I'm turning the garage into a workshop and 2 kayaks will hang from the ceiling

Wondering what people are using, the harken looks good but hard to say from looking online

There will be no place for a car so will have to carry yaks in

I'm cheap, so I used a harbor freight bike hoist $8?

Changed out the rope because the stuff it came with seemed cheap or soft?

Made my own straps/harness to distribute the load....even experimented with using a sling made out of a moving blanket, but I needed the kayak as snug as possible because of the garage door.

No real complaints. It still works. The kayak needs a little guidance when lowering or one end will want to come down before the other.


Mounted to a 2x4 for horizontal action.


Test fitting.


Harness made and operational.


Experimental moving blanket sling.

Hey thanks for the tips

No rafters in our garage so I'll have to figure out which rig will get it closest to the ceiling

Will probably end up making my own version
