Canopy Lifting & Storing mechanism

[herman916]

Hi

Does anybody know of a mechanism that I can use for lifting (/dropping) my canopy from my Hilux? I'd like something I can mount to my garage roof/walls with some kind of winch that i can lift my canopy and store it in that position until i need to fit it again, as most of the time I will need to attempt it on my own. It will also help with storage space!

Do you want to buy one or make one?

There is a co that sells them for lifting your canopy for about R1500 (SA4X4 Mag)or so, but can easily be made

Hi guys,

There is a SA based company that makes specialised hoists for this purpose: http://www.fredlin.co.za/documents/hoists.html

I recently saw one of these advertised on GumTree for R600!

I sommer bought some small pulleys and nylon rope from Mica R100 for the lot. Think I used 10 puleys. I pul it by hand easily. Hoist it onto garage roof

Ek het Desember 'n plan gemaak met 'n hand winch:

1) Lengte lip channel wat tussen 2 dak balke strek, waarop staal hek se wieletjie gesweis is (as pulley) met gat groot genoeg vir die kabel om deur te gaan.
2) Nog 'n pulley (wielietjie soos hierbo) is teen die muuur gemount bo die katrol (hand winch)
3) Hand winch met ongeveer 5mm dik wire rope/kabel op bracket teen muur
4) 2 lengtes 10mm square tubing wat onder deur canopy gaan
5) 2 X straps (van tie down materiaal) met 'n lus in die middel (haak aan knip aan kabel), en lussies waardeur square tubing druk.

Totale koste:
Hand winch kompleet met kabel = R250
2 Hek rollers/wiele = R60
Lip channel = scrap in my w/shop
Custom Straps = R60
