ccnnc Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Spring's coming and that means multiple loads of mulch for several landscaping projects and some rock for the driveway. Got a new Craftsman catalogue in the mail yesteday. Happened to notice a listing for the Loadhandler -- "turn your pickup into a dump truck". Basically it's a mat attached to a ratchet that you crank to move the load to the back of the bed. If this works it would save this old boy's back a LOT of stress and make the job go much faster. Anybody ever seen/used one of these? Thanks, Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hey, a non-controversial topic!! My dear Colin, we have a utility trailer outfitted with one of these devices, may not be the exact thing, but it does work well. We use it to haul horse manure to a dumping site and the 4Hers have used it to sell prime aged manure to Master Gardeners, and they can operate it too. The only plus for us was to install a sheep of stainless steel on the bed on the trailer for easier sliding. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliepoudrier Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 LOL! I was trying to envision how a SS sheep helped with the operation of the "load lifter"! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHorse Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 A friend of mine has one installed in his truck and it works great. Do stainless steel sheep give steel wool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
