## Description

desertcart.com : Kayak Storage Hoist - Overhead Pulley System with 125lb Capacity for Canoes, Bikes, Ladders, and More - for up to 12-Foot Ceilings by Rad Sportz : Boat Storage : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Works great and can't beat the price. - Can't beat it for the money. I bought this as a way to remove/store my rooftop cargo box on my Volvo and it's just what I needed. Took me an hour to install and then just a few minutes to remove my cargo box. I agree with other reviews that the rope isn't super high quality, but for my use it is fine. I think I would replace it if I were using often, but for me this will be a couple time a year. Pulleys and hardware are nice and the brake mechanism is simple, clever, and works well. I did deviate from the instructions in that I didn't use a mounting board, but just lagged the mounts into the garage ceiling framing and that worked fine and looked better. I had planned to DIY it by finding pulleys and mounts on my own, but at this price it made no sense and this saved me so much time. (I'm an engineer which means I tend to overthink these sorts of contraptions.) Very happy with this and highly recommend it.
Review: Good product for the price - This is a very good kayak storage hoist. Easy assemble, great directions and illustrations. Works great

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How tight to the ceiling can you get a kayak?**
A: I used the hoist to hold up Costco Kayaks.  I put the straps at the widest point.  That will make it 22 inches.  I also used the same product and didn't used the hooks provided to hold a a ladder.  This makes it 12 inches from the top of the ceiling to the ladder.  I was going to use kayaks in this area, but it was to close to the garage door.  But when I had it on it attached, the Kayak was 16 inch gap.

**Q: Is any other products like this that is better**
A: ? This one is better than the Atwood one. I bought both. Although I prefer the rope that comes with the Atwood one, the Rad is heavier duty and better built in general.

**Q: Are the pulley wheels plastic or metal?  It looks similar to a Harbor Freight bike hoist that I have.  I am looking for something more heavy duty**
A: There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the wheels being plastic. I have a block and tackle set that's made of ludicrously durable plastic and that asserts a 1800 lb. upper limit (which I entirely believe. Heck, search YouTube for "using LEGO to tear steel"). 
No, the question you SHOULD be asking is, "what sort of pot metal are the pins, brackets, anchors, and other fasteners made out of/rated for?"
Realistically, if there are two anchor points, each should be rated for a minimum of 1000 lbs (125 limit * 2 anchors * 4 (minimum dynamic load safety margin, should one anchor catastrophically fail). If one of those goes while laden, well, ever read the Pit and the Pendulum?

**Q: Where do I find replacement cording?**
A: Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

This is a very good kayak storage hoist. Easy assemble, great directions and illustrations. Works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Hoist
*by R***V on October 6, 2010*

The hoist works quite well. You raise or lower each end of your boat with separate ropes, and can easily raise or lower it evenly. However the force required to lift is substantial for my 60 pound roof top cargo box. A smaller person might find it difficult to lift a 100 lb.+ canoe or kayak. The Brake System works very well and prevents sudden, uncontrolled drops should you lose control of the ropes. Overall this hoist is easy to operate. The suspension straps provided use a plastic snap together buckle (like on a backpack waist strap). This seems dangerous. I don't believe those types of buckles are intended to be load bearing. It's the weak link in this hoist. I'm going to replace mine with cargo straps that come with a proper load bearing rating. Installation was easy, I screwed the pulley blocks into a stud that I located in the ceiling by following a line of nails driven through the sheet rock. Drilled a pilot hole for the wood screws to verify I was going into solid wood (very important); the kit's wood screws have bolt heads so you'll need a socket and ratchet, it takes some considerable force, they are sizable screws (that's good- you're hanging a lot of weight off these things). The instructions require you space the pulley blocks a minimum 6 feet apart. That wasn't an option for me given the spacing of storage racks, the garage door, and furnace ducts. So I set mine at 5 feet apart and I'm not having any problems- it operates fine- you should have no worries ignoring this rule if you have a short kayak. Threading the rope through the pulley blocks and tackle is easy; they give you a drawing to show how. But securing the 2 loose rope ends onto each pulley block is not so easy. They want you tie those rope ends around one of the horizontal bolts that attach each of the pulley blocks to the mounting plates. Problem is you've already bolted it together, it's screwed into the ceiling, and you don't have a lot of room to work with to make some fancy knot (they don't supply a diagram of what type of knot to use). You'll see what I mean when you do it yourself. So I simply ran the rope ends through the hole in the block and tied a simple double knot that prevents the rope from slipping back through the hole. Seems to work just fine. I recommend you test your installation by suspending your boat just a few inches off the ground for several days before lifting the boat up high into its storage position. Check to make sure the pulley blocks aren't pulling loose from the ceiling, and tug on the ropes suspending your boat to further ensure those pulley blocks won't rip loose. You will note the ropes stretch, your boat will drop about a half inch in the first 24 hours. Aside from the strap buckles being poor quality, I would have given this 5 stars. It's a slick product that optimizes precious floor space in your garage.
