I though the pull rite was ~350 lbs, and had no idea was that easy to remove capture plate.
What kind of hoist for $50?
Grand total of all PR SG parts (hitch, head, rails) is probably about 300-350 lbs. Sounds like what was indicated on my shipping boxes.
Hitch & head (alone)... about 250#
How to lift that easily?.:@
Best = One finger lift, LOL!
HF (110V) electric hoist with remote.
About the size of a lunch box, weighs about 35 pounds.
Cost - 440 lb capacity = $100. - 880lb capacity = $125.
Hang it from a garage rafter -or- a 4x6 supported by two stationary objects. Back under, push button, lift hitch. Drive out - lower hitch onto a furniture dolly roll it "wherever". About 5-10 minutes.
Next best = "Cherry Picker" type engine hoist - about $150.
Roll hoist legs under bed of p/up, lift hitch, roll hoist out, then to the furniture dolly.
Other choices:
Crane hoist.
Chain hoist (the $50 system).
And - probably some others I've missed
Any of 'em can be handy to have around for other chores..:B
