Question Canopy Lift

Wondering if anybody knmows a source for a canopy removal system. The kind where you can connect, lift it up and up to the rafters in your shop/garage.

Do you mean a pick-up bed cap?

Most people seem to use a simple rope and pulley set-up attached to 2x4's slid under the cap after the anchors have been detached. Probably $50 worth of stuff from your local home center.

I have a Rack attached to my Canopy, and a Stainless steel eyebolt at each end. Easy way to attach ropes and pullys and lift off.

Canopy Lift

I use a Canopylift from Canopy Lifting Systems in the UK.Worth a look at their website www.canopyliftingsystems.co.uk. It is easier to use than a sling system as you can store where you like.

Plus, you can use the removal rack or hoist system for Jeep Wrangler hardtops (Ex: Hoist-A-Top) on just about any truck bed cap/topper/canopy. They probably make ones just for pickup trucks.
