Game Hoist

Very nice!

Built this one a few years ago. Kind of over did it though. I used 1/4" thick 2" tubing. It will probably pick up an elephant if the truck would handle it If I ever build another one, which I plan on doing I'm gonna use 11 gauge steel instead. I also made mine to swivel so you can load your animal into the back of the truck. Since I used 1/4 thick steel it didn't make it any waeker. I used a piece of solid round bar for the swivel part. The main thing I wanted was to be able to open the tailgate when using it. Many of the ones I found commercially available to buy didn't extend far enough for the tailgate to open.



I also use this break apart gambrel. It takes up a lot less room and will handle as much weight as any one piece steel gambrel and you can store it in a small bag.

Where did that gambrel come from? I gotta have one

where are ya'll getting the lug you're using to make a rotating gambrel? looks like solid stock with a thick washer?

How long did you make yours? And did you use solid pipe for the pivot?


Alos where can you get one of those electric winches and how hard would it be to wire to fit a 6 way plug?

I debated whether to post my hoist pics since I didn't take many during construction, but this seems an appropriate place to put'em.

This is actually two different hoists, but they aren't much different.

In the one with the cooler, the truck is on an incline! Nothing, I repeat NOTHING is bent or sagging.

Dale,

I like your game hoist design, and I want to build one like yours myself. I think I like the one with the crank lower down with two sheaves. Do you like tht one better, or the other one with the crank at the top? Could you please share a little more detail on the design of the interface between the lower and upper unit? Looks like both the male and female sides are welded. What are the materials for the male and female joint section? Also, what materials are necessary for the sheave setups, and how did you install the sheaves in the metal stock?

Thanx!

Seriously? I want one but have no idea on how to build one.
