Our Story
A Category First
Our lay-flat winch and cargo carrier was designed to let you hunt, haul, and explore without limitation.
When You Want Something Done...
After Swift Lift founder Rudi Roeslein injured his shoulder, his longtime friend and farm manager Trevor Donahoo prototyped a device that would restore Rudi’s mobility and, most importantly, his independence.
At the time, nothing like the Swift Lift existed on the market. Front-facing carriers obstruct the driver’s view, and risk running over dropped cargo. And rear-mounted solutions still require the user to lift large amounts.
Our solution, now called the Swift Lift after the abundant Chimney Swifts at Rudi’s farm, adapts to fit most vehicles and allows a single hunter to load and transport a 300-pound kill unassisted.
After several iterations, many design tweaks, and ample field testing, the final product is proudly manufactured in Red Bud, Illinois.
Heavy Duty, Lightweight
Premium alloy aluminum construction means the only thing weighing you down is that buck in the back.
Fit and Function
Designed to fit most trucks, UTVs, and SUVs, our powerful winch has both tethered and wireless remotes for maximum flexibility in the field or on the farm.
The Swift Lift was designed for hunters, by hunters. We’ll continue to iterate and improve as new products and features roll out — and we want to hear from you. Have ideas, requests or feedback? Send us a note at info@swiftliftoutdoors.com.
