Would this hoist handle a cow elk? Is 450 lb. an accurate description?

The hoist should lift the 450-lbs and suspend the load. It is doubtful whether you would be able to swivel the load with that amount of weight cantilevered on the arm. The swivel is accomplished without any kind of bearing or bearing material. It is simply a slightly smaller pipe inserted into the ID of slightly larger pipe size and binds easily.

Not sure I sould trust a cow elk on it. I think 300lb or so is about all I would trust with it. It's built pretty solid but 450lb is quite a bit. Again this is just personal opinion and I've only tested with 250lb which it held no problem

Only if you put new gusset supports in the corners, replaced the winch with a better quality product, added a foot or so to the height and found a 1/2 inch by 4 inch bolt for the receiver as the hole for the reciever pin is drilled for the smaller 1 1/2 receiver style pin and not the larger pin your 2 inch receiver takes. This is a decent white tail unit but not built for elk. The Foreverlast folks in Hebronvile, Texas are nice to deal with though and great service.

I too was debating over the 500lb or 750lb model for my Husqvarna, so I called MoJack and was told to figure 1/3rd of the total weight as these jacks are designed to lift only the front wheels, not the complete mowing unit. I was able to go with the 500lb unit as my mower is just under 900lbs total. And this jack works like a charm. Great investment.

Hi. the manual for this MoJack EZ MAX model 45001 states not to exceed 450 lbs front end weight. so the 450 lbs listed is correct by what the manual says.

The information on the Amazon webite says 5,000 lbs, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. This device is not a rapid link, so it is not designed to hold weight constantly (like in a crane setup). I use mine to hook up a tow chain, which means that one of thej chain links will likely fail long before it reaches the 5,000 capacity of this clip.

I used it to move a couple of pallets in the barn that probably weighed 6 or 7 hundred pounds with no problem. The spreader bars would help because the forks will slide sideways if you tap something against them.

I would only use it on a 2'' sapling or smaller for a atv. I use it mostly for vertical pulling from the bucket on my 50 hp tractor. Use 2 people on the vertical-This keeps you from getting off and on the tractor too much. The same would be true for horizontal pulling.

It is heavy duty. I would put it around 45lbs. It is not close to the prev answer of 70#

I use it to haul a 40 ft ladder on my Tundra. It will adjust higher than I need it to.

No, it will not accept 1/2" rope, but it does come with a yellow nylon rope that is strong enough to hoist your deer. I hung 2 this year with no issues.

I have this hoist in the loft of the barn to lift materials up to the second floor. Works great for this, see no reason why it won't work for your truck topper provided you come up with proper rigging to lift it. Note, the maximum lifting capacity on a single line is 220 pounds, the lifting capacity is double that by rigging up a double line with the extra pulley provided.

Depends upon the "puller" and the "pulled". This rig has a slick poly line to pull, the puller should be wearing a good pair of stout leather gloves to wrap around the line. This rig, a two fold purchase could easily support a 300 pound load. However, due to the small slick poly hoisting line the load could easily slip resulting in damage to the load. Anyone hoisting a live person or hoisting loads with people working under the load should not use this rig.

The hoist can lift a 150 pound motor easy, and has a 360 swing to it. Your backing your truckto the back of the boat first. Should be no problem.

I have 2 John Deere 48" riders. It works fine lifting the front end. No problem!

I have taken down a 240lb White Tail Buck with this , But I used Barnet Bolts !! I think you can take down a Elk with a close up shot ??

I bought this for my Springer Spaniel. I still have it after several years. I definitely think it can handle a 50lb dog.

I've never lifted anything with the strap, but I did pull a 12,000 lb Class C RV out of a muddy ditch and it worked just fine. It's a 20,000 lb capacity strap, two of them would distribute the load, so my guess it would do fine. For the price, its worth the try in my opinion.

I use it with a 6000 lb. winch and pulled tractors out of the mud. This is a solid piece and should do what you want to do with no problem.
