Kayak and Canoe Hoist Installation Service
A hoist is the best thing that ever happened to a garage with a kayak in it, as long as it's screwed into something real. The pulley brackets have to land on ceiling joists, the spacing has to match the boat's balance points, and the rope has to be rigged so one person can raise a 60-pound kayak without it swinging into the car. We mount hoists into the joists, rig them, and test them with your boat before we leave.
Ceiling hoists from Harken, RAD, StoreYourBoard, and the hardware-store kits, plus wall-mounted kayak and paddleboard racks, canoe cradles, bike lifts, and cargo box hoists. Send a photo of the garage ceiling and the boat and we quote it flat.
What's Included
Everything Included in Our Service
Into the joists, rigged for one person, tested with the boat on it.
Lag-Bolted Into Joists
Brackets located on the joists with the right spacing for your boat, never into drywall alone. Open trusses and finished ceilings both fine.
Rigged for One Person
Rope and pulleys routed so the boat rises level and locks off, with the cleat where you can reach it.
Load-Tested With Your Boat
Raised, locked, and left up while we watch it. If it needs adjusting, it gets adjusted then.
Cars Still Fit
Placed to clear the garage door track, the opener, and the car below it.
What We Install
Garage Hoists and Racks for Kayaks, Canoes, and Paddleboards
Most garages have the height for a hoist and no idea where the joists run. That's the whole job: find them, put the load on them, and rig the boat so it goes up and down without a fight.
- Kayak and canoe ceiling hoists, single and double, rated for your boat's weight
- Wall-mounted kayak and SUP racks and canoe cradles, lag-bolted into studs
- Bike hoists and ceiling bike racks, and hoists for rooftop cargo boxes and truck caps
- Two-kayak and kayak-plus-bike layouts planned around the car, the door track, and the opener
