Our Boat Motor Trailer Loader allows you to secure up to 2500 lbs up over the box of your truck and cab, thus allowing one to tow a second Trailer!
This system is easily adaptable to fit any pickup size or bed length and any Trailer up to 102 inches wide. The 14’ ramps fold up to 8 feet long and are conveniently stored in your truck bed.
The unique design distributes the weight in the bed of the pickup rather than just on the rails of your truck and leaves room under your Trailer for storage. This is especially helpful when you have more gear than space inside your pickup. The 14-foot folding ramps make loading safe and easy!
Now you can load your Boat/Motor/Trailer, Jet Ski Trailer or any other Trailer, up to 2500 lbs up over the box of your truck and cab, thus allowing one to tow a second Trailer! more
A unique racking system that is fully adjustable and customizable to your needs. Our Rail System allows both the Headache Rack and Cargo Rack to be slid along the rail.
Don’t leave your boat home because you have a fifth wheel! The Front Boat Loader conveniently stores your boat over the cab and hood of your pickup leaving the bed open for connecting your fifth wheel.
Load your boat by yourself with the push of a button. No more struggling to get your boat on your truck and no more climbing.

The most expensive part you will need is a reciever hitch for you car or truck. I got mine from JCWhitney.com for $100 dollars it is a class V (5) hitch and is rated for 700 lbs tounge weight, since my truck is only rated for 200 lbs I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a strong hitch and since I plan on driving the truck into the ground no one else will over load my truck. trailer hitches are rated by the weight they can pull, a class I hitch is the simple flat bar that you put on a car to support the hitch ball. Class II is a 1 1/4" square tube that is rated higer than a class I, it is the lowest of the reciever type hitches. Class III and up are 2" square reciever type hitches, the hitch has a 2" square hole in it to take the draw bar that the hitch ball is mounted on.
You can get a hitch and mount it yourself, or a Uhaul, Sears automotive department , or similar will sell you one and mount it for you.
The next part you will need is a "truck bed extender" I got mine from Harbor Freight.com (p# 39168-2VGA) for 30$, it now lists for $39.99.
The third part you will need for a minivan or car is a 2" square steel tube that fits into a 2" reciever hitch, I got mine as a left over from construction at work.
The last part you will need is another draw bar pin like the two that come with the bed extender. I got mine cheap at Home Depot, but harbor freight, jcwhitney, or any trailer hitch type place will have them.
This picture is from the Harbor Freight catalog, I used to haul my canoe upside down on the bed extender just like the boards are shown in this picture.
I started with the standard bed extender, but I wanted to be able to swivel the cross bar to allow easier loading of the canoe. I found a galvanized pipe at the hardware store fit the socket on the end of the "L" bar perfectly so I drilled it to lock it into the "L" bar socket.
then I put the cross bar in the top of the 2" tube. It is set at the same level as the front cross bar on my van luggage rack, I should put a pin in the tubes to lock the top bar down but the lower leg of the "T" is so long that it can't jump up out of the 2" tube, so I havn't.
As you can see in the picture this allows me to load and unload the van without having to remove the 2" tube section, the tailgate comes up to high to open it with the canoe on the roof though. [links]
