Measure the object you are storing and multiply by 0.4 to determine how far apart you will install
ceiling plates A and L. For example, a 10 foot object would mean you install the ceiling plates 4 feet
apart (10 feet x 0.4 = 4 feet). You will install Ceiling Plate B past the end of the object you are storing
as shown in the image.
Plan and Install Parts
1
You must mount the Ceiling Plates to wood ceiling joists. Find the direction of your joists and deter-
mine where you will install the Ceiling Plates. Use the images to determine how you will install your
hoist and which holes you will use on the ceiling plates.
