Stainless Steel, Machined Aluminum, Galvanized Lag Bolts, & Nylon Strap construction provides years of indoor or outdoor storage of canoes and kayaks.

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 to save valuable floor space.

Our canoe and kayak hoist and storage system installs directly into rafters or joists and does not require the additional installation of  2" x 4"  lumber for mounting (though some may prefer to install it this way for an easy and secure installation onto a finished ceiling). 

To install, simply install the aluminum pulley blocks using the two included lag eye screws into any suitable joist, stud, rafter, or dock post. Then connect the other end to the lanyards or rings on a kayak or canoe or to our Canoe & Kayak Hull Cradle (sold separately) and raise or lower the kayak or canoe using the mechanical advantage of the hoist strap assemblies.  No separate cleat or complicated pulley tracking 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!  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. 

The included canoe and kayak hoist strap assemblies have a minimum combined breaking strength of approximately 300 lbs! Actual lifting strength may vary by installation and assumes that the teeth on the included stainless steel snap hooks are in the fully closed and engaged position before and during lifting of a canoe or kayak.

The included lag screws are designed for direct installation onto a suitable joist or beam or onto a finished ceiling with a maximum drywall, plaster, or stucco thickness of 1/2". When installing through thicker finished ceilings we recommend purchasing longer lag screws at a local hardware store. It is important to make sure that the framing or structure that the hoists straps are installed onto are capable of supporting the full weight of the stored canoe or kayak. Please contact us with any questions about the safest use and installation of this product.

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.

NOTE: To ensure best performance and longest strap life, the straps should be operated in line with the canoe or kayak as is the case with any rope hoist or chain hoist. Our pulley blocks have machined surfaces that may contain sharp edges. Always wear protective eye and hand gear when installing this product.
