Handy DIY, "you put it together", truck bed crane for the 2019 Ford Ranger.

I already have a winch with ramps for "wheeled equipment" but I was in need to load heavy materials (< 1000#) in the Ranger truck bed. By searching the Internet, I was able to acquire a quality crane for ~$200. The only pickup truck requirement is that you must have a 2" receiver hitch installed on your Ranger. (CURT now sells one for the 2019 Ford Ranger - C93-13417 - class 3) The best part is that it only takes ~5 minutes to put together/take apart and stores in a compact state. Ranger hauling couldn't be easier!
BTW … you cannot drive the Ranger with the crane attached!

That is awesome. For about $200 ya can't beat it. I have a friend that does landscaping and may be interested.

Just did a search and found some at Northern Tool.

I have one that goes right into the receiver hitch, I don't have pictures of it because currently I have it bolted to a pallet for pulling fence posts. Good build though.

PS, I can drive with mine on

Most people in the landscape business use "pull" trailers

Crane design notes & tips:
This particular truck bed crane has a sling lift span/range from 30" to 84" (54" or 4 1/2')
This means you need "to sling your material low" so you can make it over the ~ 36" tailgate height.
Keep in mind, the Ranger's aluminum tailgate maximum load restriction of 485# but your tailgate can be
easily removed.
