Happijac Alternatives for Bed Lifts
Hey everyone.
I was looking for some advice and recommendations from experienced people here.
I'm currently working on designing a box truck conversion for an Isuzu NRR. I'm currently looking into bed lifts. Happijac seems to be the go-to.
I'm a bigger guy, 6'5", 250ish pounds. If I've got a partner in bed with me that weighs 200 pounds also, that's 450. Since the box truck is large, if we ended up wanting a king size bed, that's adding \~80 more pounds, plus a bed frame adds some not-insignificant weight.... We're looking at a situation that nearly or possibly surpasses the maximum weight capacity of the happijac.
I don't like being close to maximum capacities. As a bigger guy, I've had plenty of things that "should have" been fine collapse under me, so I've got some trouble trusting numbers like these, and I'd like to get something that will work more effectively as a bed lift. The last thing I want is my bed to collapse with me and my wife in it, possibly onto our cats or a guest. That would be horrifying.
I can't find much aside from DIY things, which is fine with me, I'd just like to know what's been done and seems to work, if anyone has any suggestions. I appreciate you taking the time to read this post, and for taking the time to respond if you do so. Your time and energy helping out a stranger means a lot to me. Have a great day.
