$130 Partsam Amazon hoist (same as HF hoist): amzn.to/3cwXS1Y
In this video I show how I easily mounted this cheap ($100) electric ceiling winch or hoist to raise and store my 182 lb. roof top tent . This system would also work great to lift and store a Jeep hard top, kayak, canoe or other items. I bought this Pittsburgh Automotive 440 lb. electric hoist with remote control from Harbor Freight. A similar version is sold on Amazon by Parsam (it is probably the same exact winch). I researched the Racor Ceiling Storage Lift (rated for 250 lbs) priced around $500 depending on what website you look at. I also looked at the Racor Hoister 7806 (rated for 200 lbs) priced at $165. So far I have no complaints with this system and it is cheaper than the two aforementioned systems and the install was incredibly easy. It took me about 4 hours to complete this project and a lot of that time was spent figuring out how to rig the root top tent for hoisting as the tent is not balanced and it kept tipping to one side and I was getting mad as a hornet. If you have any ideas on how to better rig and hoist an unbalanced object please let me know!

I used 1-5/8" X 1-5/8" 12 ga Superstrut from Home Depot and mounted it to the ceiling joists with 3/8" X 3" lag bolts with some washers
