Loadhandler Pickup Truck Unloader
Loadhandler Pickup Truck Unloader

The Loadhandler Pickup Truck Unloader is designed to turn a mid- or full-size pickup into a kind of dump truck. The device consists of a hand crank, a heavy- gauge poly fabric 'drag sheet' rolled onto a steel bar that runs the length of the tailgate, and adjustable, padded brackets and tie down straps that secure roller bar to tailgate (no welding, cutting, or drilling required). It works as follows: (1) drop tailgate and unroll drag sheet to cover truck bed; (2) take on cargo (e.g., soil, sand, gravel, rocks, mulch, hay bales, bulk or bagged material); then (3) insert hand crank into end of roller bar and rewind drag sheet, which pulls cargo toward the back of the bed.
