Hunters Specialties Super Mag Lift System with Magnum Gambrel

This is targeted for hunters but my use is a bit different. The 40" tire on a dual deadlock wheel is too heavy for me to lift up and mount on the tire carrier of my Jeep by myself. I could do it with the 37" tires but not the 40". Usually there is somebody around that could help but not always. My solution is to rig a hook (out of 1/2" cold rolled rod) that extends a couple feet above the mounted tire. Hook the lift onto it and with a rope through the tire hoist up up to the proper height and slide it onto the studs. It works very well for this. I must say I am impressed with the unit. The rope is not that super slippery poly stuff but feels very good in the hand. I was a little concerned about the lock until I understood how it worked. At first I thought the arm acted upon a catch mechanism in one of the wheels; but I was wrong. The rope actually catches on the internal wedge of the lock levers loop itself and is quite effective and very simple. When pulling a load up and then moving to the lock position you only loose about 1/2" of height. The quality of the metal and clips seems very good. For hunters who intend on using it for game the gambrel seems to be stout and is welded nicely.

As a hunter, this is everything that you need, IT'S not lightweight, so that heavy Buck isn't enough to overload this! The rope is very long! The framework is top quality steal with enamel paint and it works smoothly! I use this too lift a framework for my Lawnmower during non hunting season, my zero turn mower has a framework with a mower cloth cover that I lift up and down with one arm yet the framework is not light, this worked out great for both my needs! So eve if you're not a hunter, but wanted to lift something that i heavier than you want to lift often, this at $25 is unbelievable good deal! Get yours today!

This is an incredible deal. You cannot find a better quality pulley setup for this price, and it even comes with the rope and gambrel. The rope is decent quality, and the gambrel is superb quality. The gambrel is different than the one pictured...it comes with a few more reinforcements and welds. It is better than the one pictured. I use the pulley to lift deers, hogs, and other big game I cannot lift myself or with my hunting buddy into the bed of my lifted UTV. I just use the rope, not the gambrel to lift them into the bed, and it works great. Brake holds strong and is easy to use. I keep this in my UTV just for this purpose, and have yet to use it for cleaning. I have also used it to lift heavy items into the UTV and to help pull my UTV out of mud hole. So many uses for this thing.

I really like this gambrel. I just put it up in the garage yesterday. It's made in CHINA, just FYI. It comes with plenty of rope,50+ ft. The locking "hook" seem hokie to me. Not sure if i'll trust that as my lock. So I just tied a length of it off to a anchor point on my foundation of the garage. Extra security, I guess. Last thing I want to do is drop my dinner on the floor. Says it's rated for 1500lbs,IDK about that. It is however surprisingly strong! I haven't had a deer on it of course, but I did hoist my "DEAR" wife as she held onto it. My turn: I tied the rope off and did hang from it and actually did a pull up on it. I'm 240lbs+/- so if it holds me, I know it'll sling my venison in the air while I do my work. Overall I'm happy with it. The metal seems solid for deer/big game hoisting purposes. I hope I get to use it soon ,if ya know what I'm sayin'. Happy hunting and be safe, ethical and respectful in and outta the woods. Good luck from one hunter to another. *I've noticed lots of people online asking how to hang these or what others do. I won't put up my method here but will do so in the comments for anyone curious or interested in a example of how you could hang it. [In a finished garage; finished ceiling.] That way if you don't need this info you can skip it. Thanks, be safe and good luck in the woods. UPDATE: I've used this to hang a Doe. As I've stated above, I did a pull-up on this and I know I weigh more than my dressed out Doe. So zero issues holding up the deer. I really like this and it was very sturdy as I worked on my processing. You know how much pulling you do while skinning. It did great and made processing my own deer enjoyable and pretty simple. Very rewarding experience and I'm proud to be doing this myself. No complaints with this gambrel.

Bought for my FIL , worked great!

Nice little system. I purchased mine to use as a light duty hoist to aide in hoisting and holding a rooftop cargo box up to the ceiling of my garage. At that it performs splendidly. The cable brake system is nice and simple. It pinches the rope to hold it in place. This is not something I would set and expect to leave holding a load for an extended period of time. But it will definitely do the trick to hang on to the cable for a short while. I really like the included carabiner shackles that are present on both ends of the hoist. These clips have a notched but not quite locking gate. I expect they are up for the task. The gambrel attachment, while not anything for which I have a use, appears to be well made and capable of handling what a weekend hunter might throw at it. The only thing I find some cause to complain about are the pulley sheaves. There are two problems. First, these are constructed of plastic and are by no means the final word in terms of quality componentry. One of the sheaves on my unit has a small burr that looks like it might knick the rope and hasten its demise. I'll probably smooth it out with some high grit sandpaper and call it a day. Second, there is quite a bit of friction from the sheaves to their axel. This undoubtedly causes one to need more force when hoisting. But, what does one expect when we're twenty five bucks. All told I think it worth the price but definitely not something I'd expect to bequeath.

Parfait pour moi.

Works great

Well made heavy duty gambrel, works well, would recommend using gloves when lifting carcasses as rope is very thin and can burn your hands if your not careful. But I have recommended this product twice as good value for money.

Well made and worked like a charm.

Works as advertised.
