ABSTRACT:
A truck cap hoisting system includes a winch, at least one pulley, at least two support channels, at least two lifting strap assemblies, and a lifting line. The truck cap lifting system is preferably installed in a garage. The winch and a guide pulley are attached to a wall of the garage. The lift pulley is attached to a ceiling or an overhead beam. The lifting line is fastened to a lift ring and a reel of the winch. Each lifting strap assembly is threaded through one end of the at least two support channels. The truck cap is hoisted off the pick-up truck by first placing spacers between the truck box and the truck cap and sliding support channels in the gap. The same procedure is repeated for the opposite side. Four S-hooks extending from the at least two lifting assemblies are attached to the lift ring. The winch is then rotated until the truck cap is hoisted to a suitable height. The at least two support channels could be eliminated by forming at least four slots in the bottom of the truck cap sides. The lifting strap assemblies would be threaded through the slots in the bottom of the truck cap sides. Support lines may be attached to the sides of the truck cap instead utilizing strap assemblies and slots. The truck cap hoisting system may be modified to accommodate the removal of a water craft from the top of a vehicle by attaching support bars to each end of the support channels. A canoe hoisting system utilizes the yokes of a canoe to lift thereof.
