Not sure? This modle I have tested on another truck. My freind has one on his flat bed. We lifted a very heavy 6 gang disk plow up onto his truck with it. I question that it would work but it just lifted it and we swung it around and onto the bed. You have to ancor it good. I have 9- 1/2 inch bolts holding it to the bed. 5 are in the side rails and 4 will go thru a section of channel steel under the frame bolted on a angle across the corner. I have a cross beam that goes right under the Boom so it is in a good spot for lifting and one bolt goes thru it. With a stiff leg (trailer jack or brace in the stake pocket) under it the bed won't flex when lifting.
