Truck Bed Unloader - LH3000 - Fits Full Size Trucks

Assuming you're not just some yuppie who bought a pickup because you think it makes you manly... This is for the people who own trucks and use them. I've had two load handlers in my life, One on a 3/4 ton ram and the other on a 1 ton F-150 super duty both with full size beds. Assuming you own a truck for the right reasons, you've spent your time shoveling mulch out of the bed or God forbid gravel. Even firewood is difficult, a pickup truck gives you the ability to move material from point a to b but what about once you get to your location? This thing is so simple but incredibly effective. Go to their website and watch the videos, it works exactly the way they show. You could look at the pictures on the box and put this item together, but the first time you use it you will be completely amazed. I just picked up 4,000 lb of 411 limestone. They say it can unload a full bed in under 1 minute, I would say it was under 45 seconds. What's nice is you can control the amount of material and then move the vehicle and then lay down more material. I can't say enough good things about this product, it's very heavy, extremely well built, and will last you longer than the truck well. Your purchase will move from truck to truck without it out. The most fun is firewood, it empties an entire bed of stacked firewood in a few seconds. Give this thing a shot, I think you'll be glad that you did.

Let me start off by saying i purchased the harbor freight version of this first,that does not fit the oddly shaped tailgates on the Ram 1500: returned that and went with this..I am glad it didn't fit this load handler although more money is constructed far superior to the junk I returned,its fully adjustable and fits great as well..Its constructed of steel instead of plastic and has bearings instead of makeshift plastic bushings..So as far as its construction i give it an A+,I did read about spray liners being a problem with heavier loads as well as product making its way off the drag sheet,so what I did was purchased a piece of 3/8 duraply(very smooth and handles elements well)and laid it into the bed(that takes care of the spray liner problem)next before pulling the drag sheet out I lay a blue tarp down,I like to come up and over the bedsides,next I lay the drag sheet down on top of tarp.I now load my product,mulch,firewood soil etc etc...I cover the product with the excess tarp that was laying over the bed sides....Ok time to unload,a dream..open up tarp,install crank handle,crank out product,whatever falls off drag sheet is caught in tarp,not a lot but some,when done cranking the drag sheet you just pull out the tarp removing whatever remaining product or debris....now my truck is a 1500 I am not crowning the bed with gravel or soil but good loads non the less..It works great and you will be glad you got it,not to mention the time you save,as well as your back...Just one more suggestion,when your done using it take it off the truck dont leave it on:what happens is dust and debri gets under the foam on the steel mounts and will scratch your tailgate in short order....Hope this Helps,good luck

OK harbor freight carries a $44 version that is OK for older trucks with a smaller depth of a tailgate if your tailgate is thicker than 3.78 inches you will need this product. The downside is you go up to $200+! So now think if 200 bucks is worth saving your back, saving the cleaning of your truck, speed and efficiency and the time that you spend at the dumps and 200 bucks is cheap compared to hydraulic options or really really nice versions of this unloader. If you are a working stiff and 200 bucks is a lot for a product that you’re only going to use a few times a year, This still is your product because now you’re gonna figure out how to use it even more if you can do things in 10 times the speed you start to get creative. I went to the dumps and spent more time showing people what it could do how efficient it was how simple it was how quick it was and the next thing you know it, people were grabbing my number to see if they could borrow it. Some people on YouTube give us a bad name because they have the wrong approach. If you have a truck bed with rubber liner, you are going to have to put down a sheet of tarp and or a piece of plywood. Also, do your best to keep everything centered and you won’t have any problems. It takes a little practice getting used to once you understand how it works, you’re gonna love it. It’s worth 200 bucks. If you have an older truck, the $44 version may be easier on your pocketbook, but it does not move as easy and smoothly as his product, but it still works in theory. The reason why I gave it four stars is because it does not fit the top of my tailgate totally perfect. It looks unstable, but it’s only in appearance..

I paid $250 and it’s definitely worth it

Short review - Great product that works as advertised! Details: We decided to replace all the wood mulch around our house this summer. Plan was to install 1/2 yard of river rock at a time - after the first load of river rock without the Loadhandler took us 6-8 hours to unload (not exaggerating - hey, we are in our mid 60's and I'm handicapped), we knew we needed help. We bought the Loadhandler and were a bit skeptical but had to try something. We did see a review that noted spray in bedliners create a drag that makes it hard to use so we took precautions. Loadhandler had our next load of river rock off the truck in about 45 minutes - that time includes moving the truck into different positions and raking the stone in place as we go!!! Suffice to say, we moved 2 yards of topsoil (2 loads) and 5 more yards of river rock (10 loads) over the summer. That was our plan for this year - except we planned for this to take into the fall, and we are done before August. Wife is a schoolteacher so having August free of this work is a blessing.

This thing sucks as bad as the harbor freight one. The mat fell apart on the first use.
