Do you have some photos of this when unloaded? Or perhaps a diagram? That looks like exactly what I need!At some point one must admit one has a problem, and a garage with a low ceiling. Then one builds a rolling, cantilevered canoe rack.

Seek and you shall find! Not only do I have unloaded pictures for you, but also elevation drawing done by someone with knowledge gained by one semester of high school shop class. For a bonus, we can see Paddlin’ Hal applying the final touches in the fetal position. What more documentation could one ask for?
In all seriousness, I hope it helps. And if you’ve questions don’t hesitate to reach out to me. This rack has proved itself to be super useful over the last year despite my engineering shortcomings.

Dismantle/remove the cord lock and use a cleat on the garage wall instead.I have two of those commercial hoists but the lowering mode is activated by pulling almost straight down on the cord, and the canoe is right there in the way. Is there a solution I don't know about?
See the second picture in #30 which shows one possible way to move the canoe and the rope out of each other's way. You will probably need more rope and pulleys.I have two of those commercial hoists but the lowering mode is activated by pulling almost straight down on the cord, and the canoe is right there in the way.
