Question 1

what is the exact height of the item once its ensembled and the length of the mechanical arm?

Accepted Answer

Top of arm fully extended is 87". Hook sits about 74.5".  Point of elbow 69".  Top of base swivel point 30"

Question 2

this mounts to the side of the truck. can it be adjusted to slide over on the mount so it would pivot from the center of the truck?

Accepted Answer

The  beam you see that is attached to the hitch can be slid back and forth easily. The only problem you might have to solve is getting clearance for the legs under the crane. As designed, it easily loads items into the center of the truck bed, and can be moved out toload into the edge of the bed. It pretty much covers it all. If you want to mount in the actual center of the bed, you need the "pick-up"style crane that has a flat mount plate to bolt to the truck floor.

Question 3

If I had a cap on the truck would I have an with issue with the arm hitting the cap door to get a generator on the tailgate/bed?

Accepted Answer

No, but you would need to set the generator on the tailgate and push it the rest of the way in.

Question 4

Can i load/unload my 5th wheel hitch?

Accepted Answer

I think you could pick it up and get it on top of your tailgate and partially into the truck bed, if the hitch doesn't exceed the max lift capacity of the lift, ie 1000 lbs for the short and 500 lbs. for the longer extension.  It will not set the hitch squarely into the middle of your truck bed.  The extension is not long enough to do that.  You'd have to slide it in from the open end of the bed.  I use mine primarily to lift a heavy generator into my truck bed.  HOpe this helps.
