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.

Great tool to help lift my 5th wheel hitch out of my truck.
Comments
A year later and I cannot say enough positive things about this lifting bracket. Used frequently and no signs of wear. Still highly recommend this product.
Howard - 12/20/2022by: Todd08/03/2021
Worked perfectly in my companion 5th wheel hitch.
Comments
Still working great. Strong and sturdy hoist. Can always count on it.
Todd - 08/04/2022by: James 11/05/2022
Works great. This and a portable engine hoist from Harbor Freight allows me to remove a heavy 5th wheel slider hitch from my truck alone !
by: Dan 11/03/2022
Only using this twice a year it’s hard to judge long term but it’s solid,it’s simple and it works fine.Just the ticket to easily remove fifth wheel from truck bed.
by: Dennis04/27/2022
Great bracket for lifting my SuperGlide hitch
by: James10/26/2022
This part does the job of lifting the 5th wheel hitch off the truck bed. It is a little loose working the jaws are closed, but when loaded it is tight. It is a good tool.
by: Jerry 11/13/2021
Did the job put my fifth wheel 18k together on my garage floor no way you could pick it up hooked to my tractor bucket set it right in the pickup will send pic next time I get ready to hook up
Comments
Great makes it so simple to install my demco auto slide and remove it from the truck
Jerry - 11/14/2022by: Marc M11/24/2020
The bracket works perfectly! I use it to lift the hitch out of my truck bed.
Comments
Still going strong! Makes lifting the Pullrite in and out of my truckbed much easier! Have always had success using strainer and their products!
Marc M - 11/25/2021by: Kurt V05/23/2020
didn't know if this bracket would fit in a curt a16 5th wheel hitch. Worked fine. Lifting approx 290 lbs. Hitch and adapter.Quite satisfied with dm6100 lift bracket
Comments
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.
Kurt V - 05/24/2021by: Marvin01/17/2020
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.
Comments
Excellent tool for lifting the hitch.
Marvin G - 01/18/2021by: Reginald 02/11/2021
This bracket was perfect for lifting my 5th wheel hitch into and out of my truck with a cherry picker. I built a dolly with wheels to easily move my hitch around by myself.
Comments
Great - still using it every time I take the ditch out of my truck.
Reginald - 02/12/2022by: Soler07/23/2022
It's OK. It due what I need it to do. The center is larger diameter than the pin in my fifth wheel so getting it in the hitch is cumbersome. Also the top got bent on first use. Still usable tho.
by: Scott04/13/2022
This bracket works great! My Demco Autoslide is extremely heavy, I could not imagine lifting the hitch from my truck bed without this bracket.
by: TJAY02/26/2017
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!
by: Michael06/06/2018
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.
by: John11/06/2019
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!
by: Blair05/04/2019
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.
by: Richard03/23/2020
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.
by: Dennis 07/09/2022
This makes it very easy to take my fifth wheel hitch in and out of my truck with my tractor bucket when you are by yourself.
by: Wayne 08/26/2022
Perfect fit and makes moving my slide fift wheel hitch so much easier!
by: Michael01/31/2020
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
by: John05/09/2022
Great welds, structurally sound. This will work well with my ceiling winch to lift Demco 5th Wheel hitch out of my pickup.
by: Mike C12/13/2021
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.
by: Joseph01/31/2022
Absolutely love it. I bought a hoist on [another website] and mounted it to the trusses in garage. Fifth wheel hitch comes in and out in minutes without any heavy lifting.
by: CJS04/02/2022
Works as advertised. Much better the rigging I was using. I highly recommend this gizmo for anyone who routinely R&R's their hitch.

- Who Makes the 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100We 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!
view full answer... - Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket To Install Or Remove 5th Wheel HitchesThe 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 in a safe way to protect you, the hitch, and your truck.
view full answer... - 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. It will work perfectly with your Reese 5th wheel hitch. If you click the provided link, you can see a video of the lifting bracket being demonstrated.
view full answer... - Can I Use Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket With PullRite SuperGlideThe 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.

- Can Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Item # DM6100 be Used with Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel HitchYes the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Item # DM6100 can be used in a Pullrite Superglide fifth wheel hitch like what you mentioned.
view full answer... - Weight of Demco Hijacker 18K and Can Demco Lifting Pin Support ItThe overall weight of the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 18k # DM8550034 is 273 lbs. Since the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 has a capacity of 500 lbs it would easily be able to lift the hitch. I attached a review video for the hitch and the lifting pin for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommendation on How To Easily Lift Demco Autoslider Into Bed of TruckThis 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. This allows you to easily load and unload a heavy hitch like the Demco Autoslider # DM8550034 into or out of the bed.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Removing Demco 18K Hijacker Auto Slide from Truck BedI 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. The safest way would be with two people, or you could use a crane. The Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 will assist with that. I recommend you get a friend or two to help...
view full answer... - Auto Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail KitI have a perfect solution for you. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitch part # DM8550038 is an auto-sliding fifth wheel hitch with a 21k capacity that fits directly to the factory Ford fifth wheel rail kit you have in your 2012 Ford F-350. I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Lifting A Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch Out Of A 2017 For F-250 Super DutyI highly recommend not doing this because that is way too much to put on the kingpin and you risk damaging it and the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 18,000lbs Item # DM8550034. Instead you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket Item # DM6100 with an engine hoist/lift and even then I would not leave it in there for long.

I confirmed all of this with my contact at Demco. If you are intimidated by the weight of the Hijacker we have the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 which can be used to lift the 5th wheel hitch out of your truck bed.

- How to Manually Close Jaws for Demco Autosliding 5th Wheel HitchThe jaws on your Demco Autosliding 5th Wheel Hitch like part # DM8550034 should basically just snap back in place when you couple your trailer. 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. If you check out the attached review video at about the 5:30 minute mark you can see this being done with a similar product. If you check out the cut out from...

- 5th Wheel King Pin Lifting Bracket for Demco Hijacker AutoslideThe Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 21,000 lbs # DM8550035 weighs 300 lbs. 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.

You can see from the video that I have linked below even our installer has a hard time getting the jaws open enough to insert the bracket. He does reach over and is able to get the jaws to open wider by pushing out on the handle. This may be easier with a second set of hands depending on your situation.

These three pieces are the head which weighs around 60 lbs, the side brackets which weigh around 60 lbs as well, and the base which weighs around 180 lbs.

The Autoslide is a bit less expensive, especially when you consider it doesn't need a capture plate that isn't included with the Pullrite. The Hijacker Autoslide also features 3 height adjustments, while the Pullride isn't height adjustable. To install the Hijacker Autoslide in your Ram, you'd also need the # DM6099 rail adapter. The adapter will sit down into the pucks, and the hitch...
view full answer... - Is the Demco 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 Compatible With a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel HitchYes, 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Lifting Bracket And Crane For Removing 5th Wheel HitchI reached out to PullRite and they said you can definitely 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.
