The mounting plate is 10 5/8 x 10 5/8" square. It has 8 bolt holes, 4 on each side. They are 4 1/8" apart center to center. You can mount it into the bed or your truck in whatever location suits your need best.

Question

Can addtional base plates be purchased?

I have 2 locations where I would like to mount the crane. A concern is the weight of the crane when moving it from one base to another. Are portions removable such as the boom and piston to reduce weight?

An additional base plate may be available from Vestil directly. The crane can be broken down into multiple pieces but tools are required to do so.

The Vestil Winch Operated Truck Jib Crane will have eight holes, each 11/16" in diameter, on the mounting base. The manufacturer recommends using 5/8" galvanized bolts, along with lock washers, flat washers, and nuts to accommodate the thickness of your truck bed.
