Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Pick Up Bed Crane 1000 Pound Capacity - Review 

Devices that save you body are some of the most important tools to own. You can buy another crane, you can't buy another spine

God bless America. What would we do without all these amazing tools that are hard to come by in many countries but we can just go pick one up from the store up the street.

a simple small cover over the jack area will keep things from rusting or do like i do and dismount only the top half keep in garage or back seat of track to keep out of weather. place a plastic soda bottle cap on the remaining tube to keep water out for those with out a hole through.

Was waiting to see how it is mounted

Used a crane like this for load large blocks of woods with log pincers. No issues worked great. Replaced hand crank winch with DC volt winch and worked great too.

Just saw your video. Neat idea/project. I’ll be doing something similar. Definitely a body part saver. Thanks again!

Very useful and honest. Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺

Thanks for sharing I’m definitely doing this to mine

Thanks for this video. I’m looking at one of these for a motorized wheelchair. I wouldn’t want to drop it to the trailer bed, though. An electric wench will allow me to lower the chair slowly, and safely.

Thought about buying one for the just in case moments..... good reveiw✅

I might get one and modify it to where it can sit low and then add the extension to sit higher..

Nice video

Good video. I have a question. Where do you get the cap or plug for the jack bottle? Thack you.

Hi… how tall gets the bloom? At its max extension… btw… very useful your review since I’m planning to use the crane in a similar application… thanks

just when i though it would be nice to have a crane on my trailer… did you mount the crane to the trailer? do you need any outriggers/support to lift the heavy stuff? nice video. my trailernis smaller. 1500 lb. my target is firewood.

Thanks for the review! I’m debating between this and an electric winch, same idea. I would use mine fairly often, and I just don’t want to pump and pump and pump. Next I’ll see if anyone had a solution to use a drill to pump a jack, seems like it should be fairly easy..i reckon I’ll do the same you did, except I don’t think I’ll bolt it on the trailer, I’ll just weld it in. One less thing to worry about, usually HF hardware is lacking..

Your cable route over the end rollers is different then the one I received

hi I just watched you video, thanks for sharing I've a question ,I intend to use it for hauling firewood from my ground level up to my patio deck through a flip door in the patio. due to the tight angles, I think I will be only using the hand crank, do you think its possible to lift approx. 250 -300 lbs. ? thanks

thanks a lot

yeah but did you see the release of the weight when turning the screw on the hydraulic jack. That looked really unpleasant. Does the winch allow for a slower release into your transport vehicle or trailer?

Could probably get rid of the wiggle where it pivots by just buying a gasket around that size and putting between it and seeing how long it lasts

What kind of jack is used in their floor jacks?

Add you one of the badland 2500lb electric winch. It makes this thing a breeze with the remote. Best addition to any truck/service bed.

Sweet im putting one in my flat bed. Should handle a plate tamper no problem instead of lugging a skid steer just to move it off the truck LOL

Is it good for engines?

If you release it slow the hydraulic you can walk over and guide your blade. I noticed you release it so fast which is not safe. If you lift heavy weights like me put something under the crane to stabilize the trailer or truck. Best investment and I like this model of crane because if the hydraulic fails you got the winch

Replace The winch with an electric one with a hand held remote. Make life easy.

Hello , after few year , can u suggest this thing ? Do u suggest the 12v winch instead the manual ? Im looking to install it to move stuff from the first floor thrue the basement. Do u think will be ok for a daily usage?

Would it be tall enough to load a motorcycle
