Cargo Box Overhead Garage Storage Hoist, Self-Leveling, Safe Anti-Drop System, Easy One-Person Operation, Smart Garage Organization

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

I need to store the large Thule I bought in my garage. I wasn’t sure if this would do it as the price was cheaper than most of the others.It does take some extra wood to mount to the ceiling and you will need an extra hand.My only complaint was the knots you need to make to attach to the straps was not fun. I spent a good 45 min doing those and redoing them to make them the right length.Once up though, you the Thule was easy to lift and easy to drop down again.

I thought the instructions were less than stellar. But once installed, it works very well.

Great product. This is my 4th Harken Hoister over past 5 years ( 3-Kayaks and now the rooftop luggage box). High quality product in which Harken obviously is bringing its quality sailing products experience to the home. Straight-forward to install as long as you follow the model selection and installation instructions point-by-point. A great way to free up floor space in garage or walki-in basement.

Good system. A little bit of a pain to install in a South Florida home but worked fine once I found the rafters. Only gripe I have is that the cleat locks very well. Too well! Hard to lower it smoothly without having to climb up and lift the lock myself.
