Anyone use a EZ bed unloader

Was wondering if anyone has used one and think its any good? 

 

I can see you still have to get the material out by hand that is not on the mat.

I have always been skeptical of those. Hopefully someone has some practical experience to share.

It will only work with payloads that are light weight. Anything heavy, forget it...

A friend had a load of wood chips and attempted to use it. No good. He ripped it off and threw it out.

So, yes and mostly no. It depends how heavy the load is. Check to see if there is a recommended weight limit and see if that suits your needs. 

I'm thinking, you have a pickup that can carry a lot of weight back there, so why limit your capacity with a flimsy device? 

What I normally do is spread a large tarp over the bed, sides, tailgate and the back of the cab. Then I have the supply guy dump his load into the bed onto the tarp. This protects the paint and adds an easy final cleanup of the bed after shovelling most of the payload out by hand. It's really not that much work or time consuming to shovel it out.
