    MaxxTow vs Viking Rack Jack Magnum Hitch Hoist/Crane

    Anyone have either of these? I’m looking at getting one to store in a RamBox if it will fit so I can load 2 man lifts or bulky/heavier equipment into the bed. One use case would be getting an elliptical into the bed on my own by using the crane (main reason I looked into this). It looks like...
