As a result of the high price (which is excessive), this should have included the screws you need for the 2x6 support boards that must be screwed into the ceiling studs. It takes time to properly install it. As far as practicality is concerned, I can lift or lower this thing with one arm, raising or lowering a kayak weighing 90 lbs with paddles and accessories, so once I have it installed, it is great. Please note that if you are not going to lower this onto a car and instead are going to the floor, then you may not have enough room to adjust the straps higher, and it may need to be lowered only part of the way to the floor (acceptable for saw horses). It is presented in the picture that if the blue distance is more than the red distance, the kayak will not fall all the way to the ground. Due to the complexity and cost of installing it, I will dock it one star.
It should be kept high and dry when it is It's easy for one person to lift and lower the canopy onto and off of the truck. The installation process was easy to follow along with the instructions. Our budget allowed us to choose a "used" hoist and we were able to save One of the friends of our son came over the other day and was so impressed with our hoist that he was going to buy It is hard to go wrong with this hoist and we would definitely purchase again in the future!.
A good quality set of components with very clear instruction on how to install. It has a rope release mechanism that I haven't been able to figure out yet, and I had to mount the rope about 45 degrees to the side so I could lower the kayak to the floor since I did not have enough distance, as the instructions state. Apparently, there is a method for tying the rope to the side wall, which I may try. It was the 200 lb. bag that I decided to get. I need a hoist with a capacity of 80 pounds. Though I could have rented a kayak for the same price, I decided to spend the extra $. I keep looking for quality hoists with good reviews because there are too many negative comments on the cheap hoists. What I think the 8 are One mechanical advantage is very valuable, the kayak stands up with little effort, and I did not want to struggle with it as I grow The second one I bought, I waited until after the first one was installed to determine if I liked it or not.
Due to the fact that the model that is sold for Jeeps is only rated to 145 lbs, I bought this for my TJ Unlimited hardtop. The program does what it is supposed to do. It was a mistake to span the boards over five instead of seven joists as recommended. As a safety backup to the hook on the wall, I used a secondary hook for the purpose of comfort. it works fine.
Especially when it comes to extending the block and tackle component, the instructions could be clearer. Orienting the riser board cross grain is also recommended since I split the board in half, causing the front of my truck cap to come 3 feet to rest against Aside from the scratches and bruises, I was likely to have lost my cap for $2000. As of now, the board is holding after I installed a new one and rotated it 90 degrees. I am installing cargo straps as an additional safety measure since my confidence in the boat has been Likewise, 8 and 9 There is one mechanical advantage to Liability insurance is the cause of the excessive price, in my opinion.
Installation is simple, and lifting it is simple as well. A nice feature is that you can store your canopy on the garage ceiling out of the way.
This is a very small item! What was in the box was worth a lot of money to me. It was sent to you right away.
