This storage system is designed to accommodate all widths and lengths of canoes up to 60 lbs, thanks to its adjustable straps.

If you're looking to get organized and save space, this ceiling pulley rack is the perfect solution. You can hang and store your canoes in your overhead space, freeing up valuable floor space in your home or garage.

The Hi-Lift Pro System of this hoist ensures that your canoes are held tightly in place. It includes a center connecting strap that keeps your gear securely in place. The PRO version also features higher-strength loading straps for added durability.

Installing this storage system is quick and easy, thanks to the included instructions and mounting hardware. It's ideal for both home and garage storage.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions about this product:

How close can you get the canoe to the ceiling using this mount?

I would say you can get it to about 2-3 feet. The issue is that you need access to the locking pulley - it works like a shade/curtain pull. It unlocks when you pull straight down and locks when you hold it away at an angle. The closer the canoe gets to that pulley/locking mechanism the harder it is to lock/unlock.

I have a high pitched sloped ceiling in my garage. It looks like this won't work and is only intended for flat ceilings?

This storage system can be adapted to some slope by using different rope lengths. However, it is best suited for flat ceilings.

Could the ceiling mounts be attached to ceilings of two different heights? Front of garage has high ceiling, halfway in is a loft that is lower.

In order to mount the ceiling brackets at different heights, you would need to measure the difference and ensure that the rope connecting the two points does not come in contact with the edge of the ceiling. Friction between the rope and the edge of the ceiling can cause the rope to fray and make the lift more difficult to operate.

The installation says that the mounting brackets need two Lag screws. My studs are at right angles to the bracket. Will one screw be enough?

No, you need both screws to properly mount this system. If your studs are at right angles to the brackets and hoist system, you would need to mount a board (a 2 x 4) to your joists and then mount the hoist system to that board. The normal installation for this system is to one joist, not two. If you need further assistance with setting it up across two beams/joists, please contact us directly for personalized help.
