Video Transcript for Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Review

Speaker 1: Today we'll be having a look at the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket. Part Number DM6100. Many of our customers here at etrailer have come to us and have expressed that they've had experienced difficulty in the past when it comes time to remove the 5th wheel assembly from the bed of their truck when they want to have full access to it when they're not towing their trailer. Many have also said that it takes two to three people sometimes to remove a 5th wheel assembly, especially when they have a slider, such as this one, because the slider assembly adds a lot of weight. When you want to make it a one man operation, that's where this Demco Lifting Bracket comes into place.As you will notice it looks like a kingpin. That serves a purpose of sliding into the jaws of our 5th wheel giving us a solid attachment point.

To utilize it we'll simply open our jaws of our 5th wheel. With the jaws open we can insert our lifting device. Making sure we watch our fingers. Enclose the jaws around it. With our lifting adapter now in place we now have an eyelet here to attach a cable or chain to a engine hoist, a standard hoist on a ceiling, a crane, a wench, something of that nature.

Any lifting device that you have where you can attach a cable to properly. We can use that to lift this out of the bed of our truck.Now this lifting device is made of a sturdy steel construction and has a lifting capacity of 500 lbs., which is minimally sufficient to handle most every 5th wheel regardless if you had a slider or not. For a few dimensions for you, you're looking at 5-3/4" tall, from the very base of it to the very top of it. Diameter here is 2", just like your standard kingpin. The base is 3" wide.

The eyelet opening has a diameter of 1-1/8". That completes our look at the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket. Part Number DM6100.

Welded extremely strong and also powder coated. It would take forever to make one of the same quality. A little bit on the pricey side but worth it. I can easily lift my fifth wheel hitch in/out of the truck by myself with a winch.

Follow up on demco 6100 lift bracket. Has been a little over a year and bracket working out great. 2017 ram 3500 truck,curt a16 fifth wheel hitch,pullrite bed adapter all inclusive abt 300lbs. I am 66 years old and cant lift what I used to be able to. Sure I can remove in pieces and do it without lift and bracket but is a lot of weight for me.Bracket and lift make it possible to remove in 1 piece with way less wear and tear on me.BIg plus is I can do it by myself.I lift to bed of truck on to 2x4s then remove bracket from hitch from there can push into position and in puck system.bracket works great.

A little pricey but comes in handy when needing to raise or lower the heavy (280lb for Demco 18k Autoslide) Demco 5th wheel hitch with a chain hoist. Suspending the 5th wheel hitch above truck bed to adjust to one of 3 installation heights when initially installing the bracket bolts is a great advantage, too.

does what its supposed to but I now lift my hitch out with an overhead electric hoist and straps. This allows me to lift the hitch out evenly. The lifting bracket along lifts the demco hijacker out nose high due to the weight being off balance.

This device continues to work exactly as it was designed to. It makes lifting our 5th wheel hitch out of the bed of the pick-up easy, safe and secure. You never have to worry about any the previous 'four strap method' components breaking. Well designed. Thank you.

The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket - DM6100 works great with my over head winch for lifting my Demco 5th wheel hitch from the bed of my truck. Just clip into 5th wheel, make sure 5th wheel is latched. Then raise winch and drive out from under hitch. I then lower onto a cart to move. one person job now! No strained mussels any more!

I was pleased to find this helpful tool. When lifting my fifth-wheel hitch out of my truck bed I used a rope that I tied around the hitch in order to lift it with my engine-block crane. It wasn't very satisfactory because the hitch lifted out at a bad angle due to the locations I chose in order to run the rope around the hitch, and my knots could have slipped. There had to be a better way. There were no suspension connection points installed on the B&W Companion Hitch, to assist me, so I sought another solution. This fitting does the job perfectly.

Works great. Lock in, hook up, pick up, Done. My Demco 21K Autoslide hitch is about 300Lbs of pure greatness but tough to manhandle by myself. This makes it easy, along with my chain hoist of course.

