Simple & Secure...

Patented design with 3:1 mechanical advantage holds up to 300 pounds and is the only hoist that provides a vertical stacking solution of multiple canoes or kayaks (multiple hoists required).

Simple installation takes less than 15 minutes!

For Indoor or Outdoor Canoe & Kayak Storage of all sizes from ceilings up to up to 20 feet (longer lengths available by custom order - please call for details and pricing)

Release cord for overhead access to release button without the use of a pole or ladder with Velcro loop for securing hoist strap during storage.

A unique canoe & kayak lifting and storage solution.

Provides simple and secure kayak and canoe storage from any ceiling.  the Handy-Hooker Canoe and Kayak Storage Hoist fits all kayaks and canoes and is the only kayak and canoe storage device that provides simple, vertical stacking of multiple canoes and kayaks.

Patented moving release mechanism is positioned next to the canoe or kayak which provides controlled lifting, lowering, and stacking of canoes and kayaks for safe and easy single person operation. US Patent Number 7,367,547.

Release cord for simple control from ground level without the use of a pole or ladder with integrated Velcro Loop for securing hoist straps during storage.

Stainless Steel & Nylon construction provides years of indoor or outdoor storage of canoes and kayaks.

 

Simple installation requires only a few minutes...

To use, simply thread the two included lag eye bolts into any suitable joist, stud, rafter, or dock post. Then hook the strap assemblies to the previously installed lag eye bolts, connect the other end to the lanyards or rings on a kayak or canoe or to our Canoe & Kayak Hull Cradle (sold separately), then raise or lower the kayak or canoe using the mechanical advantage of the hoist strap assemblies.  This integrated leverage system acts like a block and tackle lifting device making it simple for anyone to lift even the heaviest kayaks and canoes. 

NOTE: To ensure proper control of the release cord from any angle (especially when used with the Cradle System), make sure that the release cord is passed through the hook. This results in the optimal pulling angle to open the cam from any position.

The strongest, simplest, and most space-efficient kayak and canoe lifting and storage system... guaranteed!

 

The simple, safe, and secure storage of kayaks and canoes has been a difficult task... until now.  Our Canoe and Kayak Hanger Kit includes everything required to store one kayak or canoe in the basement, garage, shed, or boathouse.  The separate purchase of our Hull Cradle system is recommended for use with our Canoe & Kayak Hoist for the storage of most kayaks and some canoes that may be prone to warpage if hung from their ends without additional support. Additional kits can be purchased to provide stacking storage of multiple kayaks and canoes (even from the same installation) to save valuable floor space.  Each Canoe and Kayak Storage Kit includes two rust-proof stainless steel lag eye bolts (for simple installation into studs, beams, joists, etc.) and two nylon strap assemblies with stainless steel snap hooks on each end.  The straps are fully adjustable from 13 inches to 9 feet (custom lengths also available below) which provides ample room to stack multiple kayaks or canoes from a single set of installed lag eye bolts in tight locations.  It also adds the versatility of being able to hang canoes and kayaks of different lengths from the same installation without installing additional lag eye bolts.  The Handy-Hooker™ Kayak and Canoe Hoist can hold weights of up to 300 pounds (which will vary by installation of lag eye bolts), making it the strongest product of its kind.  Strap color is black.  100% Nylon & Stainless Steel construction for years of maintenance-free use indoors or outdoors.  US Patent # 7,367,547.

Unlike rope, cable, and cleat products, our canoe and kayak hoist cannot be accidentally released and the straps do not easily tangle, wear, or break like competing canoe or kayak rope lift products.  The release button and release cord move with the canoe or kayak, staying out of the reach of children while providing controllable height adjustment for adults.   This also provides the ability to guide kayaks or canoes down to the ground slowly and easily, while providing single person operation from each end of the canoe or kayak. 

Our canoe and kayak hoist and storage system installs directly into rafters or joists of almost any size and does not require the additional installation of  2" x 4"  lumber for mounting.  Simply predrill two holes and thread the lag eye bolts into them for hanging the hoist straps from. No cleat or pulley installation is required, making it the easiest lifting system for kayaks and canoes available... In fact, we guarantee it to be easier to install and more secure than all other kayak and canoe lifts on the market!  The Handy-Hooker™ Canoe and Kayak Hoist & Storage Kit features our standard limited lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects discovered during normal use.  Please contact us for full warranty details.

Please note: When fully elevated, our canoe and kayak storage system has a minimum length of approximately 13" measured from each of the hook ends. Therefore when installed in a perfectly vertical position, the canoe or kayak will hang approximately 13" below the ceiling. Inside the joist installations on unfinished ceilings and non-vertical hoist strap installations provide a closer position to the ceiling.

NOTE ABOUT EXTENDED LENGTH VERSIONS:
Our standard hoist length is optimized for ceilings up to 10 feet tall. When ordering custom lengths for tall ceilings, please note that the connection point on the canoe or kayak is typically around 1' above ground. If using this product with our Hull Cradle System, the cradle straps add several more inches of stretch to the system during normal use. Therefore, there is no advantage to ordering more length than needed.
