Regarding the pickup bed hoists, I bought one at harbor freight and had a subframe welded up to through bolt it to. Subframe was basically two 1/4" plates welded at a 90 degree angle with some long gussets. (snip)
Will it fold down out of the way for use with a fifth wheel hitch?
Can it lift a fifth wheel hitch in and out of the bed of a truck?
Can it lift a 100# generator into the bed of the truck?
Can it be easily removed?
It would rest along the side of the bed rails... I mounted mine on the driver side. I always man-handled my 5th wheel hitch into my truck, but it definitely could have done the job. I just moved it to the side when I towed. It could be removed, but the pivot/anchor post remained bolted to the frame (through the bed). This basically consisted of a section of tube about 4" in diameter and about 12" high. Neatly behind wheel well, so it really didn't get in the way.
