I saw the crane bend, the truck chassis bottom out, and waited for that one eye bolt to lose it but it never did. Marvelous eye bolt. Great crane idea.
Thanks for demonstrating an actual load! Some of these guys build a pickup/trailer crane and then lift a 100lb log.

Been racking my brains out how to setup a crane in my Toyota! Awesome idea going off towbar. I have to get a setup not to hurt myself any further! Top job !😊
After perusing the comments, it is clear that most of the comments are negative. I sure do not see anyone stepping up and doing a better job. The man was kind enough to show you all his idea. Next time step up to plate or keep quiet. Thanks Bill for the getting the juices going inside the noggin!
That crane mount is awesome!
Nice build - thanks for sharing. Cheers, Patrick
Dude, that thing is ready to snap!!!
nice, I like that you did not have to drill the bed of the truck as other cranes require.
Amazing how many guys can sit in their mama's basement eating a ham sandwich and criticizing everything anyone ACTUALLY working does!! That system looks great, works great and thank you for showing it to those of us who know what it takes to DO something!!!! I have something similar for loading large rocks, but it uses an electric winch. Thanks!!

Very well presented. Bravo. No dialogue needed. Good balance on the triangles. Maybe(?) consider a truss or gusset on that upright, only to slow it's eventual warp. But it all seems well within limits for that 400 lb log.
Hell of a work out Don't let the small chain get jammed lol lol .. Great idea
Mechanical advantages are awesome! That's an awesome crane.

I like the crane placement. A support leg would probably be good though
That's a great idea. I'm thinking about making a slight variation on this for my crane. Me and my trusty everlast on the fabrication trail again.
seen one similar and it had a foot on the bottom to transfer the weight on the ground and not on the frame. Very nice though,
Cool. You maxed it out. I'm impressed..
yah and probably also torqued the frame of the truck in the process

I was thinking so hard about it and couldn't find any good videos you rock man.
Looks like Mike Rowe ;-) Nice crane.
I thought so too for a second.
this is nice work nice truck crane you built now you just need a 3quater ton truck since this one get very low when you lift that 300 pound log
Im planning on making one to. Thank you for showing this goes to show you don't need electricity or gas for everything

I think this crane is one of the definitely necessary tools if you live outside cities. You can move many things: fuel barrel, engine, appliances etc. with no worry any one. Sorry for my english

Bill, could you take some video of the mounts on your truck. This is great! I want to weld a harbor freight crane on to something like your truck mount. Very nice!
Outstanding !! It's very simple, looks clean and is apparently strong. I don't know what the cost might end up being but if they are reasonably priced you have a great product here. Good luck.............
Good men! Amazing Work!!
That is awesome! I'd love for you to make one for me! it is exactly the setup I want.. nice job!

Heck yes. What a great way to do it
That steel looked like it was at the top end of it's tensile limits there. Good idea, works well, but I probably wouldn't try lifting anything heavier
It will pop someday, 🤔
Nice job there!!

Nice rig! What about a vertical support from the ground to the bottom of the vertical member, even if it's a floor jack or a stand, I think it'd greatly increase the stability. I've been wanting to build one of these for so long...one day soon I hope! Nice work man!

I would add a rear out rigger of some sort to stop the twist on the lower part of the lift.
Nice job Bill.......................

Sketchy, very sketchy, but awesome idea! I would just build out of 3” at least, that looks like 2” had a lot of flex, either way great build! Thank you for sharing
Hell yeah best video I seen. 100%!
I like that you use the Chevy for your video

yeah that mast could use a bit of vertical reinforcing...or just don't pick so heavy logs :D
Some type of a bearing application at the pivot point. Steel on steel equals too much friction
Thanks for this educational video,
This is awesome! I am so making myself one of those! I have a smaller, Toyata Hilux
How did it go Ahmed ....did you make one yet.....

@@davidlawrence8085 Nope! Business went bottom up and my truck was a casualty. I might be buying another truck next year though, so lets see
The amount of deflection in the boom is a little worrying. But, it did the lift. But, I wouldn't trust it to do that kind of lift over and over again. Like said before. Some reinforcement would be a good idea. I am certified rigging, mobile, and overhead crane operator. Metal fatigue would be my main concern. Cool idea though, I am definitely stealing some of the design ideas. I like the double receiver idea a lot. Going to be using mine on lifting heavy vehicle parts on and off of my flatbed F250. Engines, etc. Don't want it to be a permanent attachment to my truck, so this works really well.
I really like the idea as well. I would change the execution a bit. I would really like to weld up something like this with my everlast this summer.

