Thern WorkMate Portable Hitch-Mounted Davit Crane Base

Take lifting capability wherever the job demands with the Thern WorkMate® 5BH5, a rugged, portable hitch-mounted crane base engineered for professionals who need dependable lifting in remote locations, job sites, farms, utilities, and industrial environments. Designed to fit a standard 2-inch vehicle receiver, the WorkMate transforms your truck into a versatile mobile lifting station, providing a secure foundation for compatible Thern davit cranes with lifting capacities up to 850 lbs (385 kg). Built for fast deployment, the WorkMate assembles from three primary components without the need for tools or additional equipment. Its modular design allows installation directly behind your vehicle or at a right angle to the hitch, giving operators greater flexibility when lifting, lowering, pulling, or positioning loads in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The heavy-duty telescoping support legs feature pivoting feet that maintain stable ground contact across uneven terrain, while the integrated leveling jack provides additional support and height adjustment to accommodate different vehicle receiver heights. A built-in rotation stop helps control crane movement for safer load handling, and the central carry handle makes transporting and positioning the base quick and convenient. Compatible with the Thern First Mate® (5PF5), Commander® (5PT5), and Ensign® (5PA5) crane series, the WorkMate offers a flexible solution for a wide variety of lifting applications, including equipment handling, maintenance, service vehicles, construction, utilities, and material loading.
