Load Handler is the Best!
By L. P. May
If you have ever tried unloading bulk mulch without this, you are out of your mind. This is the most useful item I have ever found and what a simple concept. This attaches to the back of the bed in less than 5 minutes and you are ready to go. Now, when I spread mulch I put 5 gallon buckets over my plants, back up the truck over the bed and start cranking. I do a little raking and I am done. Just be sure and remember to spread the liner out before you get the mulch dumped in your truck. I did that once; talk about feeling stupid. Anyway if you buy it you will love it and it does gravel also. Just check the actual liner in your pick up to see if it's plastic or a Rhino. If it's a Rhino you'll need the pad that the company sells so the Load Handler will slide easily. And I would also suggest the heavier duty the better for more uses.

It works, but has limitations
By Thomas H. Lawler
This works, but the "easily unloads your 3000 lbs load in 30 seconds" isn't totally true when you add in needing to set up the ideal conditions needed as well the load capasity being 1/2 what you may expect. I got this when my brother ask if I'd help him get a bunch of fill dirt for his yard. It did help with emptying the truck bed more quickly, but it isn't making things as easy as if you'd added a hydraulic dump (as they may try to make you think it is).

This is pretty much a 4 foot wide woven "tarp" that gets wound up on a pipe on the end of the tail gate to "conveyor belt" things to your tail gate. The crank handle is just a flat bar that slides in a slot cut in the pipe (which easily falls out of the slot when you're not holding it) and has a bolt with a plastic sleeve as the actual "handle". I have a plastic bed liner where this tarp rides fine on it, but if you have a spray-in liner I'm not sure if it would work well since they are like "sandpaper" a nd the woven tarp would likely snag on it.

When I used it, I'm almost sure now that I overloaded it, so my tail gate now has indentations where the brackets for the pipe were (despite the rubber in them to cushion it). Also the mount brackets have pulled off of the tail gate when first starting to pull the load off of the truck (because it was easier for the pipe to move toward the load instead of the load move to the pipe), so I've had to have someone help hold them down as I start winding it. Perhaps the overloading seems like my wrong-doing, but they do say "helps you with hauling, rock, dirt, & much more" even showing that in the ad pictures (they have more pictures with the 3000lbs model Load Handler Cargo Unloader - 3000-Lb. Capacity, Commercial Grade). A full size truck like mine can easily end up with ~4000 lbs load and how do you know just by eyeballing it what the weight is? Running some math now, to keep a load of dirt under 2000 lbs even with prett y dry soil (that is said to be about 75lbs per cubic yard with wet soil being over 100lbs), in a 8 X 4 foot bed you need to get only a 10 inch high load and that is about 1/2 the height of most beds. I can understand it being hard to engineer something for a full bed load, but if it's to be used for such things as they say & show who wants to only get 1/2 what they could in each trip? The pictures do show the peak of the load just at the bed height with very little on the sides, but is that what you're likely to get when at the nursery?

Also when using it, I first need to dig out the 1 foot area between the wheel wells & cab on each side throwing that dirt onto the tail gate (partly to help weigh it down). If I don't do that, any dirt that's between the cab and those wheel wells makes it seem like the load is hitting a wall where it's impossible to wind this up. Again, the pictures show the perfect pile centered in the truck (with almost nothing going into tho se sides), but after you've driven very far (going over some bumps etc) it will probably have shifted to the sides making you have to dig them out.

I found it helpful to use a typical tarp on top of this units "tarp" to try to have an easier way to gather the dirt from the corners, funnel the dirt into a wheel barrow while unloading, cover the load while on the road, and keep the dirt out of this units woven fabric. Also when preparing to get a load, I extend this units tarp so it comes off the pipe down the tail gate, across the full bed, then back up the bed wall along the cab. That makes it so as the load is being pulled toward the back and some dirt falls toward the cab, an extra couple feet of tarp will catch that dirt and bring it along with the rest.

Get one!
By coad
This thing has paid for itself many times over in saved delivery fees. I am actually reviewing my second one, had the first for about 5 years, and used the the heck out of it. Rock, dirt, sand, mulch, you name it. I broke the last one by not securing one of the straps and backing over it as it dangled. If I never make that mistake, it will last forever. The only thing I ever had to do to it was more securely attach the mat to the axle using duct tape. After several loads of rock (probably in excess of recommended weight) the mat let go of the pole. I will always have one of these around, I can't imagine being a homeowner/landscaper with a truck and not having one.
