Harken Hoister Systems
Harken Hoisters lift
evenly from one, two or four points. Choose your system based on the shape
and weight of the items you want to store. Here are a few storage
ideas for different Hoister systems:
1-Point Bike/Utility
Lift: Bikes, Garden Equipment, etc.
2- Point Storage
System: Kayaks, Ladders, Tandem Bikes, Removable Seats, etc.
4-
Point Storage System: Caonoes, Dinghies, Cartop, Sports
Equipment, Jeep Tops, Truck Caps, Storage Shelves, etc.
There are plenty of
offbeat ways to use these systems too. All it takes is some imagination!
All standard Harken Hoisters are fully rigged and set up for maximum
vertical lift (ceiling height) of 8 ft 6 in.
When selecting your Hoister consider the following:
1. The weight of the item to be stored
2. The desired vertical lift distance

Hoisters for vertical lift greater than 8 ft 6 in
Problem: Let's say
the item to be hoisted weighs 85 lbs and that the height of your garage is
12 ft. With a weight of 85 lbs the 7802B Hoister is your basic system (max
weight of 90 lbs). However, the standard 7802B Hoister is set up for an 8
ft 6 in lift. This is not enough height to get from the car top all the
way up to the ceiling and still be able to lower your item to the floor.
Solution: The solution is to buy the 7802B.12. It is the
same basic system as the 7802B, but has the ability to hoist 12 ft. In
addition to 8 ft 6 in lengths, Harken Hoisters are available in 12 ft and
16 ft lengths. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tie
the system off when I'm finished using it?
You don't have to! The beauty of this system is the patented stainless
steel self-locking safety cleat that automatically locks and holds the
load once you release the rope. This makes your job easier, and more
importantly safer.
What can I store with a Harken Hoister?
Harken Bike/Utility Hoisters are great for storing bikes, light deck
chairs during the winter, and gardening tools. Harken Storage systems
efficiently store small boats, rowing sculls, truck caps, convertible
hardtops, unneeded van seats, canoes, train sets, ski equipment and cartop
carriers, and many other things that fit in its weight range.
What's the difference between the 1-point bike and 4-point storage
Hoisters?
It's easy to tell the difference. The single point bike hoister lifts your
load using two straps and one attachment point in the ceiling. The four
point storage hoister lifts your load using two straps and four attachment
points in the ceiling.
How much can Harken Hoister systems lift?
The Bike/Utility system is engineered to lift 45 lbs (20.4 kg).
The 4-Point Hoister Storage system can lift more:
#7801 - 60 lbs (27 kg)
#7802 - 90 lbs (41 kg)
#7803 - 145 lbs (66 kg)
#7806 - 200 lbs (91 kg)
How Can I Lift That Much Weight?
We use the mechanical advantage provided by a block and tackle system.
How High Do The Systems Lift?
We have systems designed to hoist 8.5' (2.65 m), 12' (3.7 m) and 16' (5m).
How Difficult Is It To Install A Harken Hoister?
For the Bike/Utility lift all you need to do is install the single screw
eye (included) into your truss or garage rafter.
The 4-Point Storage System comes complete with a well-illustrated
instruction manual. If you have questions you can contact Harken's Tech
Service department at techservice@harken.com.
Do I Need To Buy Any Additional Parts For Installation?
Bike/Utility Lift: No. It comes with everything you need.
The 4-Point Hoister Storage Systems come with all the mounting hardware.
However, you might want to buy two 2" x 6" x 6' boards to help align the
lift directly over the object you're lifting.
Can Hoister Systems Be Installed Directly Into A Ceiling's Truss or
Rafters?
Yes, if your trusses/rafters line up with where you want your Hoister
mounted, it can be installed directly into ceiling trusses. You may need
to run a short cross beam between trusses in order to mount the organizer.
If necessary, you can install the two 2" x 6" x 6' boards to align the
system so you can lift the object straight off your vehicle without the
system pulling from side-to-side.
I Have A Roof Rack That Is Heavier On One Side Than The Other.
Will The Harken Hoister Lift The Load Evenly?
Yes. Because of the system's patented special design, the Hoister will
lift your load evenly, no matter how the weight is distributed. |
