I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Kayak Hoist Deluxe

Kayak Hoist Deluxe

Description

Easily store your kayak, bike, canoe, or ladder overhead and out of the way with the Kayak Storage Hoist by Rad Sportz. Smooth pulleys and latches make lifting heavy items a snap, while the exclusive rope locking mechanism prevents unwanted release and can suspend up to 125-pounds. Please note, you can mount this item as pictured on a 2 X 4 and screw the 2 X 4 to the joist or mount it right to the joist itself. The ceiling storage hoist is ideal for creating storage in your garage or shed, which we ensure by applying a rigorous quality control process. Look for our logo on the packaging for every one of our products.

Tired of your canoes and kayaks taking up all your free space in the garage? Turn to the Rad Sportz kayak/canoe lift hoist, which stores your boat overhead and out of the way. The hoist is equipped with a smooth pulley, latch, and hook system, which let you easily lift products as heavy as 100 pounds. Just attach the pulleys to a ceiling joist, secure the boat with the straps and hooks, and lift. The exclusive rope locking mechanism will keep your kayak or canoe safely suspended above the ground, so you needn't worry about accidentally dropping the boat in mid-lift. Plus, the hooks are rubber coated to protect your gear from scratches and scuffs. Designed for ceilings up to 12 feet tall, the hoist also works with items like bicycles, ladders, and cargo boxes.

The kayak ceiling hoist easily lifts and stores any style bicycle, ladder, or kayak up to 125lbs overhead. The kayak hanger for garage can accommodate many sizes of kayaks for convenient storage in your garage or shed.

The heavy-gauge bike hoist for garage ceiling comes with plenty of premium rope for use on ceilings up to 12-feet-tall and can be mounted either parallel or perpendicular to your joists for your convenience.

Designed with an innovative automatic locking brake that pinches the rope with every pull, the canoe hoist allows one person to raise the cargo themselves. A wall cleat is provided to tie off excess rope after lifting your load.

This kayak pulley system for garage helps you declutter your shed, and the kayak storage hooks are designed with a rubber coating to protect your kayaks, canoes, or personal watercrafts from scratches.

Materials: Rubber, Rope, and Metal. Dimensions: (L) 14' x (W) 12.75' x (H) 10'. Weight Capacity: 125lbs. Comes with 1 Bike Hoist, a Cleat to Attach to Wall or Ceiling, and Mounting Hardware. Color: Black.

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 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 too close to the garage door. But when I had it on it attached, the Kayak was 16 inch gap.

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.

I need a set for the same purpose, to hoist a Yakima Skybox 18. Did u confirm if these straps are long enough and hoist system worked for your Yakima box? Thx!

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?

Things we like

  • A safety locking mechanism eliminates the possibility of accidental release.
  • Components made of heavy-duty materials and straps that are adjustable and come with built-in loops
  • The kayak's hull is protected by the rubber covering on the hooks.
  • Installing and using on ceilings up to 12 feet high is somewhat simple.

Things we don't like

  • The capacity is not high enough to accept kayaks that weigh more than a certain threshold.
  • It tends to sit a little bit low and won't leave much space on lower ceilings.

How tight to the ceiling can you get a kayak?

Is any other products like this that is better

How long are the straps? Would they go around a Yakima Skybox?

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
