Review: Great piece of kit. - Fast delivery. Great piece of kit. Reasonably easy to install and really sturdy. My sit on kayak is quite heavy 29kg and this handles it perfectly. Yes the non-adjustable straps are a bit annoying but I redesigned them to fit precisely and can raise my boat until it touches the rafters in my garage. The safety lock is great and prevents the boat coming down on my head by accident. Included instructions aren't great but the YouTube video worked fine so all good. I intend to purchase a second for my other boat. Update: I've now purchased a 2nd one and sit is as good as the first. I've managed to reclaim the use of my garage floor. 😄 Review: Generally good quality let down by a couple of the screws. - There are basically two types of these pulleys for sale at the time of writing on desertcart. This one and a cheaper version. This one was for sale in three listings when we got it. This listing for a kayak pulley and two for bikes. The price varied a lot between the listings but this was the best price at the time (May 2020). The cheaper one gets some poor reviews fo being poorer quality/flimsy in places. Out of the box I was impressed by this product. The main pieces are made of 2mm folded steel and feel very solid (it looks like the cheaper version uses thinner pressings). The ones in this product are easily up to the job (in my view as an M.Eng). The rest of the parts are not quite as good but generally adequate. The pulleys are simple nylon (?) wheels on steel spindles. There are no bearings but for the load which this is meant to handle and infrequent use I'd expect these to last reasonably well. It's possible that they could become deformed over time from the load hanging from them in one place for a long time but that's speculation only. The pulleys are bolted to the frames with M8 bolts. The strength of these will depend on the actual material which I don't know, but even if they are relatively poor quality, they should easily be up to the job. The cleat to hold the rope on the wall is a simple but adequate bent steel affair. The rope (as others have commented) is odd and looks like possibly the weakest element here. It'll do the job new, but does not inspire confidence that it will wear well. Time will tell. Would have been good to see something better here. I found fitting fairly involved, but that's mainly because of my application and space available. There are two ways to mount the brackets to the ceiling: 1) with screws or bolts going vertically through supplied brackets to which you then bolt on the main pulley carriers or 2) bolting horizontally through something and into the pulley carrier. In my view the latter is a stronger/preferable fixing if available, but as long as the correct fixings are used, either will be fine. The fixings are supplied, but here's where my only real criticism/caution applies. The smallest screws provided are for holding the wall cleat. Both of these sheared off during fitting for me. Although I was using a slipper clutch driver to put them in, I don't believe torque was excessive. Possibly user error, but I have never had this problem with any of the screws I've bought myself to use to mount things in the garage. This raises a concern about the material qualities used. If the screws were poor, it's possible it's just those ones which hold the cleat which are sub standard. The rest of the fixings supplied give no hint from appearance that they are not reasonable quality, but it can be difficult to tell. Sorry I can't be more definitive. I used only the horizontal through bolts in my case and given there are 4 of these and they are M10, I am happy that that they will be fine. In my case this is only holding one mountain bike. If I had to use the vertical coach screws to fix up into a ceiling/rafter, I would probably replace what is supplied with my own, just to be sure. In use it's pretty good. There is no mechanical advantage/gearing from the pulleys here, so you are lifting the full weight of your bike/kayak. Not generally an issue, but worth noting. In most cases it may be worth considering knotting the two ropes together so that you can pull evenly more easily. I am also going to fit a ring on the ropes so tyhat I can just hook that on to the cleat once raised. That to me feels like a safer/easier way to lock into place before coiling and hanging the rope (i.e. rather than having to get a couple of turns on the cleat to lock the ropes). Speaking of locks. There is a locking mechanism fitting which holds the load. It's simple and in my view too unreliable to be of much value. It's not reliable enough that one can let go of the ropes, but works well enough to be an obstacle when trying to lower. As others have noted, it's probably worth bypassing altogether for this reason. In my application I raised a bicycle about 4m. I had just about enough rope to do this (I have to lift the bike slightly first to hook the saddle and bars). But I have the pulley brackets slightly closer together than would be normal for other reasons. That means you may have less rope available (especially if lifting something longer than a bike - like a kayak). So if you're planning to lift quite high, you might need to replace the rope. If you're using the straps as well this is unlikely to be an issue however. ## Features - Heavy duty hoist storage system - Suitable for canoe, SUP, kayaks, bikes and many other large items - One person operation - Maximum lift weight of 50 lb / 22 kg ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Package Dimensions | 29.1 x 15.6 x 11.9 cm; 2.86 kg | | Part number | h2ows | | Manufacturer | H2o Kayaks | | Item model number | UCBK230 | | ASIN | B00HRU3F5S | ## Images ![H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HYgxzonaL.jpg) ![H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z1sdGSr-L.jpg) ![H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gcSp36R5L.jpg) ![H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jEdySX4CL.jpg) ![H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uVlmHZ3UL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I would this be suitable for my old town canadian canoe, 16 feet, width 36 inches depth, 13 inches weight 59 pounds** A: Yes, it would be suitable. make sure you put it out of the way as the hooks hang down 16 inches so including the depth of your canoe that 29 inched from hangers **Q: Can the pulleys be rotated so they are at 90 degrees to the brackets? I need to hang my canoe going across rather than parallel to the roof timbers** A: No they have to face the same way as the rafters. Having said that I put extra pieces of wood because my wooden rafters were going the wrong way aswell(going across garage). I put heavy nails into the added bits of wood and a few big screws aswell. It sbeen up since last summer **Q: Can this be installed to hang from a thick steel girder running down the spine of the garage roof?** A: Not without having to drill holes through the girder to allow the securing bolts to pass through and attach the locking nuts. **Q: can i used this to hang my large car roof top box please** A: Yes I did exactly that. I hung a Thule roof box, it was a medium size but there was plenty of room for a bigger one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great piece of kit. *by A***R on 4 June 2020* Fast delivery.

On unpacking, I discovered a well-made, quality hoist that looked and felt like it could do the job I intended it for. I installed it in my garage single handed without problem in a couple of hours. If the enclosed instructions aren't quite clear enough (especially the rope threading part), go to YouTube and watch one of a dozen or so demonstrations. It turns out really simple to do. The hoist works well but the rope brake is a bit stiff at first down to newness. Rope quality isn't the best but doing the job for now. Most garages (UK) will have lower joists than what is ideally required for this hoist to be truly fit for purpose leaving little or no headroom after the item (kayak, bicycle, roof box, etc.) is lifted. All said & done, I'm very satisfied with my purchase so far. It is holding a 30kg kayak plus paddle, seat, life jacket & trolley without problem. ## Frequently Bought Together - H2o Kayaks Canoe/SUP/Kayak/Bike Heavy Duty Storage Hoist System - 6 Packs Stainless Steel Kayak Track Mount Tie Down Eyelet Rail Accessory Outdoor Fishing Supply for Kayak Canoe Boat Cord Rope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/49682647-h2o-kayaks-canoe-sup-kayak-bike-heavy-duty-storage-hoist](https://www.desertcart.us/products/49682647-h2o-kayaks-canoe-sup-kayak-bike-heavy-duty-storage-hoist) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
