cheap way to empty your pickup

[RopeKnight]

Works fine for me for a few years. I use potato forks and pull out the sides first to release some of the pressure.

Also have plastic rink boards along the rail and over the wheel well to avoid lock ups.

I would be happier with a tilt box, mb next year.

Oh the good thing is it doesn't add much weight to the truck.

I have the small version in my Dakota and the large in my Ram. Larger one is made with steel opposed to plastic.

so are you guyd speculating it wont move a large load of wet chip...Or is that fact? Good to hear the one for the Ram is in steel but will the English importer stock it

[nepia]

Billy, stop worrying! A load of wet chip just ain't a problem. The hardest part is starting off the unloading: the grip the sheet has on the load means that as you turn the handle the tailgate lifts instead of the load moving but as soon as the chip has some weight holding the tailgate down you're off and running.

Even with greedy boards? if that's fine i'll order one next week:thumbup1:

[nepia]

Yup, boards 'n' all. On page 2 or 3 of this thread I put up a really interesting (!) short You Tube vid of it.

Hi nepia, where can you get one of the load handlers from in the UK? and at what price? your vid shows how effective it is! what truck do you use it on?

[nepia]

Jack, contact details for the UK seller and approx. cost are on page 1, post 6 of this thread. The vehicle in the vid is a Navara King Cab with a Custom ridged plastic bedliner but the floor doesn't matter as long as it has a smooth finish.

Do they do one for a double cab Navara bed?

What do you all reckon to this?

I reckon they don't import them, but it looks easy enough to make. A winch, some steel, some fittings, and a strenghtened factory pickup bed, job done after welding, and bolting it togther, no? Wether you'd get insurance cover for "home made tipper insert" is beyond me to say. Though I'd bet no, or some sky high fee.

One size fits all. The clamps for the tailgate are adjustable and the bit that goes on the bed is just a sheet unwound from a roller. If one pickup has a bed 14" longer than the next you just unroll an extra 14" of sheet; there's plenty on the roller.
