Pros & Cons
Pros
It is a cinch for one person to raise and lower the canopy on and off the truck. I can one arm this thing, raising or lowering, for a 90lb kayak filled with paddles, accessories. It does the job.
Highlights
Quality
Installation was easy to follow along with the directions provided
Too many bad reviews on the cheap hoists that may me keep searching for quality with good reviews
For the cost which is too much this should have included the hardware for the 2x6 support boards you need to screw into the ceiling studs
Excellent quality of all components very clear installation instruction
Price
Dinging it one star due to install complexity and cost

Just have an issue with the rope release mechanism that i havent figured out yet and i had to mount the rope about 45 degrees to the side so that i could lower the kayak to the floor because i didnt have enough distance as they explain in the instructions

I can one arm this thing raising or lowering for a 90 lb kayak filled with paddles accessories so from functional perspective is great once you get it installed

In picture if distance in blue is further than distance in red then the kayak will not drop down all the way to the floor

However i’ve discovered with constant use the cheaper assemblies break down and the contents of the kayak need to be removed
