Lange Originals Hoist-A-Top Simple Reviews
I purchased this in April of 2017. Install wasn't too bad and the pulley system worked well to store my hard top for the summer. Spring of 2018...same story...worked fine to store the top all summer long. Spring of 2019 when I set the straps in place and tried the crank, the gears/teeth of the crank were slipping. It couldn't pull the weight up. I had to have someone get in the jeep and lift up on the top ( kind of like doing a press) as I turned the crank to get it to lift at all. It held for the summer but I need to replace it as I just don't trust it. I checked my warranty and it only lasts for one year. For as much money as this cost, I think this piece of equipment should last more than 2 uses. Maybe look into something else before purchasing this.
After watching videos and taking the time to line cables, studs, and brackets up, product works great!
This product is hard to install, but so are all the other products so I am not taking any stars off for that. It is just how it it is with these hoists. I had to buy 16 lag bolts and 2x6's in order to install this, so be prepared to run to a hardware store at least once before installation. I see in many reviews the straps leave marks on the hardtop, but that has not been my experience. I will continue to monitor this though just in case. The metal line included is very strong, but does not wrap around the crank nicely, which is not too big of a deal. I removed a star because the instructions could be much better. Also the straps are hard to put on. You need to lift the top up to bolt them in, which doesn't make sense if this hoist is made for one person to remove the top and put back on.
