Built to easily release the biggest catches
Swing open the tailgate, securely latch it flush against the side of the truck, and hit a button to loosen the load where desired. Our power hoist uses electricity (11′-12′ models) or hydraulics (14′-16′ models) to quickly and reliably release your catch of tree debris.
Optional handles, folding steps, and additional racks allow you to expand your hauling capacity to the roof with easy access to whatever you secure on top.
