Lifting Fifth Wheel Hitch

[Teletech]

New to the site so please excuse me if I screw up.
I am trying to locate a Kingpin adapter to help me lift my Hijacker in and out of my f250. I have heard that Demco makes one but I was wondering if anyone else does.

And the back braces :B

It comes apart in two pieces, not really that hard, especially from 5 feet away!

My Demco stays in all summer. In the winter, I leave it in for extra weight in the bed. I tried hanging my old one on kingpin but it was a pain trying to get it to line up when I wanted to reinstall it. Had to get it close and then man handle it.

I heard there is a 5er hitch even a child can remove. :B

Just like a computer, a kid can do it, but us Old Farts.....not so much....????

I think that was a sneaky jab at the aluminum Andersen hitch that only weighs about 35 lbs. Handy, if the most important consideration is that the hitch be really light. Most of us are concerned with the strength, not the weight.

Sorry, couldn't resist an opening like that. LOL

Not a jab at Anderson’s at all. The weight of the hitch is not a factor for me. When I sent to a long bed truck two years ago I had a B&W Companion installed, only its Head has been removed to lube. In my garage I’ve got a hoist I could use, the last thing it was used for was to lift a hardtop off the roadster I sold 7 years ago. Most of what I use the truck for is pulling the fifth wheels but yesterday hauled some lumber home from the lumber yard. Anderson makes a good hitch, I just don’t have a need for it and no reason so slam it with a comment.

Ya, I built a cart for my previous monster hitch, and installed a overhead electric hoist in my garage to remove, and place on the cart. Its nice now, I don't deal with all that hassle with the Andersen :B

Held off until I decided on indoor winter storage for FW up at seasonal site or bring it home. Going to bring FW home. Andersen will be delivered Friday.