Great product, great service from etrailer! Excellent solution for effortlessly lifting our fifth wheel hitch from the bed of the truck. I installed a hoist on the garage ceiling to do the lifting and rather than struggle with straps around the hitch to hook to the hoist, this bracket easily slides into the hitch and provides a no brainer way to raise it up. What ever method you use to lift your hitch (cherry picker, engine hoist, winch, ceiling hoist, pallet forks on a tractor, etc) this bracket simplifies the process. No chains, straps or ropes. Slide it in place, hook it up, and go. AND, the item arrived 2 days earlier than originally projected!

I have a Demco Autoslider for my 40' fifth wheel and F-350 6 3/4' box. It is a great hitch, but weighs a lot and installing and removing the hitch is not easy given the weight. I had previously used straps, however getting the hitch centered on my chain hoist took some work. The Demco lifting bracket makes that task much easier.

We purchased the hydraulic pickup truck crane to get our 5th wheel hitch in and out of our truck bed. The arm on lift was not long enough to get the hitch in the proper distance, so my husband and son have modified with an extension. My husband and I are in our sixties and cannot lift the hitch up any more. This product saves from back and leg injuries.

Great tool for removing the Curt 20k 5th wheel hitch. I bought a hoist from Harbor Freight and installed it in my garage. I also made a coaster for the hitch so that I can wheel it around. Now all I do is insert the 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket into the mouth of the hitch, close it and I'm done. No more strain but a lot of gain. A little expensive but worth it and they need to add this product to "5th wheel hitch accessories" to make it easier to find

More expensive than other options I viewed on line, but it was a better fit for my application. Works perfectly and doesn't take up as much room as others when not installed.

Still 5-star review after a year of use. Makes pulling my hitch a snap. Very well made. If it was LSU purple and gold instead of Alabama red you would get a 6-star review.

I use this in conjunction with my portable engine lift to get the 150 hitch out in one piece. Awesome piece of gear. I bet coupled with a tailgate lift this would also work well.

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
  • Can Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Item # DM6100 be Used with Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Item # DM6100 can be used in a Pullrite Superglide fifth wheel hitch like what you mentioned.

  • Can I Use Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket With PullRite SuperGlide
    The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket part # DM6100 will work well with your PullRite SuperGlide. The capture plate is on the actual pin box of the trailer so it would not affect the use of the Demco lifting bracket. You would just open the jaw of the SuperGlide with the handle and put the lifting bracket in the jaws. Then you can lift the fifth wheel hitch from the truck with a cable. To make it easier I recommend to use the bracket with a MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane for 2" Hitches...

  • Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket To Install Or Remove 5th Wheel Hitches
    The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 is a product that Demco makes based on a suggestion we made to them. It allows you to lift their heavier fifth wheel hitches weighing around 300 lbs using a hoist or crane like the MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane for 2" Hitches - 1,000 lbs # MT70238 in a safe way to protect you, the hitch, and your truck.

  • Is Demco DM6100 5th Wheel Hitch Lifting Bracket Compatible with Reese 5th Wheel Hitches.
    The Demco # DM6100 5th Wheel Lift Bracket you looked at is compatible with any fifth wheel hitch that will accept a standard sized king pin. The lifting bracket isn't hitch specific.

If you're trying to figure out how to close the jaws once you uncouple your trailer then you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 to do so but it does take some pressure.

    On your Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide # DM6076P-UL-16K, you will simple pull the handle out to the open position as you mentioned and pull forward to disconnect. The jaws will not automatically close, they will remain open for you to reconnect unless you manually close them. You can do this carefully with your hand although I don't recommend that for safety, or you can use a tool to put force on the spring loaded jaws.

  • Can Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 Lift a 5th Wheel Hitch Head and Base or Just the Head
    Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 can lift the hitch and its base provided that both combined are under the 500 pound capacity of the bracket. We also have some devices that can do the heavy lifting such as hoist # BTEHOISTUL. With the hoist you would be limited to 440 pounds.

  • Is the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 Compatible With a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes, the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 acts as a king pin on a pin box so it will fit any standard 5th wheel hitch, like the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255. If you do not already have a lifting system to use with the lifting bracket, a great option is the MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane for 2" Hitches # MT70238 which installs in a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and has a 1,000 lb weight capacity.

