In the picture provided, you see the original design of the bedlifter. While that design works well enough, we have recently found that by shortening the overall width of the bedlifter from 60.75" to 48" greatly reduces the chance of breakages. The most common place we have seeen breakages has been on the undercutting blade, whicih is a recycled hardened steel plow blade.

Current revision:

The uprights on either side are 1x4x30in the cross beam that holds the pins is 3x3x58.75in in the original design, but in the improved design has it at 3x3x46in The pin holders are 3x3 steel cubes with pin holes drilled into them The cutting blade is a recycled snow plow blade provided by the Thruway to our client

The third point of the hitch falls 7.5 in above the bottom of the triangular support that is welded to the top. This is very important because the angles mean everything to getting the bedlifter to work correctly without having extra hand sit on the back or added extra weight.
