5 Top Rated Questions
do you have any way of mounting the crank on a side wall?
-
The Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top can be mounted with the crank on the side wall. The package will come with the optional sidewall mount instructions.
Will this mount to a slanted ceiling by self adjusting the cables to be shorter in the back and longer up front..thanks
-
This could mount to a ceiling with a slant however, the mounting would be slightly different since the weight distribution will change. This kit however there will not be 2 cables, there is only 1 which make it easier to have the weight distributed.
Can I get just the bars with hooks?
-
At this time, we only offer the Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top as a complete kit.
Would this not work for a JL? Seems pretty straightforward and the tops are very similar...
-
This Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top is specifically intended for the JK Wrangler hard tops. This will not properly support the JL hardtops and will require the Lange Hoist-a-Top for the JL Wrangler to properly work.
I have a 16' garage ceiling. Will this kit work with my ceiling height, or will it need to be modified?
-
This kit will work with your 16 foot ceiling. It is made to be compatible with ceiling heights ranging between 7 and 20 feet high.

-
- Repeating an unanswered question. Is there a recommended maximum duration for storage on the hoist? or is it not recommended to leave it? 1 answer
-
-
There is no maximum period or duration for storing a hard top with this hoist. The hoist features extremely strong steel frame that will hold up for many seasons of use and storage.
-
- Does this include all three pulleys as shown in the video? Second, is there a recommendation as to how long you can keep the hard top suspended so it does not harm the top or molding? 1 answer
-
-
This top hoist will come with all pulleys shown in the installation video. As to the time frame can hang lange does not have a recommended time frame. Some people will keep this suspended through an entire season or when using a soft top or other set up.
-
- Can the ceiling mount be turned 90 degrees and the crank be installed on a side wall? 1 answer
-
-
The ceiling mount does not have the ability to be turned 90 degrees. The crank can be installed on a side wall. It will come with optional side wall mount instructions.
-
- My garage ceiling joists are perpendicular to the wall studs. Is there an installation video or instructions for this setup? 1 answer
-
-
We do not have an installation video from our product team, or a supplied install guide from Lange. We recommend reaching out to Lange directly for install instructions or peruse the internet for DIY install videos.

- Was just wondering if you guys changed the product a bit to fit the new JL. I have a 2017 JK. Haven't installed it yet. Just don't have that back bar and different hook for the back from the pictures you guys have on here. If so you should update it. Did you guys just replace that back bar with the foam ? 1 answer
-
-
No, this Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top is specifically for the 07-18 Wrangler JK models.
-
- Lange told me in an email just a day ago that they will not release a JL compatible Hoist-a-Top until April 9. They said they have a modification to be compatible with the rear of the JL top, which is different from the JK. How does Extreme Terrain have this in stock before Lange has released it? 1 answer
-
-
This Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top (Item J20514) is not compatible with the JL models.
-
- You list this as fitting the new 2018 Wrangler JL. Lange's website says they don't have a hoist for the new model yet. Can you confirm this would fit a 2018 Wrangler JL Sahara Unlimited? 1 answer
-
-
The Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top is compatible with the new Wrangler JL hard top.
-
- does the back window have to open or "up". 1 answer
-
-
The Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top will not require the rear window to be open in order to lift the top off or store it.
-
- I have an 7'1" ceiling in my garage. I realize the min height says 7' but is that a "real" 7'? Any caveats with such short clearance? 1 answer
-
-
Hello! The reason that the minimum height is set at 7' is because anything less than that, you would not have enough clearance to get your top off of your jeep. That height is truly 7', so with your 7'1" ceiling you will have enough clearance to get your top off without any issues at all.

Hand crank is a lot of work
So first off I love the hoist it works as described. Installation was easy with no surprises(watch the YouTube video. But I Hate the hand crank.... it’s loud(squeals) and takes way longer than I had expected. I WILL be upgrading to an automatic crank.

The foam is flimsy..
The foam holders for the t tops is very flimsy...they need to be made out of a stronger material. Had to put duct tape all over it to make it look and work

Great, but....Instruction Revisions Required
The Good - The hoist and lifting frame work great! The Must - Watch Lange's instructional video. Use a battery operated drill/driver and a 19mm socket instead of the provided crank. The Bad - The instructions need some revisions. There are a couple of pages that show erroneous dimensions or use of screw types. For instance, when mounting the crank support board (2x6) it shows using lag bolts(4), but only 2 lags are provided. The 2 lag bolts are for mounting the crank to the support board(2x6). Next, Lange only provides 13 (12 1) 3in. screws for mounting the support boards (2x6's), but 4 support boards are required, 4 screws per board plus and extra should be 17 (4x4=16 1=17). Lastly, the directions show the rear pulley placement equal to the back of the top's location. This is erroneous as the rear frame lifting location = the rear pulley location does not correspond to the rear of the top.

Review from Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top (87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ & TJ)
Nice system
The item works however the fact that the rear window must stay open when lifted was not obvious when i ordered it. As a result this means it takes up extra space and can not be hung to close the rear wall in my garage. However it still works very well and over all I am pleased.

Works as advertised
Installation was pretty easy. I couldn't get it to balance so had to drill a new hole to lift back of the top. The worm gear cranks slowly but works much better with a electric drill and a socket on the nut that holds on the crank

Works as advertised
This thing works well. It was pictured in a video or pic with the winch mounted to the side but instructions are for front or back only. I couldn’t do this. I fudged with bought swivel pulleys to mount the system sideways. Used all the same front/back measurements. Works Great! I think the provided pulleys are the weak link in the system.

Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top Installation
The directions for the installation were good and we had it put together and installed in about 3 hours. My problem with the setup is that does not raise the top level. We tried adjusting the length of the wires several times. The back side with the window is heavier than the front. So the pulley winds tighter causing the back to be lower than the front. Also the gear ratio on the crank is awful. It takes a lot of cranking to move this from the floor.

not quite right
Really not sure if I was sent the wrong item. It was not long enough front to back to fit my 4 door top. It works, BUT not quite right. The instructions could definitely be better for install. OK but not great.

It’s just okay...
It does the job... but for some reason the hardtop weight distribution is uneven... both front to rear and side to side... instructions aren’t the best (the video on your site and the Lange site are not exactly the same). I actually thought yours was better... Hand crank sucks... tried using my impact gun, now I need a new one... I would suggest the power model if your garage height is tall enough. Solved all my problems by attaching two ratchet straps to four eye hooks and leveled it off that way... $20 fix... and piece of mind...

Great concept
Not bad for the price but I thought it would be more sturdy. Hanging was a challenge on 12’ ceilings but finally completed. Added extra everything to keep sturdy and braced straight.

Good buy
Online video from XT and from Lange not the best, but eventually got it all figured out and working well. About 4 hours, most of the time is getting the studs set correctly.

Hoist works well, not too difficult to install. Takes a lot of hand cranks to raise. When not lifting hard top and raising the hoist I use my hand drill and it goes fast. Overall very happy.

So Much Easier!
The Crank Hoist-a-Top makes removing and storing the hardtop a breeze. I've got a 14ft ceiling in garage. Could've used about 5-6 more feet of cable to make the initial lift easier. Love it none-the-less.

Great Product! Very Happy.
The quality was great. Easy to follow instructions and install in just a few hours. Working as I expected. The only thing I had trouble with was one of the illustrations and it caused me to install the single off center pulley on the wrong side of center. But that was fairly easy to fix. Just frustrating.
