Today we're going to take a look at the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for the Companion and Patriot hitches. Now, this is a heavy duty steel tool that'll let you list your BMW fifth wheel hitch from your truck bed with the hoists. It is designed to work with the BMW Companion series or the Patriot 5th wheel hitches.Basically this will lower down into the fifth wheel hitch and the jaws of the fifth wheel clamp around this device for a nice secure grip. Then you just attach a hoisting cable to the opening right up here. Now, the hoisting cable is not included. Then you'll just lift your hitch straight out of your truck bed.
Makes it very easy to remove your fifth wheel from your truck.This is a steel construction. It's a nice gray color. Now the maximum load capacity on this tool is 500 pounds, so you do not want to lift loads over 500 pounds. This part is made in the USA, but that should do it for the review on the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for Companion and Patriot hitches.

Heavy-duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around device for secure grip. Attach hoisting cable (sold separately) to lift hitch out of truck bed.The B&W lifting device seems well built and does exactly what it's intended to do.
In bed 5th wheel hitches can be heavy to install/remove. I bought an electric hoist with remote control at Harbor Freight and mounted it on the ceiling in my garage. (attached to ceiling joists) This tool lifts the whole hitch out and lowers it to the floor. Reverse the process to install. No heavy lifting required.
Folks, I had made a way to lift my hitch out of my truck with my electric hoist, worked OK, but Not Safe. I then purchased B & W's 5TH Wheel Lifting device for my Companion Hitch AND IT'S MUCH SAFER, EASIER, AND QUICKER. Highly recommend this unit. Rick

The lifting device for my B&W Compaion fifth wheel hitch has worked out great! I have a double direction gantry with an electric hoist, works perfect for this device and hitch. If I didn’t I would mount a pulling ring and use a hand hoist, Makes quick and secure lifting of your hitch that it fits, Rick

I have been using straps to lift my 5th wheel until this tool came along. Fit my B&W patriot slider hitch perfectly and the eyelet for the hook on my lifting hoist makes this a perfect fit!
Works great for lifting my B&W hitch out of the bed of my truck. Makes simple work for 1 person.
Great invention. Finally I can effortlessly move my hitch in and out of the truck! Just close the hitch jaws on the lifting device, and it is ready to hoist. I love this thing!!
I use this with a companion fifth wheel hitch and a folding shop crane to load and unload the hitch by myself. Works perfect.

1 year later and couldnt be happier with the hitch. Great setup that still allows a flat bed floor when not in use.

Lift my B&W companion hitch using this and a winch. Very sturdy, no issues.
Worked great, as advertised. Transfer of a B & W base and head from one truck to another using SIL's boom truck was quick and painless. He was impressed too.
The hitch system is perfect, and install was easy. Would have given a 5 star but your choice of carrier for shipping lost you that final star. The hitch system was shipped on July 27 with scheduled delivery shown as Aug. 2. The hitch didn't leave origin shipping terminal until that date and sit an additional 3 business days at the delivery terminal. In addition, I was told by etrailer that the shipper would contact me to schedule delivery - DIDN'T HAPPEN. The delivery driver contacted me an hour before arrival telling me he was on his way. I had to stop him because I was out of town and he could not deliver at the house with a semi truck. The hitch was finally received Aug. 9, 7 days after scheduled delivery. After reading online reviews and the BBB reviews I would never use them if I were a shipper.
It was used to install and will be used for removal and servicing of the B&W Patriot 18K hitch that we purchased from you as well. I would like to see better protection for the hitch. I'm very particular. Thank you for your customer service.
Very impressed with the entire transaction. Very helpful staff!
Quality of hitch was great.
I have used the B&W lifting device to remove my 5th wheel hitch after our camping trips. It saves us time and muscle. I use the lifting device along with my tractor. Well worth the money!!
Great product. Easily attached to my companion fifth wheel hitch. Made installing complete hitch assembly in my tuck a breeze.
This is the perfect adapter for my B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch! I installed a small wrench on my garage ceiling and now installing my hitch is soooooo much easier! Great price and timely shipping! Honestly I have found etrailer to be a very reputable and trustworthy company to deal with! I have made several large purchases from them and have been pleased every time!
Heavy duty! Works great lifting my B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch. Keeps the hitch level and balanced while lifting.
Great product. Used it several times and makes loading and unloading the hitch so much easier and safer.
Great item for removing the B&W hitch. Would not be able with out it, back saver!
Great little tool to lift my B&W Companion hitch out of my truck bed. I have a hoist crane mounted to my garage ceiling that clips right into this.
Should work fine with any 5th wheel hitch.
Just what I needed to install/remove the fifth wheel hitch from my truck bed. Excellent service from etrailer as usual will shop there again when needed.

Have only used this product a couple of times since I have been just leaving the fifth wheel plate in the truck. However this the only way to go if you find yourself installing and removing your hitch frequently, this is a handy and safer way of task completion. Always great service from etrailer.
Makes removing and installing the hitch very easy!
How boring! I've always rated e-trailer with 5 stars! I've had a B+W hitch before in my long bed, but after 19 years treated myself to another Super Duty - now a shortbed. There was no question that I wouldn't purchase another B+W - this one a Companion Slider with the puck system. I just ordered it last week and already picked it up from the freight depot. They put it right in the truck bed and I'll assemble it there to minimize having to lift it. I'll do the assembly as soon as it gets over 40 degrees and will try to write another review when I use it. I expect another 5 stars as that's what I've always received from B+W. Thanks e-trailer! Another satisfied customer!
Haven’t had the chance to use the 5th wheel lift yet. But like the compact design and know it will serve the purpose. Etrailer always comes through with prompt shipping and quality products. Thank again.

Great product, this is a back saver. Getting up in age and wanting something to make installing the Fifth wheel hitch easier. This and a portable hydraulic hoist did the trick.
Great product and great way to protect the surface of your 5th wheel hitch
Perfect for bad backs to use a lift.......easy ,safe, don't forget to close the latch!

Update. Still working great. No issues at all. The only improvement I might suggest is it could be a little shorter.
