ProfessionalKayak/Canoe Ceiling Hoist

Kayaks and canoes are long, awkward, and take up more garage floor space than anything else in the home. A ceiling hoist gets them out of the way and lets you park properly — we install the pulleys into joists and confirm the load rating before you clip in your boat.

Also known as: kayak ceiling hoist, canoe storage hoist, kayak garage storage, ceiling kayak lift, kayak pulley system install, canoe ceiling mount

How it works

Measure & locate joists

We measure the kayak length, find the corresponding joists, and confirm the joist spacing will locate the front and rear pulleys at the right distance apart.

Install pulleys & rope

We mount the pulley hardware into the joist centers, thread the hoist rope through each pulley, and route the rope to the single pull-point at the side.

Test-lift & adjust cradles

We attach the cradle straps to the kayak, hoist it to ceiling height, confirm it hangs level, and adjust the strap lengths until the hull is fully supported.
