Truck Load Lifting Tool - Home Made

- The 5.5 foot ramp is made from 2x3's and a piece of 3/8" plywood.
The sled uses 1/2" plywood and short pieces of 2x3's.
Candle wax was used to lubricate the ramp and the sled.
Two Ranger tailgate 1/4" star screws are used to prevent the ramp from slipping off.
Note the short piece of 2x3 underneath the ramp to prevent the ramp from being lifted into the truck.
The Dewalt DP3750 is too heavy for me to lift.
Works like a charm.
I broke my back and have been working on a crane, but your idea is outstanding! Cheap and easy to make A+ from a retired teacher. Love your ingenuity! Kudos! A round of milk and cookies!
Boyntonstu - Hats off to you for working smarter not harder. I like the design, the winch being out by the tailgate gives you mechanical advantage and a good control point. The wax part was a really nice touch, even though you didn't actually show it. Never under estimate the value of lubrication.
I rented a main line power snake for a plumbing emergency. I could lift it out of the truck fine, but It was too heavy to lift in alone. I used ratchet straps to winch it up some boards into the bed. I had no time, (clock ticking on a rental,) to build anything as complicated as your set up, I can't appreciate the time you invested. You own your power washer, so having building a system makes sense.
I underestimated how difficult it would be to unload/load a Core Aerator onto a rented pickup truck. The ramps included in the truck were very very steep. Like you I had no time to slap together something. I have pulleys but in the past any pulley system I created was foiled by pulley friction. So, didn't go that route. Luckily my son was around. I love this winch idea.
Of all the homemade diy truck loading ramps that I’ve seen, I like your video the most. Well done sir!
Excellent use of the laws of physics. Well done, Sir.
Nice going! Instead of quitting when you found an impass, you made a way around it. If only more Americans were like you, we would barely have a need for the Disability system.
Great idea. I had to buy a small 440B bobcat for my heavy lifting. retirement means there is more work to do and no slowing down. I am looking for ideas on how to recover it if it breaks down.. and a sled seem to be the route to use. Thanks for sharing.
You the man! Good inexpensive idea. A suggestion for heavier loads, you could use 2 fixed casters and 2 swivel casters on the sled eliminating the friction drag on the 2x3's. Then if your load has no wheels, say an engine block, you could wheel it into the truck box and tie down. It would require a 3/4" plywood base and the 2x3's would keep the sled in place.
This is awesome. I have a 120lb paint sprayer that I can't lift high enough due to me being short. I do have loading ramps, but it's really sketchy trying to walk the sprayer up.... I'll definitely try something like this out.
Harbor Freight offers a lift attachment that mounts on the truck bed. A hoist with a half ton capacity. It conveniently tucks between the wheel well & tailgate when not in use. $120
Great idea. I have a small, but heavy generator to move. This is perfect.
Great idea. I could have used this when I was moving my 300 lb TV!
Thanks that a great idea!! I'm going to build one for a couple of different items, but might I suggest putting adjustable stops on the sled top to prevent wheeled items from suddenly shifting. Maybe even a few eye bolts for securing. I've got a pair of worthless metal ramps that I'm going to use as a base. Gotta love YT for spurring the imagination...
Great design. I'll use some of these tips to move this monster woodstove up the mountain to the cabin. - Hopefully.
Thanks and good thinkin!

I've got a similar winch setup to get my tractor in and out of my truck - but the winch I have (its a cheap Harbor Freight one) has a removable handle. I can use a socket wrench adapter/socket in my cordless drill to wind/unwind the winch. The winch has low enough gearing that it isn't a problem, and I can wind/unwind the winch much faster without having to hand-crank it like a maniac.
I like your pavers. Nice job. Work smarter not harder.
Well done sir and thank you for sharing!
Thanks a bunch. Such a genius idea.
This is actually a great idea!
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Well done. Great, simple design.
I like it. Now I know how to get my mother-in-law up into the pickup truck
I like The way you did that and had one hand ont\ the washer and the other on the crank. You helped me a great deal but mine has to be more stout as I am hauling an 8 hp rototiller. Imagine that without your simple system. Good going
Good question.
If I rolled it up a ramp, it would need to support me and the 175 lb PW for a 375 lb total load.
The plywood is 3/8" and it would not support me and the load .
A lightweight ramp/sled is very inexpensive to build.
The PW has wheels only in front and I would need to lift it to roll it.
Ii can load lift any shape strapped to the sled, (even a rock), and easily slide the sled into the truck.
Imagine the danger of lowering a heavy spherical object without a winch.
terrific!! Simple yet VERY good build...I like it :)
when the neighbors saw my contraption using an extension ladder and a sled similar to yours to winch shingle bundles to the roof, there was much talk.
awesome solution
Great Job. Thumbs up.
Good job, thanks for sharing!
Good job!
Good job! Keep on moving.
Great idea!
I realize this is an older video but I just came across it. I'm wondering how much your pressure washer weighs? How much do you think your system can handle? I'm thinking of using this idea to load my snowblower. Thanks
300 lb washer using 2x3's. Much more with 2x4's.
@@Boyntonstu Thanks for the info and quick reply.
Brilliant!
Thanks, please share your system when it is complete.
Why the sled? Why not, with a wide enough ramp, just pull the pressure washer itself up the ramp with your pulley? Since the pressure washer is already on wheels, it would travel up a ramp far easier than a sled.
Dwight Stewart - He probably used what he had available and the 2x3's were the strongest thing to hold the load. The sled spreads the weight across a larger area reducing the structural strain. Yes it large contact surface area increases friction, but he used wax to address that issue. That plywood is only holding the 2X3's in place it's too thin to take the weight directly. The sled stays on track so there is no risk of it binding against the 2X3's or coming off the ramp. Rolling on the wheels you not only have to winch you also have to steer, that isn't easier and there's risk. The sled makes sense.
nicely done. just curious, did you consider a mono-rail between the tires and simply using the low friction of the wheels and a simpler design?
+romansten9 Try pushing a car up a slight incline.
Thanks I like this idea
Thanks for your video!
great work , thanks
This guy still alive?
Thanks for the great idea! :)
Nice one!
why not just use ramps and roll it up in the truck?
God Bless
wax your boards for lube

Great idea to share for those who have the Need for help for whatever reasoning ,without judgement from western Christians minded ,although there are two denominations who Do Not teach it that way...Lutheran and Moravian,
Could've been faster with a dolly and a ramp...
+feedy lopez Try it and upload a video.

😂😂😂 Yes. Please feel free to upload a video. Especially at that angle
don't wear mandals when working with heavy objects, hippy.