  • Who Makes the 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100
    We actually don't manufacture any of the products on our site. The 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 that you referenced is made by Demco and we started carrying it a few years ago. The lifting bracket has a weight capacity of 500 lbs so you shouldn't have trouble lifting any 5th wheel hitch, plus it is made right here in the USA!

  • Will MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane Work to Lift 5th Wheel Hitch Out of 2018 Ram 3500
    The MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane # MT70238 along with the Demco Bracket # DM6100 is a great option for lifting a 5th wheel hitch out of the bed of your 2018 Ram 3500 and it will work really well. Just keep in mind that the crane likely won't reach all the way to where the hitch is mounted to the rails so you will still need to manually move the hitch a bit in the bed to where the crane can grab it. I have attached a couple video demonstrations that you can check out as well.

It will fit your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system but does require the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099.

The parts don't really come apart easily to remove the hitch, so that is not recommended as it is just the side rails that are separate and would save 32 lbs. I recommend using a hoist and the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100. This is rated for up to 500 lbs.

The head on this will clamp onto the king pin, for the lack of a better way to put it, and it will keep it from rotating, but will then allow the actual head to rotate and slide back when making a sharp turn. This does have to be quite the angle and it will not happen...

  • Recommendation on How To Easily Lift Demco Autoslider Into Bed of Truck
    This is a great question. We actually addressed this with Demco and we came up with a solution. They started making the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 which can be used with an engine hoist, or winch, but we have also found a more mobile option in the MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane for 2" Hitches - 1,000 lbs # MT70238. This allows you to easily load and unload a heavy hitch like the Demco Autoslider # DM8550034 into or out of the bed. The crane arm is not long enough...

  • Will the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device Work With Other Hitch Brands
    If you are looking for a universal lifting device for a fifth wheel hitch I recommend the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket part # DM6100 because it mimics the shape of a standard kin pin. The B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device part # BWRVXA3130 is more or less designed for an exact jaw shape/thickness so it won't work well for other fifth wheel hitches.

  • Compatibility of MaxxTow Hydraulic Lift Crane # 70238 for 5th Wheel Hitch Installation/Removal
    The MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane # MT70238 can absolutely work with your 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed for your 20K Reese Hitch. You will need to adjust the 43 inch boom to ensure you get the correct location, which may require lifting and then repositioning in bed and then a second position to assist in removal from the bed. I recommend using the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 to assist with moving your hitch in and out of your truck bed and into position.

  • Recommendation for Removing Demco 18K Hijacker Auto Slide from Truck Bed
    I reached out to my contact at Demco, and they said the 18K Hijacker autoslide # DM8550034 weighs enough that the slider portion could engage in that operation. They do not recommend putting that weight on the hitch and kingpin/pin box. Your best option is to manually move your hitch to the rear of your truck where the MaxxTow Crane # MT70238 can assist you in lower it safely. The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 will assist with that. I recommend you get a friend or two to...

  • Recommended Lifting Bracket And Crane For Removing 5th Wheel Hitch
    I reached out to PullRite and they said you can definitley use the trailer to remove the hitch from your truck, but you don't want to leave it hanging there. They suggest lowering onto saw horses or another sturdy surface. That is a lot of weight to leave on your pin box and king pin as well as the jaws of your hitch. I know that there are people that will use the MaxxTow Hydraulic Pickup Truck Crane for 2" Hitches - 1,000 lbs # MT70238 along with the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket...

  • Recommended Options For Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer With Truck That Has 6-1/2 Ft Bed
    It is really hard towing a trailer with a gooseneck adapter behind a truck that has a 6-1/2 ft bed. Turning clearance will be a problem and a goose box like part # RP94716 will not give you additional horizontal clearance. In my opinion I recommend installing a fifth wheel slider in your truck. This would give you the clearance and turning capability you will need with a 6-1/2 ft bed. If you want to let me know the year make and model of the truck I will be glad to make some recommendations...
