Harken: The Story Behind The Hoister
For more than 50 years, Harken has brought our passion for great engineering in rope handling products to our jobs every day. Our company was born in sailing where our hardware is found on boats from 8' to over 250'. Harken has been aboard America’s Cup yachts since 1977 and on virtually every boat in every Olympic class.
The engineering found in the Harken Hoister, from low-friction pulleys to the patented auto-locking safety cleat extends directly from our sailing experience.

Installed on 10' ceiling above where the garage door rolls to open. The tolerances were tight and I needed this to be precise, and it work flawlessly, so far I have not been disappointed. Planning and installation took 2-3 hours outside of hardware store trip (2x6's are $12 each right now!) Easy for 1 person to place load on an SUV, all the way down to the floor, or pull to the ceiling. Be sure to wear gloves, at 8 to 1 that is 80' of rope sliding through your hands to lower to the ground. I did not experience any issues with lowering like I had read on other reviews. I can see where there may be an issue to lower if there is little or no weight on the line, I used a 20 Lbs sledge hammer, but needed the significant other to pull on it to get the sling to come down to the floor before I put the iKamper in the sling the first time. I have added a couple of hooks to hold the sling after lowing the iKamper onto the car and the sling is not being used so I don't have to deal with lifting and lowering an empty sling. Feel like I am somewhat project oriented so found the installation easy and am impressed with the design and build of this unit. The custom block and tackle pieces make this something that a vast majority of us would find impossible reproducing with parts from a hardware store, I have tried in the past with Canoe's and roof top storage units. I am currently replacing them all with the various models of this unit. 5 Star Rating.

I tried a less substantial hoist system in figuring out the two things above to store my cargo box on my garage ceiling, but then realized that neither I nor my lighter weight hoist was up to the job. As a result, I ordered this Harken Hoister and asked my handyman to make sure it was done properly. I know this handyman as he has done considerable work for me, including building frames around air vents on the ceilings of my house, so I know he was capable doing this right.
In addition to figuring out the system, there were a few things he did to ensure that the hoist was installed properly. One was that he used the typical studfinder tool to find the joists through the wallboard in the ceiling, but then he also used a wallboard saw to check to find where the edges of the studs were, and located the pigtail lag screws exactly in the center of the joists. When each one was fully screwed into the joist, he tested the connection by putting his entire weight on a strap hanging from each individual pigtail screw, although only a few inces from the ground.
The hardware and the system is of good quality, but I did find that the block and tackle cleat does not stay open when lowering the cargo box to the top of the car, no matter what angle I hold the cord. As a result, I have to use a yardstick to hold the cleat open while allowing the box to come down. Fortunately, the hardware works smoothly and it is possible to lower it with one hand while holding the cleat open with the other. One thing that I did like about the system is that it raises my cargo box all the way to the ceiling which was important for me as I do not have a lot of room between the open garage door and the ceiling.
One other thing worth mentioning, and that is you have to have some room on the wall in front of the vehicle and boat, cargo box, etc. to hang the cleat for the hoisting rope. Of course, the garage shown in the installation manual (see link below) is entirely empty except for the vehicle, the boat, and the hoist, but I suspect most garages do not look like that. In my case, the hoisting rope had to be attached to a boxed in beam, which worked OK since the 'front wall' is covered with shelves and would not have been suitable in any case.
[...]
All in all, this is a great system if installed properly, and fortunately I realized early I was working on something that was over my head.
