5th wheel hitch lift

I belong to three different trailering forums and don't remember where I saw a similar lift someone had built. I used the general idea of his and built this one. It fits into the hitch the same as the pin on the trailer. Lock it in place and use a cherry picker or overhead hoist to lift it and save your back. I just used what I had on hand

I found an eye bolt in my dad's junk pile, welded a 4" flat plate on the end of it, and used it just like you're thinking of doing. Found a cheap engine hoist to lift my Companion out in one piece then dropped it on a $10 furniture dolly from Harbor Freight. Sold the engine stand that came with the hoist, so was only out about $50, total.
