How close together could they be? Would the system still work if the two pulleys were about 2 feet from each other?

Not having tried that, I couldn't say definitively. I think for optimum performance, you should follow the manufacturers recommendation.

I see no reason why these can't be put 6 inches from each other. Mine are about 2.5 feet apart and work fine. It's better for the balance if the kayak if they're further apart. But it'll still work properly.
1883916
I would think so, but it might be a little unstable if it got bumped...all the support is in the centre. Keep the straps further apart and you should be fine. Hope that helps!

I don't know why you would want to do this. If whatever you are lifting is equally balanced on both ends, it should work. Might consider installing something on the kayak to hook the lifting bands farther toward the ends of the kayak so that most of the weight of the kayak is between the two lifting bands.

It might, I have mine about 3 feet apart because I have a shorter kayak and I found when I put the pulleys farther apart the hoop would slip off towards the end. The risk you run in to when putting the pulleys closer is that the kayak might end up slipping through both the hoops if it wasn't centered between the two.

See the chart at the bottom of this page. For my 11', I have a 4.5' separation of the pulleys.http://www.suspenzkayakstorage.com/kayak_storage_tips

No, it would cause you to be unable to get the kayak very high off the floor and your mechanical advantage would be compromised making you try to stretch the kayak...

I would not recommend placing the pulleys so close, if I was storing a kayak. My pulleys are over 6 feet apart, supports a larger kayak well, and can be single-handed.

yes, they are connected to each other. I don't know maximum separation distance. Mine are 4feet apart and work really well.

I would say maybe not, because you have to allow space on either side as working space. If it sat a little out from the corner it might work. Be sure to allow about 8' in front of the unit for working space, for the low pulley exercises.

I guess you can use it as close as 2 feet or even less. You can put the binding to any of the cross rods, even next to each other. It will depend on your usage if it will be safe and sturdy.

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

I wouldn't recommend it. The surface of the pulley isn't completely smooth so it could potentially damage synthetic line

I'm sure it could be done, but I would suggest first try putting a piece of electrical tape (or any tape for that matter) across it, if you could just weaken the pull a bit might do the trick.

It may work as long as you have places for the 3-hooks to go into and be able to pulling action on the pulley and pull it off. If you have some kind of lubricant to use on the shaft it may also help. Good Luck.

Hi,I attached mine to about a 5'-6' 2x4 first. I spread the 2 sets of pulleys about 18"-22" apart (although you could adjust it differently). I then straddled the set up between my 2x6 rafters. I have easily lifted about 50 lbs. They advertise (I think) a 100lb max. Good luck!Mike

I'm sure it depends on the use of the lights. We used them for stairwells and they are approximately 33" apart.

I have 2 of these pulleys and I use 3/8" rope and it works fine. Not sure how 1/2" would work, though. There doesn't seem to be much room when I am using 3/8".

The trolley is made up of one long cable so if you tried to attach two together, the pulley would get hung up and strand your pooch out in the middle. Not a good idea.

I would probably be able to attach them with hardware. If you want them to connect and match perfectly without any work, maybe not. Although, they might line up next to each other. Good luck to you.

Yes they can be linked together but keep in mind that the remote only reached the lights in a 30-40 foot radius. also the lights can be cut every 3 lights to make a 90 degree turn or change direction.

Mind are approximately 1/4" apart but I don't know whether or not they would work at 1/2".
1795925
I don't believe this would be possible. If two lines were somehow connected, then the wheel would become obstructed.

Just. The height of the two high points are 82" That leaves little room for working on the top pulleys.
