it looks like this may be the first use of the hoist. does the front hole show any signs of use? (ie. wear marks from the bolt)
my opinion is the tube has a flaw in the grain causing a freak weak spot.
I got mine from Sam's Club. I use it at work. I even made a longer boom insert to get to the end just above the wheels. at this length I had a full dressed BB going in a Topkick with no problems.
good luck, dont take any crap from them. settle for nothing less than a full refund. then go buy another one elsewhere.
