I Like It!:
I just purchased two units for my garage. Installed both this past weekend. Using for miscellaneous items we don't use very often. I read many of the reviews which helped tremendously with the installation. The first took about 5 hours - 2 of which were locating studs and eating lunch. The second took just under three hours. I was able to do it by myself thanks to the previous posts. A few things to consider. I used a very small drill bit to locate the studs (joists). There is a clear difference in a... more info
Very Awesome Storage Unit!:
This product did exactly what we needed. We live in and area where ice fishing is a winter activity, the only problem is you can only fish about 4 months of the year.

Convenient storage but not trival to install or use:
I've had two of these for several years and just got another since the price was good. The hardest part about installing them was the hot weather. But I can't blame the manufacturer for that.

There have been a few comments about the spacing of your joists. 16... more info
Variation on installation.:
I have ordered 2 of the HeavyLift hoists. I have read most of the best reviews, and I don't have the instalation instructions. I am considering using 1 full sheet of ¾" plywood mounted to the ceiling on which I'll mount 2 hoists. It would solve the issues of the best location for the hoists not being where studs are located, and be able to do more precise work on the floor or bench instead of overhead on ladders. Procedure: Install plywood into studs on the ceiling with better lag bolts and... more info
