According to Amazon this hoist can be used on ceilings up to 9ft, my garage is 10ft, whats the reason for the 9ft limitation?

The length of rope that hangs down when the hoist is lowered (for you to grab). If you are talk it will be OK, alternatively you can exchange the rope for longer or us a step stool.

I would imagine the limitation has something to do with the length of the rope that comes with it. My ceiling is 9' 6" and the hoist works just fine. Worst case scenario: you may have to buy a longer rope, but I would bet the hoist works just fine in your garage, too.

It only comes with 50' of rope, just enough rope for 9'. You'll need more rope

I was able to put it up in my garage which has 10.5 foot ceiling. The rope is long enough to do the job and I have not had any problems with the hoist.

I haven't had any ceiling height issues at all -- not even a close issue whatsoever. Mine is stored in the garage, which is the standard 2-car garage attached to the house. I'm thoroughly enjoying this tool organizer. Hope this info helps you.

I'm 5'11" and my rack is hanging from a 10' ceiling. If you can't reach, you can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some chain to bring the rack closer to you.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend which lives in Illinois in 2012. He attached it to ceiling in an 'outside' garage which is not climate controlled. He does have a heat source but only uses it (heat) periodicly while doing small projects in the garage. He has had 'no' issues with hoist!

Yes - we have a 10' ceiling and it works great. I'm fairly tall so we're not even using the full length of the links.

Some garage doors are taller than others. This opener is designed for a lower door. My doors are 8 feet and considered high. I purchased 2 of these for my 8 foot doors. They work beautifully but I do lose about 10 inches of overhead clearance when they are fully open. It's not a deal breaker for me because I'm not driving an SUV or some other taller vehicle. You can buy an extension to accommodate a taller door but for me these are perfectly fine. The bottom line is if you purchase this for an 8 foot door your door will only open about 90% unless you get the extension. My 8 foot door opens just over 7 feet.

Yea my garage was a similar height. It comes with an adjustable strap that connects to the tie down point. I went to Home Depot and bought a closed loop hook and attached it to the ceiling with big screws.

I don't have measurements but my ceiling is also low my Jeep is lifted with 31" tires so the roof will hang on the hoist only inches above the height it already is when it is still on the Jeep. It's much better than having the roof sitting on the ground but not much help if you wanted to work in the garage or save garage space. Although it is amazing how effortlessly the roof can be removed & put back on using the hoist.

The ceiling in my garage is 10' high and there is plenty of room for adjustment in the basic set-up so I believe you will be OK. The kit also comes with an extension strap that could be utilized if needed.

For me out of the box, the pull chain was not long enough. I have more than 10' high ceilings in my bedrooms. This is enough for a small bedroom. There are pull extensions that can be bought at Home Depot, Lowes and even Walmart with different colors to match what you have.

My garage ceiling is 8' 3", and I have the unit flush-mounted to the ceiling. I am 5'7" tall. If I lower my kayaks to the point that I can disengage the straps from the pulley hooks and then grasp the rope with my slightly outstretched arm and twirl it once around my hand for security (you need to pull on the ropes equally so that the loops stay level, else you'll dump your yak which could be both embarrassing and damaging) in preparation for pulling up again, there is 6' left in the trailing loop of the supplied rope. Also, I draw my yaks up as far as possible to be able to walk beneath them. Considering that you have a 14' ceiling, you probably don't need to draw it up to the ceiling as tight. So I would say that chances are excellent that it would work with a 14' ceiling. Even if not, you would need only buy a longer piece of rope to substitute for the one supplied.

I can't give you a 100% guarantee that it will reach 9 ft because I have it installed in a bedroom with an 8 foot ceiling, but my installation didn't use the bigger of the 2 attachments. I can't speak from experience, but I can DEFINITELY imagine the pole reaching 9 foot without any concerns. (There is also an insert that offers the purchase of other extenders for higher ceilings) I have used the pole in both static and revolving mode, and I would absolutely recommend it. There is NO wiggle (which is what I was concerned about)

I have it installed in my 275cm ceiling, which is about 9 foot. I am not sure it will run to 12"6 (ays 9.5 foot / 114 inches on the specs) as it will get pretty flimsy extended much further than it is on mine. It does work great though. Real space saver. If you can find another space in your apartment then go for it. Excellent value.

You shouldn't have any problem with that. Mine work great on my 9' ceilings in the house.

I don't think it does. My garage ceiling is roughly 9 ft. and I am 5' 11" ... and I have plenty of room when I use it. If you're in an 8 ft. ceiling home within the home, keep in mind the machine from floor to top of the monitor is 7 ft. I'm not saying you can't but good luck trying to get the machine inside your home, basement... etc., it's a beast. My garage is perf. along with weights and matt. Good luck.
