Extreme Max Extendable Rotating Electric Hitch Hoist 5001.6787 3000lb

Description

Product Overview

The Extreme Max 5001.6787 electric hitch hoist is engineered for demanding outdoor professionals who require a dependable lifting solution that combines strength, flexibility, and durability. Featuring a high‑torque 12 V electric winch rated for 3000 lb pull, the unit can safely lift and lower loads up to 600 lb, making it suitable for transporting game, heavy luggage, coolers, and other bulky items. The hoist’s robust steel construction, reinforced with corrosion‑resistant coating, ensures long‑term performance even in harsh weather conditions. Its telescoping frame extends from a compact 6 ft height to a maximum of 8 ft 7 in, allowing users to reach elevated loads while maintaining a low profile for easy transport. A full 360‑degree swivel base provides complete maneuverability, enabling precise positioning of the load without the need for additional rigging. All components are designed for quick installation on standard hitch receivers found on trucks, ATVs, and UTVs, with an adjustable foot that accommodates a range of receiver heights.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, this hoist excels in a variety of outdoor scenarios. Hunters can use the 3000 lb winch to lift harvested game onto a vehicle or trailer, reducing strain and speeding up field dressing. Campers benefit from the ability to raise heavy camping gear, such as large coolers, portable generators, or stacked firewood, directly onto a roof rack or trailer bed. The extendable reach is particularly useful for loading and unloading equipment from elevated platforms, boat trailers, or off‑road recovery situations. Because the hoist operates on a 12 V system, it can be powered directly from a vehicle’s battery, eliminating the need for separate power sources. Its compact storage size—folding down to 6 ft—means it can be stowed in a rear cargo area or a dedicated storage compartment when not in use, preserving valuable space for other gear.

FAQ

What vehicle hitch sizes are compatible with this hoist?

The hoist is designed to fit standard 2‑inch and 2.5‑inch hitch receivers commonly found on trucks, ATVs, and UTVs. An adjustable foot plate accommodates slight variations in receiver height.

Can the winch be operated without a vehicle battery?

Yes, the winch can be powered by any 12 V source, such as a portable battery pack or a solar‑charged deep‑cycle battery, provided the power source can supply sufficient amperage for the winch’s load rating.

Is the hoist suitable for marine or salt‑water environments?

The hoist’s steel frame is treated with a corrosion‑resistant coating, making it suitable for occasional exposure to salt‑water spray. However, for prolonged marine use, we recommend rinsing the unit with fresh water after exposure and applying a protective spray.

How much weight can the hoist itself lift?

While the winch can pull up to 3000 lb, the hoist’s lifting capacity is rated at 600 lb, which is the maximum safe load for vertical lifting operations.

What maintenance is required to keep the hoist in optimal condition?

Regularly inspect the winch cable for signs of wear, keep the moving parts lubricated with approved grease, and store the unit in a dry environment when not in use. Periodic checks of the electrical connections will help ensure reliable performance.
