I have an already over crowed garage with two kids and lawn equipment the available real estate is precious. When my wife and I decided to get some Kayaks my only fear was where I was going to store them. The Hoist made it easy to store the Kayaks over the existing lawn equipment and toys. I have two of them side by side and we can still fit a car in on the other side of the garage. The whole install took about two hours, easy to read/follow instructions and all needed parts included.

I bought this hoist for my canoe which weighs 78lbs. There was no way for an average person to lift it. Some more expensive hoists have a mechanical advantage but this one you're pulling the entire weight on the rope. I thought I was going to rip the attachment from the studs or snap the rope. Unless you have a kayak or canoe that weighs under 40lbs don't buy this. I wasted my money so don't waste yours.

I had this up within minutes of receiving it... seriously, maybe 30 minutes. The ONLY problem was seeing how to run the rope through the brake. I got that part wrong the first try. My kayak is suspended safely above my expensive 2015 vehicle now, however, and I sleep soundly with no fears. MUCH easier and cheaper than trying to cobble something together at the hardware store! And yes, I looked at videos on how to do that before ordering. I'm very happy!!

the Kayak Hoist was relatively easy to mount on our garage ceiling. It lifts & lowers easily. I do not know how well it works under full weight as my kayak only weighs about 30 Lbs.. What I like best is that it frees up wall space, & allows me to lower my kayak onto my car inside the garage in preparation of going kayaking. Because we live near numerous lakes, this is extra nice. When I see "weather-window of opportunity," I can get to one of our lakes quickly, thanks in part to the hoist. Thank you Jesus!

The product works as it is intended quite well, except for for flaw. This flaw is that the straps want to slide right off my kayak. Perhaps different boats would work better. I simply used a cord of my own to put a tie between the lift hooks so they wouldn't slide off, now everything works great.
