The Thule 571 Roof Mount Box Storage Lift is built well and works flawlessly. Read instructions carefully as the precise dimensioning must be followed. There is a little margin, but as an example, the inserts provided are for a cement/concrete application. I found that using large(50 lb) capacity sheet rock anchors, used to hang heavy pictures, worked very well. You can find them at any hardware store. Also prior to starting the installation, layout where your vehicle will be when mounting the roof box, then mark the ceiling with the boxes overall dimensions. This will help when installing the storage lift.

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.

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.

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.

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.
