We love overhead storage for the same reasons you do. It gets your kayaks up and out of the way! But most overhead racks aren't equipped to handle a kayak's size. Hoists works great, but they can only handle one kayak. So we went ahead and designed the versatile Hi-Port 2. With its multiple extension points, 90 degree rotational capabilities and overbuilt support arms, it's the perfect solution for any twin kayak storage needs. The points below illustrate the range of issues the Hi-Port 2 has addressed.
Fits a wide range of collections:
2x kayak setup: Drop the center post to full extension and you'll have 18" of height between ceiling and arms; plenty of height for kayaks. Each of the 2 posts is individually mounted so kayak length won't be an issue, whether you have a 10' fishing kayak or 18' sea kayak.
Fit your wide kayak: The removable arms extend 30" from the center post and attach at a slightly upward angle. This allows you to confidently place your kayaks on either side and ensure firm support.
150 lb. capacity for large collections: Store up to 75 lbs. per side, plenty of support for your standard kayaks and enough to allow SUPs to be stacked.
3-point adjustability:
Extension/retraction post minimizes space used: The center post can drop down to maximize storage (18" board/boat space from ceiling), or retract (10" board/boat space from ceiling) to allow for greater clearance beneath the rack. Mounting holes at approximately 1" intervals allow for your optimal setup. "Low bridge" clearance (maybe you want to park a car beneath the rack?) is approximately 12" below the ceiling.
90 degree mounting rotation to use on any ceiling: This is a big one since kayaks and boards can be very long and garages have joists that only run in one direction. The Hi-Port 2 opens up new possibilities by allowing you to mount the rack with arms running either parallel or perpendicular to the ceiling rafters.
Removable, padded arms: If only using one side, allows the post to be mounted against a wall.
Heavy duty, steel construction:
NEW (2018) upgraded Listening to customer feedback, we've upgraded our hardware to heavy duty screws that install easier.
Suitable for outdoor use: Coated steel components will hold up against the elements, so go ahead and mount under a deck or boathouse.
"No slip" padding: Full length arm padding won't slip or roll, but will grip your boards or kayaks.
Gated pins prevent accidental movement: Post pins lock in place with an integrated gate to fully secure the posts.
