A canoe hoist is a pulley system used to lift a canoe off the ground for storage. The system includes ropes or cables with hooks or straps to secure the canoe, and it can be mounted to a garage ceiling or beams. The installation must be done carefully to ensure safety.
A canoe hoist is a device used to lift a canoe off the ground for storage in a garage, shed, or other suitable space. This system generally includes two or more pulleys, as well as a rope or cable running through the pulleys; the ropes may have hooks and/or straps attached to them so that the canoe can be secured to the canoe hoist system. Once the canoe is secured, a user can pull on the end of the rope and lift the canoe off the ground, often making way for more storage space or even parking for vehicles.
In many cases, the canoe lift will lift the boat off the ground vertically to any desired height. Many homeowners use such systems to store the boat on top of a parked car in a garage, which means the pulleys must be mounted to the garage ceiling or to beams above the garage. Once the canoe hoist sheaves are mounted, the rope or cable can be pulled through the system; Most systems use two pulleys, but more elaborate systems may use three or more. The more pulleys included in the system, the more weight will be distributed, which means that a user will be able to lift more weight more easily.
The straps are usually wrapped around the hull of the boat so that it can be raised with the canoe lift. Some systems use hooks that attach to secure points on the boat. Once the boat is secured, the user will pull on the rope, effectively lifting the canoe off the ground. Once the canoe is in place, the user will tie the end of the rope to an anchor point. This anchor can simply be a fixed beam or stud, or it can be a wall-mounted hook. Most canoe lift systems can be purchased with an included anchor point designed for use with the included rope.
The installation of the system must be done with care. Pulleys must be bolted or bolted to a solid beam or post; It is not safe to simply secure the pulleys to drywall or other weak materials that may loosen the pulleys during use. The anchor point must also be strong and secure to prevent system failure. The user should read all included instructions to learn the proper way to anchor the canoe while in storage.
