Weight and Ease of Removal of the Demco Hijacker UMS

Question

Question:

I am looking at the Demco 8550033 fifth wheel hitch for my Ford F350 8foot bed with the factory fifth wheel prep. How much does it weigh? To remove the hitch is it easy to separate the head from the base/saddle to minimize the weight I would have to lift?

Expert Reply:

The total weight of the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550033 that you referenced is 177 lbs. You pretty easily remove the center section from the rest of the hitch to make removing it easier.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

I recommend replacing an entire ladder if it's damaged. You'll want to find a replacement based on the height. Such as the Stromberg Carlson #LA-401 that is 99-1/2 inches tall. They can be cut shorter to customize the length if needed.
