I needed a way to be able to place and remove the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. I didn't want to always rely on asking my neighbor to help me lift it in and out, so I made this frame out of 2" x 6"s 8' long.
At the base of the uprights, I cut it at 5 degrees, to the two uprights would lean in and stand at 85 degrees. I blocked between the uprights at the base, half way up and at the top as a support for the cross beam. The upper block was also cut at 85 degrees to compliment the lean of the upright where it supports the horizontal beam.
