Garage Kayak Hoist: Ceiling Storage Rack for Your Kayaks
I show a garage ceiling hoist system my friend Mike uses to store his kayaks up and out of the way.
What’s in this video
This garage storage setup for kayaks works really well. It’s the Racor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift, a ceiling mounted hoist rack with a 4 foot by 4 foot platform. My friend Mike from the FossilID channel uses it to keep his kayaks out of the way when he’s not using them.
A winding axle and vinyl coated steel cable raise and lower the platform, and it lifts and stores up to 250 pounds without a ladder. It has heavy duty steel support beams, needs some assembly, weighs 76 pounds and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
Quick takeaways
- The Racor PHL-1R lifts and stores up to 250 lb overhead without a ladder.
- It uses a 4 ft x 4 ft platform on a cable and winding axle, and assembly is required.
