Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can the GG8220CK lift?
It’s rated for up to 220 lbs, enough for a single kayak or canoe, or a comparable load of paddle sports gear on the included straps.
What ceiling heights does it fit?
The GG8220CK accommodates ceilings from 9 to 15 ft., with a 12 ft. lifting height and a 9 ft. bar width.
How fast does it raise the load?
The motor lifts at 30 ft. per minute, so a kayak or canoe goes from floor to ceiling in well under a minute.
What’s included for securing the kayak or canoe?
Two adjustable 8 ft. straps (32 mm wide) attach to the 9 ft. lift bar to cradle and secure your boat while it’s raised or lowered.
Is this safe to install and use myself?

What voltage does the motor need?
It runs on standard 120V / 60Hz household power and draws 4.5 amps.
Is it rated for outdoor use?
No, the GG8220CK is designed for indoor use, such as an attached or enclosed garage.
Does it come with an assembly guide?
Yes, a full assembly PDF with diagrams is included and linked on this page.
Can I use this to lift other gear besides boats?
The straps and bar are sized for kayaks and canoes, but the lift also works well for other aquatic gear and paddle sports equipment within the 220 lb limit.
