May be a bit big for your application

With the 7500 gross train weight limit, I think it's a tad outside my scope! ?

I recall a fellow mogger who build a vertical exhaust stack behind the cab with heavy duty tubing. This served as both exhaust and base for the crane to load spare tire on the roof.

This could work... ???

I think I saw that one too a few years and ago but have not been able to find it again. I wanted to replicate it. I think a headache rack/crane would be a very useful thing for many people. Load your camper, spare tire, or just lift your whole rack to pack and unpack or use as a table while camping. A fabricator could do pretty well with something like that, I think, probably a 30yo patent or some bs.

Yeah, exactly. You never know what you'll need to lift. Maybe you need to help the stranded Vespisitis by lifting the Scooter up on the roof! Check out my friends Stergios and Alexandra at https://www.worldvespa.net

Mine is perhaps more of a davit. I use a simple chain fall to lift my spare. Swings both ways and locks in place.

Very handy! Very tidy! I like that. Hadn't thought of a chain-thingy. I'd prefer a wire, but I won't dismiss the chain. Could be useful. Thanks!
