| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule overall - good product |
| Overall, good product. The pulleys and winching mechanism are well-constructed. The instructions I thought are very deficient. Be sure you think through your position before drilling holes. The screws they give you are concrete screws - not sure how many of us have concrete garage roofs. |
| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule Works great, but... |
| After getting this hoist installed on my garage ceiling, I've been happy with its performance. Happy enough, in fact, to buy and install a second one. But it was quite the frustrating experience installing it. My garage has a very high ceiling and is completely finished off so that the overhead studs were difficult to find. The first hoist took me about 5 hours to install. The second one took about half as long, since by then I knew what I was doing and knew where to find the studs. Overall, it's a good product and works well, but allow plenty of time for installation. One last comment: I'm still not sure why this gizmo costs over $100 because it is basically a very simple device and should probably run about $60. |
| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule Great product |
| This is an awesome product. Installing with 1X4's is makes the job much easier. Also used my own screws. I load up the box with camping stuff and crank it up to the ceiling. |
| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule Works as advertised |
This works like it's supposed to. Holds my 1800 without issue. A few notes though:
1) Get your own mounting screws, the stuff that comes with it is junk
2) I ended up putting up 1x4 supports and mounting everything to those. I didn't put the middle support in, and it doesn't seem to matter.
3) My ceiling is is just over 10' tall, and this only comes down to about eye-level for me (I'm 6' tall). It's enough for me, but you might consider getting a longer rope. |
| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule You will need to make you own modification for proper mounting! |
| Spent quite a bit of time at the hardware store in order to mount the Thule 571 properly to my 15 foot ceiling in our garage. Since the width of my cargo carrier does fit within the standard 24" beams, had to use some 1x4 planks to mount the lift hardware. The planks were mounted orthogonal to the length of the carrier. So I had two planks for each wheel set and third one for the crank mechanism bracket. Recommend marking stuff on a paper template and using that as a guide. Much easier then trying to measure and mark your ceiling especially when it is as tall as mine. |
| Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift by Thule Product Description |
The Thule Box/Storage lift makes it easy to take big stuff you aren't using and get it the heck out of the way. The Lift operates with a simple crank system. You just loop the ropes around whatever canoe, box, kayak, boat, etc. that you want to hoist, and crank away. The Box/Storage Lift is easy to mount to ceiling studs or to rafters in your garage, and will free up massive amounts of space that you can fill up with other junk.