Best simple crane hitch attachment by far , I loke the second hitch assembly nice , mind if I ask for some materials plans
Love the awesome idea mount, and all. Was wondering could this setup be left on while driving down the road? I have a ladder rack to keep the top secured. Just wondering cause my back isn't the best these days. Thanks for the video.

That’s impressive.
at the end, were u rushing for water ? :)
Need a foot to extend to the ground to keep the load from dropping the back end of the truck. I'm thinking about making something similar with my everlast welder a bit of steel I've got in back.
The crane is good, when you lift up with hook to chain the use of a choker chain will help keep the hook from sliding on the chain, parts needed two nut and bolt and a short chain.great job on the crane, thanks
nice well done
This is a great idea.

Very nice. Maybe add an adjustable leg under the crane for support of heavy lifts.

While not shown (since I thought this log was light!), the truck crane also has an outrigger/stabilizer that can quickly be installed as shown at: suncatcherstudio.com/truck-crane/
Nice vid man, crane is cool!
That’s how you get some god damn work done! Shit I’m puttin one on my fuckin truck right now!
very good the invention ,, I would put reinforcement in the upper corner, and I would put a small extension in the upper tip,
Nice I'd just put support under lift ! A stand to keep it sturdy .
Got yourself a low rider! ;)

haha your vehicle looks stanced under all that load lol
Nice!
need abit of grease in that turning part but awesome work
That's a LOT of moment (or torque) on that hitch connection. Might slowly warp and fatigue the metal there. Great homemade crane though!

I think steel is saying "lubricate me" with grease....the chirping is metal galling itself. I'd probably try a ramp and winch arrangement assuming tailgate isn't destroyed.
A ground support is needed for stability bro. Too much deflection and car suspension is unstable. Good job.

Nice idea . Looks great I would reinforce it some more if possible.Great job though.' Im curious how you got such an exact weight for the log?
probably a weigh station or a scale at a scrap yard
smart idea
I like the design but it needs heavier steal and a trailer jack at the bottom so it won't go down
Nice done
Hey that’s great thanks for the help. Very much sarcasm People make videos to show others how to do it some people show videos just to make themselves feel good.
I noticed that the crane doesn't interfere with the ground either.
Hey man, awsome job. Does the bottom bit need bearings or grease or anything or does it spin just fine?

Room for lots of improvements.
That set up is nice, but I would worry about it coming down on my head.
Needs a stabilizer leg under the mast's base down to the ground...obvious if it hasn't been commented already.
Make one of these to attach to my power wheelchair, so I can go anywhere and transfer to a toilet seat, bed, couch etc.

Notice the Chevy squat and the running boards almost on the ground
This makes me happy as fuck. Made one out of street sign posts when I was 20.
Good idea, but how bout modifying and engine crane (hydraulic pump), instead of
That would work but a chain hoist is much faster. How about having both for more flexibility, however that would make the hoist heavy or more hassle to assemble for each use.

Great for dressing your deer harvest too
Did that log fall out from the sky?
If I make this out of a 3x2x1/4 inch rectangle tube would it be strong enough for 2000 pounds? I would also have a leg to support it.

The crane bring the truck to the log😂
Hi Bill, what melody did you selected for this video?

ya, great build, but the far end needs a scissor jack or something as such, you went down 6 + inches before you went up

nice
I think I would add a leg that goes to the ground under the column
I think I could have muscled it in and been on my way by the time he set that crane up.
much too slow using a chain block when you can buy a ATV winch and fit it for peanuts .. Called working smarter not harder !!!! But I really appreciate the design of the crane ! Bravo !
What is the diameter of the two bottom round pipes and what is the thickness of the all tubes inserts inside round pipes?
Good idea , needs some improvements. Looks like it may not hold up to many of those heavy lifts though. Just being honest, the mast is too weak.
O my God ! any one thinking the same thin I am thinking!!! SNAP!!
cool
Good idea but the whole thing needs refinement. Flexing once or twice is OK but fatigue will eventually set in...

attach an electrical winch . we're getting to old for the labor
I like to work smart not hard
That would be Muscles Son. Coz my shellfish are strong!
Block & tackle's a bit slow...should attach an electrical winch to crane...not big price difference
