Still looking for just the right hoist mechanism.
This one might do the job depending on where the crank handle enters the mechanism. I'll PM Bolter "Pipewizard" and see if he has more info.
I have a "perch" designed to weld to the forward most point on my trailer hitch receiver. The fore/aft measurement will be easy to adjust a few inches as would about 6 " of left and right. The best hoist would be arranged like Pipewizard's where the mount part of the mechanism could sit on top of my new plate (shown in red below) with the crank handle pointing to the back of the truck and the cable dropping towards the front of the truck.
I'll point Pipewizard back to this post to see the second attachment (PMs don't allow attachments) below with 3 questions:
1. What vehicle did the hoist in his picture come from?
2. Does the crank handle attach to the shiny square piece that the green arrow points to behind the black hoist mechanism?
3. Is the angle of attachment of of the crank handle about the same as the green arrow shown?
Comments and ideas of what hoist mechanism to use please.
