Reviews for Lange Originals 014-GEN2 Hoist-A-Cart Gen 2 for 07-23 Jeep Wrangler JL & JK
Works great, holds our hard top all summer long and then holds our Bestop Trektop NX all winter long...
Facile à monter et a utiliser!
Je vis en France et Quadratec à été à la hauteur tout au long de la commande.
Reçu sans problème en décembre en plaine crise sanitaire.
J'ai monté de treuil le mois dernier et viens de démonter le hard top de ma wrangler jk ce week end, c'est un plaisir de pouvoir tout faire tout seul et c'est agréable de pouvoir stocker le hard top sur le chariot.
Fantastique!
Easy to assemble and use!
I live in France and Quadratec was up to the task throughout the order.
Received without problem in December in the health crisis plain.
I mounted a winch last month and just dismantled the hard top of my wrangler jk this weekend, it's a pleasure to be able to do everything alone and it's nice to be able to store the hard top on the cart.
Fantastic!
Ordered this lift in May and just received last week. Easy to assemble and definitely recommend watching the video beforehand. I have used the lift to take the top off last week and then put back on this morning. Wanted to wait to review until a full use. Have to say this was very easy to use by myself and lets me enjoy the best of both worlds with my Jeep with the hardtop and no top.
I had a short, packed garage. This lift fits in fine when compacting the crane arm down. My garage door height is just about 7 feet so the lift is not the issue - the top is (JLU). To solve and get past the door, I do have to swing the top down about 15 degrees until in the garage before standing it back up on the lift. Not a big deal at all and easily manageable by myself.
Know there are other brands out there (TLP) that cost more but get rave reviews. They just don't work for me in my garage and limited space. This is perfect for me and I would recommend. I see many topless days in my future and I couldn't be happier!
works great!
Fast shipping as usual from quadratec and hoist went together fairly easy and you tube videos helped a lot.. will see how it works, I like the build quality also..
Very simple installation. The printed instructions are easy to understand. Easy to use. A second person does make it easier for the first time. Nice and sturdy.
I had to lower and pivot the arm after top was removed because I have a low garage door. Not a big deal.
The manufacturer’s directions suck, but overall I’m satisfied with it. Looking forward to putting it to use.
This hardtop cart is REALLY nice. I only have a detached single car garage so I built an outside 10x8 patio with pavers and was thrilled that the casters are large and glide easily over the indentations between the pavers. I'll try to post a photo. Everything fits together precisely with the exception of the handle which is wobbly at best. But it still works and I'm not deducting stars for something so minor...just wanted to point it out because all other parts are a perfect fit. I'm hoping Lange comes out with a cover but for now a large tarp is on order. I don't know how the cart will hold up outside in the weather but we'll see...I think it's going to be ok. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to ask for help to remove/replace the top when I want. Not all of us have beautiful large garages to install the hoist systems so this is a perfect alternative. The instructions are pretty straight forward but I suggest watching the Lange videos for a few steps to ensure it's put together correctly. Speed need to apply to assembling this. Take your time and do it right. Thank you Lange!
Perfect all-in-one hoist and storage solution!
My garage is a tight fit. It was a 2 car garage but the previous owner built a little room for the laundry to make more room inside the house proper. This means with my tools, 3 ATVs, the JKU, my workbench and other stuff, there isn't enough room for the top to sit flat on the floor. Also, the garage roof is a vaulted ceiling so a cable hoist wouldn't work, and the open garage door is too close to the ceiling of the loft to allow a hard top to fit between.
I have been using a conventional storage cart for the top, but still had to rely on friends and family to help remove and install the hard top. This Hoist a Cart solves all of these problems!
The instruction manual seemed to be missing information about installing the crank winch to the cart but if you are even the least bit mechanically inclined, it should be self-evident as to how it installs. Overall the material quality and design are very well thought out and I am thoroughly impressed with the end result.
In my case since I already have the top removed, it took a bit of puzzling things out to get the top on the cart and the straps adjusted properly, but after getting everything adjusted, the top is on the cart and the crane is folded down for storage. It takes up only maybe an additional 6 or 8 inches than the previous cart, but the crane and winch arrangement make this so much more valuable. Best part is when everything is totally collapsed and stowed it fits under an 8 foot ceiling!
There are several different height positions for the crane arm so if you get a lift and tires, the hoist can grow with your jeep. This is a fantastic product and if it disappeared into thin air I'd buy another one as soon as I could afford it. Jeeps are about freedom, and the ability to take your hard top on and off by yourself definitely frees you up!
Great product! The online video was so simple to follow. I love that this product made it so that I have more space in my garage. Taking off the top used to be a major event: getting enough help to lift and then taking up a quarter of the garage storing it. Now, I can take off the top and store it in a corner of the garage by myself. Thanks and two thumbs up!!
