Heco Lift System

The Heco lift system was used across multiple brands in two distinct forms. Please choose the section that matches your camper:
Heco Truck Camper Lift (pop-up truck campers) or Heco EZ-UP System (folding trailer system).

Which Heco System Do You Have?

Heco Truck Camper Lift: Used on pop-up truck campers. Roof raises with
external telescoping lift arms (rack-and-pinion style) that you operate with a hand crank. Typical parts include
lift arms, gear tracks, brackets, and related hardware.

Heco EZ-UP System (Trailer): Used on folding trailer campers. A manual mechanism assists the roof via
Heco lift arms and linkages designed specifically for EZ-UP System trailer installations. Typical parts include
EZ-UP arms, pivots, brackets, and service hardware.

Important Fitment Notes

Truck Camper vs. EZ-UP System parts are not interchangeable. Components are engineered for their specific system.
Verify your camper type (truck camper vs. trailer), crank location, and the presence of external lift arms before ordering.
Order only the items shown—availability varies by component and model year.

Repair Guide: Torsion bar removal/reinstallation and the factory parts list are in our HECO/Harmony Lift System Guide.

L&W repair guide

The post sits in the camper's corner wall pocket. The floor track and curved guide carry the push spring up inside it to lift the roof.

L&W lift post installed inside a pop-up camper wall A raised pop-up camper has its near sidewall and cabinet face cut away. The corner lift post runs from a pocket inside the body to the roof. A flexible push spring follows the floor track, curves upward at the corner, and enters the post. An elongated slotted drive slug lies inside the horizontal track behind the spring. A separate enlarged wall section shows the concealed parts. Numbered labels identify the installed components. 12345 SIDEWALL & CABINET FACE CUT AWAY The lift post continues down inside the camper body.

Recognize your lift post

Count every telescoping section, including the outer base.

2-stage
1Base

1 moving section
+ 1 base = 2 stages

3-stage
21Base

2 moving sections
+ 1 base = 3 stages

4-stage
321Base

3 moving sections
+ 1 base = 4 stages

Stage count identifies the type. Post length, mounting points, and camper details must also match. Do not raise a damaged lift system just to count sections.
