Make a video of it. How many pounds it is rated for to lift. Where can you purchase one.

It's still looks like a lot of work... carrying those heavy bulky pieces around to put it together... However... it appears to work great once assembled..

Pretty neat but I use winch lift straps, 3,000 pound capacity and I believe they cost about $12 @ Amazon and for winch I use a Warn Pullzall. Portable and 1,000 pound capacity. If you modify that hoist with a small 12 volt winch, life will be a lot easier.

What is the distance between the bars

Ramp > all

292? Ours is closer to 350 lbs full of fuel. I would be using my engine crane to hoist that into a truck bed. It's also cheaper, since the SpitzLift is over $2000.

nice sandals for loading heavy shed in the truck

You can't lift that? Eat more WHEATIES SON! 😁 Damn, that's a BEAST of a gen. Nice crane and appreciate the video. Better the assist than walking around like I am now at 50 like I'm 80 from lifting to heavy loads. Be smart guys it DOES catch up to you. Believe it coming from a guy who's back is shot.

Simple aluminum ramps?

I pick my eu7000 up by hand and load it on my sons f350 it’s heavy but im 60 now and things feel much heavier to me now

This should be standard on a high quality generator.......

Would a ramp be a cheaper option?

Were did you buy the loading rig from & how much?

can i use this (Honda generator diesel eu7000is) for desktop computer (500W, 240V, 4A, or above) with no problem? if there's problem, what solution/s? using a AVR or something? ... .

How were you getting that gadget in the truck before? I am looking at the same Generator for a similiar Airstream we are contemplating. A 33 FB. Yours looks like it is a 30'? I was thinking of ordering the truck with stowable Ramps and using a come-along to bring it up the ramp.

I tried moving my Honda generator up the ramp on my toy hauler...nearly made it to the hospital....I guess you then have load all that stuff with you when you go camping..maybe I can come up with another idea.

I'm sure someone has downloaded the installation procedure on RU-vid 😊

I guess the good thing about a 270lb generator is that noone is going to steal it out of the back of your truck.

A ramp would be better...I load mine using two thick plywoods as a ramp....

it only weighs 292 lbs, why not just pick it up

BP up 50 points waiting for something to happen

Wow, no comment

Sounds like that lift needs a little bit of Grease x

That seems ridiculous, but to be fair I haven’t watched enough videos to know why you need a 7,000w generator.

I was going to leave a comment but then decided against it.

Chuck Norris has his face in his palms, shame on you.

Geeze man, don't scratch that beautiful Honda crimson paint. That's not a workbench! OMG, he's gonna sscratch it. @least open up the cardboard box for a base. No shop work in flip flops. I can't watch anymore.

Two guys can’t pick that up?? Give me a break. The specs say it weighs 262 pounds. What a joke.

Why do I have to watch you opening a cardboard box? Come on man, get on with the non narcissistic FYI.

Why not just stay home instead of dragging civilization along?
