Is your garage filled with so much stuff there's no room for the car? Here's a practical solution. Go vertical! With the Harken Hoister you can store car top recreational equipment such as kayaks, sailing dinghies and truck caps up and out of the way.
Best of all, you can hoist/lower these large items onto your car by yourself. A self-locking, ball bearing block system prevents accidental release - even if you drop the line.
This is a great way to keep your small boats, bikes and tools out of the way.
System comes with everything you need for fast installation.
All standard Harken Hoisters are fully rigged and set up for maximum vertical lift (ceiling height) of 8 ft 6 in.
Select a Hoister part number from the charts below to get pricing and online order information.
When selecting your Hoister consider the following:
1. The weight of the item to be stored
2. The desired vertical lift distance

Hoisters for vertical lift greater than 8 ft 6 in:
Problem: Let's say the item to be hoisted weighs 85 lbs and that the height of your garage is 12 ft.
With a weight of 85 lbs the 7802B Hoister is your basic system (max weight of 90 lbs).
However, the standard 7802B Hoister is set up for an 8 ft 6 in lift.
This is not enough height to get from the car top all the way up to the ceiling and still be able to lower your item to the floor.
Solution: The solution is to buy the 7802B.12. It is the same basic system as the 7802B, but has the ability to
hoist 12 ft.
In addition to 8 ft 6 in lengths, Harken Hoisters are available in 12 ft and 16 ft lengths.
