How far from the truck bed sides is this mounted? Is the crane easily detached from the base? Finally, is the base only available? Thanks.

I cant measure the side to the mount, I am recovering from 2 recent surgeries and the 3rd is scheduled for the first week in January (one failed) I don't walk very good at this time) I can tell you, to detach the crane you just lift it out of its base, however it is heavy and the posts try and move apart. I just use a 1" wide utility strap and ratchet it tight, then lift out. I haven't tried to order an extra base, it would be nice though. I am planning on making this a trailer hitch mount as well, probably will be toward May, June depending on my back surgery success.

I, too, was not sure what you meant about the base. I attached the mounting block to the deck and then ran a treated 2X4 to the ground at an angle - to keep it out of the way. This seems to work well. I am building a frame around the base to fill with rubber mulch. Hope this helps.

Yes I have a Truck Bed box installed before the ladder rack. Still gives me over 4 ft. in length. but they way it mount in the bed gives me under 4ft. in width, but the rack is rock solid. all the mounting hardware is supplied. I have added a non-slip tape to top bar. Really love this ladder rack!

The only reason I can even guess why it's not for pickup trucks is because it does not have any holes drilled into the bottom for mounting it down to the bed of a truck. All you have to do is put four holes in the bottom and bolt it down for security and safety in the bed. This box is a rectangle, there are no lips on the ends to hang onto the sides of the bed either, but I'm sure you knew that. It arrived to us in good shape, nice black paint, all aluminum and gas shocks to hold the lid open. I saw that (not for trucks) when I was ordering and it gave me a bit of heartburn as well, but it is perfectly fine.

I believe it is about 20" the. The top of the tank is even with the top of the truck bed. Hope this helps.

The truck stays in our sandbox so I'm afraid I can't help you out. It's a really sturdy truck, though, and great for little construction workers in the sandbox :-)

It's been a while but that sounds about right - it was fairly awkward for one person to handle and you may need a hand truck to move it around easily. Of course, you can always unpack it and carry the pieces separately. The unit is quite well thought out and very sturdy - particularly at that price point.

No. It does not move out, just up and down on top of truck. The side ladders are removeable.

It doesn't include a tow hitch. I'm sure you can buy a bracket to mount, you will have to petal a little harder to pull the added weight.

The beam you see that is attached to the hitch can be slid back and forth easily. The only problem you might have to solve is getting clearance for the legs under the crane. As designed, it easily loads items into the center of the truck bed, and can be moved out to load into the edge of the bed. It pretty much covers it all. If you want to mount in the actual center of the bed, you need the "pick-up" style crane that has a flat mount plate to bolt to the truck floor.

I am assuming the 32' extension ladder would be around 16' in the "closed" position. If so, I would think you would be able to haul it in the bed of your truck with this bed extender. The longest item I have hauled was a bundle of 12' 2x6's but I didn't feel that I was "maxing out" on the extender's length limit in doing so. You should consider weighing down the ladder end in the bed with a couple bags of sand and definitely secure the ladder well to the extender and bed. I have not used my extender in the raised position where you would carry the ladder on your truck cab roof and the raised extender but that would be another and possibly better option with this carrier.

Yea man it could be removed when I got this 4 days ago in the original package it was separated from the stand so if you don't like the base or want to remove it just remember it's already detached so don't worry I hope I provided you with an pleasable answers:)

The base is NOT in the way for me. I have found the tower to be sturdy and all that it promised. Enjoy.-Don

You probably won't need a trailer, Doug. If it hangs out the back a little, you can tie it off. The boat is light enough to get in and out of the truck fairly easily. Good luck....

Yea you can take it off fairly quickly. Has the spring pins in the bar to detach the top quickly or you can take the base assembly off in about minute.

Yes, there are two small screws on the bottom of the stand.. Once they are removed, the truck will come off...I hope the isthe answer you needed

No, it's only partially assembled. There are 3 different heights that the head/ jaws sit at. You have to put the legs in place, so that you can set it at the height you need to clear the bed rails of the truck.
