Built for hunters who want a practical way to handle field dressing and lifting tasks away from the truck, this tree-mounted hoist provides a secure setup directly on a tree.

It stands 36" tall with a 29" arm and a 24' cable, giving it the reach needed for common field chores. When the work is done, it breaks down for easier transport and stores in the included carry bag.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Manual operation means lifting depends on the crank and cable rather than powered assistance, so it may take more effort than an electric hoist.
  • The hoist is designed to attach to a tree with the included chain and ratchet strap, so it is not a truck-hitch-mounted setup.
  • The product is rated to lift up to 300 lbs., which is useful for many field-dressing tasks but may not suit heavier loads.
  • At 36" tall with a 29" arm and a 24' cable, setup and working space should be considered before use in tight areas.
