My ceiling would exceed the 12 foot distance this handles. Can i just upgrade with longer rope to extend the maximum ceiling height?

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Just make sure the rope is the same guage or it may get stuck.

I would think so. However, keep in mind this is a straight pulley system. It takes some muscle to hoist anything of weight.

My garage ceiling is only 9 ft, however there is excess rope. If you require a longer rope, it appears to me that replacing the shipped rope would be relatively easy.

YES, but ceiling should be in 8-12 foot range. DO NOT use the Velcro provided, use screws provided. Hope this helps.

Mine was extended to about 7 feet, but based on the product description, it looks like it extends to 114 inches or 9.5 feet, so you are out of luck with the 12.5 ft ceiling.

Not sure how long rope is. It was plenty long for my 2-story home. Haven't used the kit in 5 years now.

The handle is about 40 inches long when fully extended, if you point the fuzzy end straight up that adds another 10 inches. I can reach all of my ceilings with only the handle extended and the fuzzy pad at a 90 degree angle. My ceilings are a bit taller than newer houses have and I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall.

Add roughly 2ft 10 inches to your height and thats how long the rope should be. Another way to adjust would be by standing straight while stepping on the rope under one foot. The end tip of the handle should reach your armpit while your arm is extended out horizontally. Hope this helps. If anything, there are good videos on YouTube on how to do it.

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.

Yes, there is an extension available from Cavaliere. I got the extension for a 12 ft. ceiling. If you contact Cavaliere they should be able to send you an extension kit for your ceiling.

Hi-It's 61" end-to-end, and 14.5" wide. Including the pulley system and hardware on the rack itself for hanging, I think the closest you could raise it up to the ceiling is ~8". There is a very long rope included with a cleat that you mount on the wall for securing it, so you could raise/lower it to whatever height you want, there aren't any pre-set limits for that. Basically, you tie the rack to the rope, then wind the rope through the pulleys you mount in the ceiling, then you can smoothly raise/lower it to the height you want, then wind the rope around the cleat you put on the wall to keep it from moving after that.

It has been over a year since we installed three of these in our business. I know for sure they are adjustable, but I want to say there is a minimum of length you have to use. I can't say with a guarantee, but I do not believe it will shorten to 12 inches. I want to say 24 inches. I'd check for you, but ours our mounted high in an open ceiling concept that required a lift to install. Just remember that your TV will extend above the mounting bracket and depending on the size of TV, you may not have a 12 inches to play with.

Yes you don't have to extend it to the full reach. Confirm that the minimum extension is under 3ft and you should be okay. On my rod it was. It's a great product for the price, good luck to you.

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.

Online manual lists lifting height as 117" (9.75'). I don't think it has a long enough cable for 14' ceilings.

If necessary you can raise the entire unit 7-8 inches using leg extensions, sold separately for 10 bucks. I did this because I have high ceilings, and it worked like a charm. I really love this piece.

You might need a little more space. I did mine in a space approximately 7'x10' and it was a little tight but I made it work. The important thing is having a high enough ceiling to jump rope under.

I would question how stable the lift would be at that height. I used mine on a standard 8 foot ceiling without any help from anyone. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

I bought 2 of the two pack and the rope is plenty long even for a 15 feet ceiling. I have 11ft ceiling and when I bring the hooks down to attach to the bikes my rope are dragging on floor by a few feets so if you have 15 ft ceiling you will have enough rope.
