As I mentioned earlier, I installed a Harbor Freight
"truck crane" on
my truck. When trying to lift a 300 lbs rotary table into
my truck,
using the crane, the winch jammed.


Did you happen to notice how much deflection you had on the mast where it
meets the pickup side rail?


Steve, unfortunately, I did not, I was preoccupied by the winch jam. I
will check tomorrow when I will unload said table.
