Review on Harken - Overhead Garage Storage Hoist for Cargo Box, Self-Leveling & Safe Anti-Drop System, Simple One-Person Operation, Smart Organization for Garage by Alex Pollard

Plan support board attachments regardless of joist orientation - as long as you follow the instructions. (See photo) While the description I've seen specifically lists cargo boxes (which was my search when I found these), the instructions focus on canoes and the like. It might be better for a big and heavy canoe or sea kayak, but I think it's too much work and too expensive for a cargo box.
