I installed 2x6’s to the rafters and then installed the hardware. Measure carefully. It works great!!

The pulley system works perfectly. The only issue is the 4 wheels 100% need to anchored into studs. The guide it came with suggested putting the center pole on a stud, which of course is a good idea. But, the suggested placement for pulley wheels on the guide was no where near the 2' x 4's. After messing around with it for a day, I can say the wheels hold more of the weight and need to be secured even better than the center pole. So I moved the wheels away from the recomended placement. BTW, I loaded the pod with camping supplies and it's at the weight limit of the pulley system. It would be less of a big deal if you hung it empty, obviously.

I have had the lift installed and functioning in my garage for almost 25 yrs with no issues.

Despite the negative reviews, this item is easy to install and works very well for hoisting roof-top boxes, kayaks, and canoes. I recommend first fastening 3 - 2"x6"x42" boards to the ceiling to simplify installation. This makes for a very sturdy installation, allows you to install parallel or perpendicular to the rafter direction, and eliminates the issue of rafter spacing. The center brackets accept 5/16" lag screws, and the pulley brackets accept 1/4" lag screws. I used 5/16" x 3-1/2" lags to fasten the 2"x6" boards to the ceiling rafters and 2" long lag screws to fasten the brackets to the boards. The vertical weight rating of the lag screws exceeds the weight rating of the Multilift.

This is a great lift device, well-engineered and built like all the Thule products I have.
