Garage Gator Single Canoe & Kayak 220 lb Hoist kit

Easy to install and feels very sturdy, with smooth movement up and down.

Decent quality, OK instructions, made in China

Pros: - Components are of appropriate quality for the price despite being made in China - Installation instructions are just OK - Packaging protected the parts fairly well during shipping, but the Styrofoam packing broke apart in a few places - Kayak hanging straps are made in USA, arrived separately, came with no instructions but are easy to figure out Cons: - YouTube videos helped very little as they gloss over several important steps making it appear easier than it is in a real garage - The instructions and packaging include pictures or drawings of several configurations, except not one with the hoist being used with the kayak straps that came separately - Motor moves very fast, a bit too fast to safely raise & lower a large, long, heavy kayak or similar object - Package contained extra parts that are not shown or referred to in the installation manual, such as the large flat coil spring? Bottom Line: Recommended, but don't expect installation to be as easy as shown on YouTube.

Great Space Saver

Excellent hoist - very easy to install and works great. Technical support was very helpful in answering all questions regarding installation and leveling.
