I picked up a crane similar to that for $50.00 at a tool sale and mounted it in the back corner of my pickup. It is supposedly rated for 1000 lbs but I think that is optimistic But it will lift a section of stone easily and it lifts the packer in and out of the truck. It will also lift a 24" B&B tree. My back says it is the best 50 bucks I have spent and best of all it only needs 1 person to go pick things up instead of 2 of us.
