Kayak / Canoe Lift Hoist by RAD Sportz |
Install a canoe hoist and take back some of your garage. When you store something as big and bulky as canoe or kayak, options can be limited and inefficient and the process can be frustrating.
Canoes and kayaks gobble up floor space, are often tripping hazards, and force you to park outside. Using garage ceiling storage space more efficiently is an effective solution.
Benefits of a Canoe Hoist
Virtually all canoe and kayak hoists
- Fairly easy installation
- Design flexibility to suit garage ceilings of varying heights
- Bulky items like canoes and kayaks can be stored up and off the floor
- Hoists can be used to store ladders and other items on the garage ceiling
- Weight limits go as high as 250 pounds or more
- Relatively inexpensive garage ceiling storage system
A Canoe Hoist is Easy to Install and Use
Most canoe and kayak hoists require only basic tools and "handyman" skills for installation and can be mounted directly to ceiling joists in your garage. For greater installation flexibility, 2X4 or 2X6 lumber can first be attached to the garage ceiling, allowing the hoist to be attached to the 2X material.
Flexible and Inexpensive Design
Nearly all canoe hoists use a basic rope and pulley design to lift your canoe or kayak to the garage ceiling. Simple design equals reasonable pricing to fit most budgets.
Most hoist designs can be used to lift and store canoes, kayaks and ladders. Others like the Heavy Lift Garage Storage system from Racor can store heavy boxes, seasonal clothing, recreation equipment, tires and more. As the name implies, the Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift
Prices vary from $15 to more than $150, depending on the type, model, capacity, etc. Be sure to read product details for more than one model
More Garage Organization Systems
From canoes to kayaks, truck canopies to rooftop cargo boxes, bicycles to ATVs and even cars, you might be surprised at what you can store with an electronically or manually operated hoist or lift. A Racor Heavy Lift Garage Storage system can lift and store up to 250 pounds up and out of the way. A few of the other common garage storage solutions include garage shelves, garage storage cabinets, workbenches and tool boxes
Do you have space in the attic? Try an attic ladder or garage loft ladder to further expand the storage capacity of your garage. Finish your garage organization project first and throw out or give away everything you don't need. Once you know what you want to keep, focus on installing proper garage organization systems to store things so you can find them when you need them.
