Measure the object you are storing and multiply by 0.4 to determine how far apart you will install
ceiling plates A and L. For example, a 10 foot object would mean you install the ceiling plates 4 feet
apart (10 feet x 0.4 = 4 feet). You will install Ceiling Plate B past the end of the object you are storing
as shown in the image.
Plan and Install Parts
1
You must mount the Ceiling Plates to wood ceiling joists. Find the direction of your joists and deter-
mine where you will install the Ceiling Plates. Use the images to determine how you will install your
hoist and which holes you will use on the ceiling plates.

Key:

If parallel, only one joist is required. Mark the center
of the joist near where you will install the ceiling
plates. If the joists are covered with drywall, use a
stud finder to locate and mark the center of the
joists.
If perpendicular, 3 joists are required. Choose 3
joists that have a gap between them that is closest
to the distance you found in Step 1. Mark the center
of the joists you are using near where the ceiling
plates will be installed. If the joists are covered with
drywall, use a stud finder to locate and mark the
center of the joists.

Pre-drill pilot holes in the ceiling joists at the locations you marked with a 3/16” (5mm) drill bit
Hold the ceiling plates against the ceiling at the centerline of the joist and mark the hole locations
with a pencil at the center of the slots.
5
To determine where you will install the Wall Cleat (E), find a location on a wall near the end of the
Brake Pulley Plate (B) where the rope comes out. The wall cleat should be mounted at an easy height
to reach but out of the way, somewhere around shoulder height. It is best to mount the wall cleat
into a wall stud, but a drywall anchor can also be used.
a. If mounting wall cleat to a stud: use a stud finder to locate a wall stud near where the rope
comes out, then use a stud finder to mark the stud centerline at the height you will mount the wall
cleat. Pre-drill pilot holes with a 3/32” (2.5mm) drill bit. Install the wall cleat with the Wood Screws
(J) in the pilot holes.
b. If mounting the wall cleat to drywall: it is recommended to use a stud finder or wire detector to
ensure you do not drill into electrical wires, plumbing lines, or anything else behind the drywall.
Drill anchor holes with a 3/16” (5mm) drill bit. Press the Drywall Anchors (K) into the holes, then
install the wall cleat with the Wood Screws (J) into the drywall anchors.
7
Install the ceiling plates with Lag Screws (I) and Washers (H) into the pilot holes using a 12mm
socket. Look at the overview images in the beginning and make sure the ceiling plates are in the
correct orientation when mounting.

Assemble rope and strap brackets
Overview of Parts and Rope Steps
Place the Strap Brackets (C & D) on the floor below the Pulley Ceiling Plates and orient them so the
cross straps face each other. To make sure they don’t turn while installing the rope, connect the
cross strap on the Strap Bracket C through the buckle on the Strap Bracket D and tighten to remove
the slack
Before you install the rope, note
this image. On Steps 5.3 and 5.9,
you have to make sure you are
passing the rope over the
correct pulley L
B
1
From the starting knot, pull the rope through your hands to make sure it is smooth and loosely
coil it on the ground.
4
The Double Pulley Plate (L) and Brake Pulley Plate
(B) each have two pulleys, and the Brake Pulley
Plate (B) has two brake holes.
"Pulley 2" and "Brake Hole 2" align with the knot
hole.
"Pulley 1" and "Brake Hole 1" do not align with the
knot hole.
2
To install the rope, start at the knot hole on the Single Pulley
Plate (A). Place the end of the rope through the knot hole and
loop a few inches around the rest of the rope and tie a basic
knot. Pull down gently on the remaining rope to tighten the
knot.

Steps 7 & 8

Need to know: The free end of the rope coming out of the brake is two ropes that are looped at the end. Each
rope can be individually adjusted to straighten the object you are lifting when first setting it, but most of the
time you will pull both of them together and treat it as a single rope.
Assemble straps and operate hoist
To set the brake to prevent the hoist from lowering, move the free rope end in a straight line
toward the direction the rope comes out of the brake pulley.
1
To attach your object, place it below the hoist and use the
rope and brake to set the Strap Brackets (C & D) to a height
just above the object. Place the Straps (G) underneath the
object you are storing so that the ends come over the top
and align them under the Strap Brackets.
3
4Orient the Strap so that the buckle is facing up and the strap is
not twisted. Weave each Strap end through the cutouts in the
bottom of the Strap Brackets
To release the brake and lower your object, grab the rope tightly and prepare to hold the weight
of your object. Pull straight down on the free end of the rope until the brake releases and raise
the rope toward the ceiling to lower your object.
2
Pull away and release to lock
Hold tightly and pull down to unlock

Take the free end of the rope and adjust each side separately to straighten the Strap Brackets
above the object.
7
Pull the rope evenly to raise the object toward the ceiling, and engage the brake when it reaches
the desired height.
8
Wrap the extra rope around the wall cleat to keep it free from knots, and to serve as a backup for
the brake pulley.
9
6Press down on the buckle release to open it and guide the strap end from the bottom through
the slot in the silicone buckle cover and through the opening in the buckle. The buckle must be
used with the strap coming up through the bottom and out of the top, it will slip if the strap is
going the other way.
5
Pull the end of the strap to tighten and adjust the straps so that your object sits tight against the
strap bracket. The tighter you make the strap, the closer your object will be to the ceiling.
6
Press down to open
Before putting any weight on the system, make
sure it is set up correctly and looks exactly like
the overview image
