TJ that’s so cool I’m going to try building it in my garage that’s a space saver thanks again!

Completely awesome application of ingenuity! My Daughter and her husband have a similar lift in their garage, but it's for hoisting things (Christmas decorations, etc.) up into the attic. Instead of the 2 boards, it has more of a big one piece "basket", and the bottom of the basket matches the ceiling in the garage. The hoist lifts the load up into the attic and stops when the bottom of the basket is flush with the ceiling below it. It made me wish my attic was as big as theirs and suitable for use as storage space!

Great setup and video. Will be installing one of these into my new house shortly. I will have a rooftop tent and two kayaks that I need to store so if there was only a way to share the wench with two different platforms, ie. one for the rooftop tent and one for the kayak so you didn’t have to buy two wenches. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

Very nice ingenious lift. I'm looking at a roof top tent and I didn't want to have to ask my neighbor to help me take it off or put it on the top of the truck, since I probably won't use it maybe 2 or 3 times a year, because who wants to leave it on year round.

TJ - this is awesome. I am new to Yaking, and have struggled to find a good solid lift/storage system. This answers many of questions and concerns. I don't have to worry about my Yak falling on anything but floor, so that is a bonus. I love the idea, and I have seen many varieties on KZfaq. I started with a plain pulley system, being a disabled Vet, that didn't work very well for me physically. So I got a hoist from HF, and now want to rig my pulleys, to the hoist, etc. One question I do have, if you would answer, is How do you determine the amount of travel needed to raise and lower to desired height? My garage has a low ceiling and no attic above, so I will be lagging everything into joists. I want to mount the hoist by the garage door opener as it has an outlet there, I can use and keeps me out from under or beside the Yak when raising and lowering. Once my system is up I think I will post a video on it as well, and do the more in depth stuff. It is hard to find a video with that kind of detail. Great job young man. New subscriber here. Enjoy you vidz, etc. Semper Fi! Rich

@KayakUSA1 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the support! As for the distance of travel, I just measured how far I needed to lift up from my truck bed to the ceiling. As long as your winch is at least that distance or more away from the first set of pulleys , you will be fine. Thanks again 🤙🏼🇺🇸

This is awesome!! How did you go about securing the 4 wire rope lines? Did you clip wires together..or use separate wire rope clamps and rope thimble for each cable? Sorry if I missed something and will watch for a 3rd time tonight:)

@darylwchan 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this. I'm trying to design a kayak storage system like this but moveable so I can slide it about 4 feet sideways away from the garage door tacks. My question is, is it ok to store the kayak right side up on the boards like that? The Hobie manuals suggest upside down unless you use the $300 Hobie cradle set.

I’ve never had an issue but upside down is the best way for long time storage. 👍🏼

Use a hoist instead. Winches are designed for pulling not lifting, the braking system is very different.

@KayakUSA1 3 жыл бұрын

That’s very true, but the winch works in this configuration as it should. In the way I have it set up, it’s pulling not lifting. 👍🏼

@yauck1 3 жыл бұрын

@@KayakUSA1 I am fairly new in the game, but I think the way you set up is still considered as lifting. To me, pulling means during the operation you can take a break, and rest the load on the ground - like dragging something on the ground. Lifting means you can't let go the cable during the operation, otherwise the load will drop. Cheers.
