Works but watch for issues. 2017-01-19 17:34:33

I purchased this product with the idea of saving space storing my kayak. The system certainly works but there are a few things you should be aware of.I had an issue with insufficient height and cross beams fowling the rope. Pros Cheap good storage solution. Excellent rope lock.Cons Thin rope tends to hurt your hands and you need a bit of strength to raise your kayak. You need a fairly decent roof height or as in my case the kayak was about 5cm above the car. Cross beams in my roofing fowled the rope so I had to design and build a blocking system to over come this consequently it took me 11 hours to install the hoist. I found I had to buy wall racks and the hoist just sits there doing nothing.Overall the system works but make sure you have a very good ceiling height to work with. The lock on the rope is excellent but it does take some effort to raise your kayak.Would only recommend if your garage had a high roof.
