With a serious back injury making heavy lifting a challenge, I decided it was time to fit a hydraulic hoist to my Isuzu Rodeo Ute In this video I install and test a folding hydraulic crane capable of lifting everything from engines and generators to quad bikes and machinery parts. This simple upgrade is already proving invaluable and should help keep projects moving while I recover and wait for spinal surgery. Thanks for watching!

I've got a lot of respect for someone that overcomes adversity with ingenuity. Very nice.
I thought for a second you were going to lift the chicken with it.
Really glad to have you back!!
Well done Marty, think smart will save the pain and a better road to healing !!!👍
Broke my back 30 years ago, I was an aircraft mechanic at major airline . Had two discs removed and fusion . Continued working for the remained of my life . Now retired and chugging along . Hope and pray for your fast recovery . You and simonfordman are my favorite YouTubers . Feel free to contact me directly if you have and questions about life after major back surgery
Those little cranes come in super handy even when you have a good back.
Nice addition to your tool lineup, Marty! Take care of yourself and your lovely family.
Bro wakes up and just does stuff, incredible
Your still an amazing person as I've always been interested in your videos from quite a ways back. Hope you can get the help with doctors and get on the mend.
Outstanding Marty. Just goes to show, you can't keep a good man down.
Marty! It's you, you're back!
Good to see Marty back in the workshop doing what he does best! 💪
I am so glad you are recovering from your broken back. When you stopped posting videos, I worried about yuu fearing something bad had happened, and I was right. I wish you a full recovery. Your videos are an inspiration, and your skills are amazing. Keep up the good work. I am Jeff from South Dakota, USA.
Fantastic to see you back in action mate. A great idea for the Ute will save you a lot of stress loading and unloading. Keep up the great videos.
Love to see you back buddy. I had a plate put in my neck last year so I feel you. It’ll be 1 year in two days. Feel a lot better with time and you will too!
Marty-glad to hear the inversion table helps a bit! 🎉great to see you up and doing.
Nice to see a proper install - well-thought out as usual! You could fashion a little nylon strap basket sling out of old seat belts for those oddly shaped things. From a fellow fusion patient - keep on the exercises and frequent walks with Doggo - It's just a bump in the road, mate, and you've got thousands sending good vibes your way! Thanks for the video!!!!
Dreadful situation with your injury. Sorry to hear, hope you are well set to survive it. Also dreadful about the healthcare issues. Always have your videos at the top of the must watch list. Please take care and recover as you can.
Even without an injury, that's a great addition to a work truck! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Very nice to have you back
