heres the company that sell them

Penny Hydraulics - Vehicle Mounted swing lifts, Mezz Lifts, Side Lifts, Rear Mounted Lifts

 

 

Good link thanks. They probably cost more than I would pay for the truck for it to go one, but its a good reference. I'll search ebay some more.

I have a swing lift in the garage to ready for mounting to a trailer, its rated at 500kg at 1mtr

 

its a minicrane500 by i think scotatlas, i picked it up of ebay, it is manual slew and extention but was only £160, it has three extention arms, it weighs a lot for what it is, must be over 150kg. All it needs for operating is a 12v supply for the electric winch to lift, i bought it for moving bigger bits of timber onto a trailer when working alone, but as such havent got round to mounting it,

 

ideally i wanted something like a small hiab 12v version or a maxilift which come up on ebay occasionally, but they are dear for something that wouldnt be used that often, also the minicrane lifts off the mounting plate when not in use.

the newer the crane the more it lifts and the less it weighs. Avoid the old dinasaurs on ebay. old cranes will be difficult and expensive to get through the test. I take it you already have your operators ticket.
