So in the process of renovating and repairing my garage since a police chase ended into my garage, I want to finally get the hardtop out of my backyard and hang it in my garage. However I am looking for a wireless controlled hoist to raise it since I do not want a wired pendant dangling in the middle of everything. Has anyone used something like this for their hardtop?

I want to also drywall and insulate below the rafters and I want the hoist to be recessed for clearance reasons and get the hoist as close to the ceiling as possible. My finsihed ceiling height will be 12’ and ideally the hoist will be mounted 3’ above that in the rafters and making some kind of panel with a hole to hide the hoist above the finished ceiling. Anyone do something like that?

My winch was up in the rafters.
You could cut and extend the control wires down the side.

my lange power hoist controller hangs off to the side out of the way. as mentioned above it wouldn’t be hard to extend the wiring and mount your controller anywhere you like.
