Review on Kayak Hoist Lift: Garage Ceiling Mount with 2 Pulley System - Heavy-Duty 125 Pound Capacity - Ideal for Bicycle, Paddleboard, Canoe, and Ladder Storage Tool by Steven Adams

Posted this yesterday: All other comments are encouraged here. I had to screw some 2x8 pieces to the joists because they go the wrong way in my garage. Don't skimp on attaching the wheels to whatever is above, especially the wheel on the "brake side" because when it comes time to lift the kayak, it will take a STRONG effort to lift it. This is not a "block and catch" setup - there are no mechanical advantages to these pulleys. Essentially, you deadlift by pulling hard on a pair of ropes. The 80-pound kayak was, um, eye-catching. I can't imagine what 125 pounds (capacity) will be like. I can get a Lowes or HD hand winch to screw it to the wall and flip it, although it has to be lowered manually due to how the brake works. The rope seems a little sketchy - and I should also note that the success or failure of your gravity-defying efforts depends on your ability to tie knots: the rope must be tied to bolts that pass through the pulley mounts , and when the knot unties, the load is in free fall on that sheave. I'll probably be replacing the rope soon, and since it's bonded to the threaded stud (i.e. indented into the edges of the thread) I'll be looking for a smooth sleeve to attach the stud to.
