Specs:
The Rack Jack II hoist makes it easy to load your deer or other heavy gear into your truck bed. This hitch-mounted hoist features a galvanized steel winch and heavy-duty aluminum pulleys for securely hoisting and holding hefty loads. The vertical round pole on the hitch adapter allows the mast to swivel 360 degrees so that you can turn the hoist to lower your game or gear into your truck bed.
Setup is quick and easy with just 3 pieces that lock together. Insert the hitch adapter into your 2" trailer hitch receiver. Attach the bottom portion of the upright mast to the hitch adapter, and then connect the top portion to the bottom. The top part of the mast should already have the winch attached. When you're finished, simply break down the 3 pieces for storage.

Hoist mounts in your hitch so that you can lift and load heavy cargo into your truck bed. Winch and pulley system securely lifts and holds up to 300 lbs. Swivels 360 degrees so that you can easily swing your game or gear into your truck bed.Just assembled it and loaded a 110 lb generator for those dry camping days. It will also come in handy to lift the larger propane tanks to get refilled and set back on the tongue rack. That's 70 lbs my old back will not visit! This hoist is quite tall so I shortened it by 13" as I do not need to load a deer over the tailgate. Now it is easier to attach the upper boom section (heaviest). Be careful when lowering any load as the winch handle wants to go ballistic. It is fairly well made and so simple that not much can go wrong.
Rodger M - 04/13/2020The unit looks well built. It did come with parts that didn’t match what was in the directions. I haven’t tried it for what i purchased it for, lifting my 5th wheel hitch into my truck. It weighs 150 lbs and is difficult for my wife and I to get it into the truck. This will be a back saver.
This hoist has been a great addition for my husband and me. We are older and can use extra help. We heat with wood in an outdoor stove. The winch piicks up heavy pieces of wood we swing over and start in the stove door, We altered it so it is not so tall, put it on our ATV, and use it in timber to help pick up and load wood. We have been very happy with this Hoist.
My 5th wheel hitch uses of 2/3 of my short bed and in the camping off season it makes sense to take it out after we winterize and store the rig, and then put it back in after we dewinterize it in the spring. But it weighs over 150 pounds and my back has already seen it's best days. I needed some help and I got it with the Rack Jack II. I was able to get the hitch out of my truck and into my garage with no lifting at all and minimal cranking effort. It's not perfect but for the price it's a winner. The system does have two weak spots: The pivot point will quick grind away the paint under load where the two metal painted surfaces meet. I will fix this by cutting a plastic washer to fit out of some plastic scrap, but it should have been included. The other is the winch, because the windings don't tension neatly, so if they shift under load your suspended object may suddenly drop a short distance, which will but additional stress on everything and may cause shifting. It may also not free spool easily. Overall though, I'm glad I bought it.
A good product but unable to get a clear answer from the manufacturer. Due to an injury, I needed a way to easily load my portable generator and materials into my truck bed. This lift appears to be a perfect fit - assembly was easy and no issues attaching to my truck. However, included with the packaging was a seperate instruction sheet for the gear winch which warns "For pulling only, not for lifting". Both etrailer and I were confused by this and the manufacturer wouldn't give me a straight answer. They told me that "it would be fine, for up to 600 pounds", even though the instructions state "do not exceed 300 pounds"? I'll stay below 200 pounds, just to be safe.
Sierra K - 11/03/2021I received this product via UPS on Sept 14, 2021. The packaging had a couple of minor holes/tears but not enough to affect the contents. I inventoried the contents and noticed some differences between the hardware called out in the instructions and what was actually included. 1. The nuts and bolts attaching the winch to the upper boom assembly are 13mm not 8mm. 2. The clevis bolts and cotter pins are 12mm nuts and bolts. The threaded portion of the bolt will start cutting into the aluminum pully under any load. 3. The coupling locking nuts and bolts are 17mm. The instructions do not call out all the tools required, it only calls for a 13mm wrench. Other folks have warned about holding on to the winch when lowering a load. I found that the release lever needs extra effort to engage the ratchet function. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the product. I’ll be shopping around to find a plastic or Teflon ring/washer to place around the mast pivot tube to eliminate the excessive play between it and the mast. I’ll also probably replace the cable with some poly line.
Well made. Read the warning about pinch areas when installing. Don't ask. I made a washer out of star board to cushion the piece that swivels. Metal on metal is never good. Lifts my generator into the truck bed when I pull my 5th wheel. Saves my old back. Hopefully I will get another Elk draw next year so the hoist will be great.
It looks ok , haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet . I hope it does the job .
Worked well on recent pronghorn hunt. Quick and easy set-up. Easy to lift animals up and down and rotate it around. Great to have the tailgate down to set knives, saws and quarters on.
Works great for storing my hitch and bike racks!
Exactly what I wanted for moving our generator from ground to the back of my pickup. Good quality and functional.
Received rack jack and took little time to hook it up on my truck. Works great for lifting my generator.
Bought this to load e-bikes into my SUV. Going to have to make some mods but it will work. But first had to get a wine barrel off the roof rack. Made easy work of this. Great buy.
We bought this lift to get our 204 lb Generator on and off our pickup, as we are full time RV'ers we use the lift often when dry camping. When we use it we always comment how lucky we are to have found this lift. It lifts easy and comes apart in 3 pieces, easy to store and easy to set up. Thanks
This hoist is a beast, I could barely pick the package up. All parts were there and put it together in 30 minutes. I bought it to hoist the Jazzy go round into the bed of my truck which I bought for my wife. The picture says it all, up and in with very little effort.
The hoist works and fits perfectly,high Quality. Also received 3 day earlier than promised.Have been very satisfied with etrailers service and products. Thanks keep up the good work. A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER
Needed a hoist to load generator and other awkword items. This hoist is just the size and value for my needs. Super fast two day free delivery was excellent too. It went together fast, and works flawlessly! Five stars all the way! Bob E.
Superb construction, well built, heavy duty, winch itself is rated at 600 lbs vice 300 lbs but whole device rated at 300 lbs due to construction conservative ratings. No doubt can lift more than the 300 lbs rated for but stay safe and keep it at 300 lbs. Outstanding value, great buy, purchased ground stand separately so don't have to use vehicle hitch device. Highly recommend to any serious Deer Hunter!
Ron - 03/09/2019Second attempt at getting product first was damaged by ups and sent back by ups and now I have to send this one back after waiting over a month for it to be in stock
Sierra K - 12/17/2021Great purchase! Good quality product. Strong, easy to assemble and use. I have recommended to family and stand by my suggestion. I use it to load a 3500 watt Generator into my truck. Sure saves my back! Glad I found it when I did.
The product is nice but it could use a stabilizer to keep it from leaning when picking up an item with a little weight.
I have only used it once this past year because of pandemic but the 1 time I used it worked great.
There were no assembly or operating instructions included. I had to go to the manufacturer's website to download both. Otherwise everything works as designed.
Sierra K - 07/22/2021Fast shipping, very easy to assemble, worked GREAT! Very happy with price,cheaper then going to a back DR.
The thing looks like it will work great. I have assembled it but I have not put anything heavy on it yet. The unit I got looked like it had been returned. It was scratched up a little bit and the box was pretty mangled. No big deal for something like this. My only complaint is that the hardware pack was different than the instructions called for. Instead of two pins to hold the wheels I got two nuts and bolts that were too short. I already obtained longer bolts but I think that pins might be the way to go.
