Built in Salt Lake City
This mount is perfect for jeep lovers who are always taking the top on and off. We were able to attach it to the ceiling and wall. Back the jeep underneath it and crank the lift down to attach to jeep. Sturdy and easy to assemble
Directions weren't the best. Not easy to fully understand. Once the lift was up, I drilled 2 larger holes in each pulley so lag bolts cold be used for sturdiness. Use a drill or impact to raise and lower the top. The gearing is so high it'd be too much work to use the crank. I will only use the lift twice a year. So the lift will do the job.
Outside of the installation (directions could be better and I could be more mechanically adept) the lift is great and the customer service is exceptional. If I could have skipped the install part this would get 5 stars across the board.
Installation was easy. Had to install the crank on the side rather than straight back due to space. I added additional lag bolts to the lumber to add additional support.
Had all the parts and holds up the top. Took my time and got it up in a few hours. I used hex screws instead of the Phillips they came with, I trust those more when it comes to dangling 1k 7 feet high. 8ft ceiling, and 3 inch lift on jeep and I could lift it over a foot high. I use a drill with 3/4 socket to lift and drop. Make sure you are center when you lift or it could drag on your bed rails.
Love the dual pully system and easy to use crank. Disappointed in the quality of screws provided for mounting pullies (easily stripped and heads break). Strongly recommend getting your own higher quality screws as they are a critical fail item if a pully were to separate from the mounting board.
Great for storing our hard top. It was a little difficult to install.
Gets the job done. Seems fairly rugged. You definitely need to use a drill to power the crank. Using the hand crank would take forever to raise/lower. It took several adjustments to get the spreader bar setup correctly so the hard top sits level when hoisted.
Love this lift for my JK hardtop. Saves space in the garage.
Easy to install and works great
We needed somewhere and somehow to lift and store the top to our 2016 Jeep JK wrangler. This does it at a great price. Since we will only be lifting and putting back on 1x per year respectfully, the hand crank was fine. It was a decent price and does a good job. Lifting the top wasn't horrible but now only one person needs to be available to remove or replace the top vs. 3 due to the cumbersome shape of the top. It also locks in place and stores the top in the garage out of the way...which is the biggest jeep hard top problem!
Common questions
Our Hoists were designed for garages of all heights. Each garage is different. Just be sure to measure your space and use the lengths given above to calculate if there is enough cable for you.
If you have the power unit mounted above your Jeep we recommend 12 inches of clearance from your ceiling to your hard top. If you have a crank unit or a side wall mount it's 8 inches from ceiling to the hardtop. (These are the measurements as if your top was lifted completely.) Add the height of your top to know how much clearance you will have.
Yes. Hoist-A-Top can store your top all summer long. Double check that everything is mounted securely and all screws are tightened. Our units were designed with a self-locking mechanism. It will stay in place until you manually are lifting or lowering your top.
Our power unit can hold 400 Lbs. Our crank units can hold 440 Lbs. The Hoist-A-Cart can hold 200 Lbs.
