It works but needs extra hardware for mounting For the price this is a perfectly fine way to hang stuff in the garage. We used it to hang a rooftop luggage carrier. The straps were just long enough to go around our carrier and it is holding it now above headheight and out of the way. Mounting it required a trip to the hardware store to buy a 2x4 lag screws and washers to attach the 2x4 to the studs in the ceiling and wood screws to attach the pulley's brackets to the 2x4. The instructions are pretty much useless as other reviewers have said. The tricky part is figuring out how to thread the ropes through the pulley system the photo that comes with the instructions actually shows the ropes going over the braking mechanism which is wrong. However if you look at the mechanism closely it's pretty easy to figure out how the ropes are supposed to go so that the braking bracket will press against them and hold them in place when there is weight on the pulleys. I have uploaded a picture that shows the pulley and ropes in action. Indeed the pulleys and the braking mechanism work just fine so that with the carrier hanging below the pulleys the brakes keep the ropes from slipping and the tieoff on the wall is not under much tension at all. The quality of the ropes isn't great but they're sufficient for the task it appears. It took us longer to install and hang the whole thing than we had anticipated due to the trip to the hardware store and a little confusion over the ropes. It also required a little extra attention when actually hoisting the carrier because the ropes slip off their tracks in the pulleys pretty easily. But it is now doing exactly what we purchased it for and seems like a perfectly fine product.
no instructions and bolts missing in 2 out of 3 boxes I bought This product seems stong but had no instructions and no mounting hardware in 2 of my 3 boxes.
Great Value I did considerable research looking for a product suitable for my purpose which was elevating my new kayak in a dedicated storage area. The item purchased through Amazon more than met all my expectations and was priced less than 1/2 what I found elsewhere. I found it significant that my purchase through Amazon was IDENTICAL in most if not all respects to the alternatives I found elsewhere which without exception were VERY significantly more expensive.
Good for the price We use this harness to hang our kayak above our car in the garage. So we obviously trust it's mechanisms. It's gotten stuck a few times but I'm not sure if that's usererror. One thing the thick straps are quite long so even when the hooks are at the top of the pulley system the kayak is hanging about 4 feet below. I thought about buying new straps from a vinyl company but I haven't made the effort. All in all it does what it's supposed to as long as you can handle it being 4 feet below your hanging mechanism. I haven't seen much wearandtear on the rope but we don't pull our kayak down frequently.
Ok for the price Per previous reviews instructions suck. A bit of experimentation worked out the rope routing and the rest can be rigged. Short 2 screws and some included that I have no clue what they are for. The biggest problem for me is that the straps are NOT adjustable they are sewn at one length. will figure out a way to shorten them but since the description says they are adjustable and that's why I ordered this particular model its a bit disappointing.
Kayak/Canoe storage lift Purchased this lift to store my 14' kayak in my garage. Delivery was very fast right to my door. Instructions were good and the installation was a snap. Just for additional information the bottom of my kayak sits 40 1/2 below the ceilingthe highest it will go.
Easy to install and works great. This is great product it is easy to install and it has a break so you only need one person to operate and can stop and go any time. One piece of warning. The straps that hold the kayak require about 20 inches of space. Adding to that the space requirements of the brakets your kayak will be about 3 feet from the ceiling. Make sure you have enough space. I had to shorten the staps and now have 6' 4'' to walk under the kayaks and park a minivan. It was cloose.
Not Quality The instructions are garbage. The grammar is completely incorrect as if it were translated from another language by a computer and unclear. You will have to just sit down and figure out how the system works and how it is mounted. The hardware included is insufficient to install the system. There were only 2 lags screws with my kit you'll need 4.On the positive side for $20 you can go to the hardware store buy more lag screws and figure out how it works.
Three things The only instruction you get for weaving the rope through the pulleys and lock is the picture you see of the product above which is wrong. I came across the following link that shows the correct way [] .The product description is a lie This premium quality hoist comes with fully adjustable straps so your kayak does not hang down like the cheaper inferior products on the market. No they're very long and not adjustable just like others have mentioned.The whole concept of just hanging from straps does not work well for my NuCanoe because the straps just slide off both ends of the canoe I'm forced to improvise. A hammock type sling would have been better.
It works but please read this before you buy I purchased this to store my tandem Hobie Mirage kayak in my garage. My kayak weighs about 70 pounds and it does require a good amount of effort to hoist it up. If you have a heavy kayak like me be prepared to get your muscles warmed up and roll up your sleeves when raising it.Like so many others reviewing this product I definitely agree that the instructions provided leave much to be desired. It comes with different screws and bolts that you will have no idea what they are for.
