Review: Lifts my 11# Kayak to the ceiling rafters. - We recently purchased a Hobie Oasis twin (2016 model) kayak with Mirage drive. This is a wonderful kayak, but it is heavy and pretty big for a kayak. It weighs over 100 pounds and is about 14' long. Further, our main kayak carrying vehicle is a 2006 Honda Odyssey van, which is pretty tall in our modest two car garage. Because of the height of the cross beams in the garage (about 9') we needed to lift the heavy kayak as close to the beams as possible. After searching and sifting through the many options on desertcart and other places online, i settled on the Harken four point hoisters as the way to go. They work for my purpose in several ways: 1. Sufficient weight capacity and pulley reduction to make lifting and storing over 110 pounds of kayak a safe and reasonable task. 2. The four point pulley system gets the kayak as close to the beams in my garage as possible - I only lose a couple inches of space between the beams and the top of the kayak. 3. The system comes in various sizes in both weight capacity and height from the floor. I did puzzle over the very high price relative to other hoist systems, but ended up deciding that the ready-to-use kit was the way to go, especially after seeing users with almost exactly my needs praising it. I have to say, it is worth it me since, although I am a pretty handy guy, I can't see myself gathering the hardware that goes into this kit. This is especially true of the "organizer" and the main pulley that has the locking cam in it. All the pieces are of high quality and the unit is well thought out. I have included a photo of the opened, but still boxed, kit. The unit is not for the un-handy to install. If you struggle with IKEA furniture, for instance, you are gonna fail with this even though the instructions are better. I found the instructions to be good enough for me, but even then, had to take a few minutes to make sure I understood them a couple of times. All that said, it installed fine, works well, and I have attached a photo with the kayak hoisted to the beams in our garage. We've used it several times and it's great. If you have an expensive, heavy kayak or canoe like ours, do to hesitate to get the Harken Hoister. It's the best.
Review: Good Product | Great Value | TOUGH Installation! - I am using this to store my Yakima Skybox. It works very well for this purpose. Overall, I'm happy with the product (especially considering the price). Instructions were fairly clear, though I did have to read them about ten times before it really clicked. I consider myself to be marginally competent in the DIY-space, and I found this system pretty challenging to install correctly the first time. Someone with little-to-no experience would be wise to just hire a handyman or recruit capable friend(s) to set this up. I have a decent collection of tools, and I employed quite a few to get the job done. ...in addition to the included hardware, you will also need: [10] 3-1/2" lag bolts, a couple 2x6s or 2x4s, a decent drill w/ various drill+hex bits, an impact drill, a stud-finder, a ladder or stool, a chalk-line, measuring tape, dock cleat (or similar rope tie-off hardware), potentially a skillsaw or handsaw

## Features

- COMPATIBLE WITH ANY KAYAK, CANOE, AND PADDLE BOARD: Designed to safely and easily store your watercraft while organizing your garage
- EASY ONE-PERSON OPERATION: Designed for easy installation by a single person, this system comes with illustrated instructions and an installation video for hassle-free setup. Simply park underneath the installed hoist, secure the load, and lift
- AVAILABLE IN THREE LENGTHS: Choose from a 10, 12, or 16 foot model based on your floor-to-ceiling garage height; Please review lift load details for maximum weight ranges
- SAFE HOIST DESIGN WITH ANTI-DROP SYSTEM: Self-locking cleat grips instantly to prevent accidental release if the rope is dropped. Patented system lifts the load evenly regardless of weight distribution
- QUALITY MANUFACTURING WITH 5- YEAR WARRANTY: Made in the USA with high- quality stainless- steel hardware and double braided rope provide durability. Ball bearing pulleys keep the system running smoothly. 60 years of innovation

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi - is this part # 7802B.12? Thanks.**
A: yes. mine was 25 - 90 pound load, height of 12 foot

**Q: Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the manual? I lost mine**
A: No way to contact this company for information, warranty etc. Manual says contact dealer for questions, I'm not thinking Amazon is going to be much help.  
I ordered one for a cargo box but the the box says watercraft?  And BTW why isn't the manual for each model on the Harken site.  Bad service for the price

**Q: how does it works with jeep tops?**
A: The hoist works great with the Jeep.  I have a 2012 2-door, and it only takes about 10- to 15-lbs. of force to lift the top off.  My 8-year old son is able to lift the top.

**Q: Any evidence of creep failure or stretching in the rope or straps?  Rope material?  "Double braided rope" is vague.**
A: No creep or stretch. Seems very solid polyester or nylon rope. All parts should hold up well even if you exceed the load limit by a significant margin. And then I’d expect the mechanical parts to fail before the ropes / straps. It’s super easy to hoist a kayak, cargobox or other item and I’ve not seen any creep with our kayaks hanging from the garage roof - even after months they’re still at the upper hoist limit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Utility Lift
*by S***N on December 27, 2010*

I bought this utility lift to store a small 125-lb paddleboat in my barn. The barn currently does not have electricity available, and a chain hoist is impractical for this particular use. The most important feature was the weight capacity, as I don't want the lift straps or hardware breaking and falling onto someone or something. Some of the installation directions could have been more specific, but after reading it a few times, I was able to understand what to do for each step. How easy installation will be depends upon where you plan to install the lift. The directions are intended for installation in a garage so that you could drive your vehicle in, hook up the straps, and lift the boat off the vehicle. The lift is designed so that the next time you want to use the boat, you simply lower it back onto your vehicle, secure it, and go about your business. In my barn there is 8 feet between trusses, so I had to build a frame for it. I think that potential buyers should know that if you intend to use this in a location other than a garage, basic carpenter skills and tools will be needed. Overall quality is excellent, and it easily lifted the boat. I rated it excellent because overall it works as expected, and the hardware, ropes, and overall design quality are excellent.
