Comes equipped with an easy to use rope/pulley mechanism that's safe for one person to operate.
The canoe and kayak hoist systems are available in a choice of different designs - some of the models on offer are intended to hold the single kayak, with a weight capacity at 120lbs to the
vertical stacking hoists that accommodate multiple kayaks, and able to hold 300lbs in weight.
The manual hoist systems are designed to be easy to install - with installation taking 15 to 30 minutes or more. This depends on finding a clear ceiling spot and having the right do-it-yourself skills. Either fix the mounts into the ceiling studs or use surface mounts on a finished ceiling.
A much easier way to raise or lower the canoe is that of the motorized electric hoist models - to
give that push bottom operation. A more costly option to the manual hoist, but it does eliminate the need to used own strength to lift and lower.
Also, it become a simple task to load that cumbersome kayak onto the roof of the truck; just back the truck until its beneath the kayak, and than gentle let it down in place with the ropes or pulleys.
The kayak hoist saves space and is easy to use, thus making the ideal storage solution for the already crowded or cluttered garage. And also suited to storing bicycles, ladders, tires, sport equipment and other such kit that's often stored in the garage or workshop.
