Gared electric hoists give gyms, schools, and recreation facilities a motorized way to raise and lower curtains and other suspended equipment without manual pulleys, cranks, or ladders. JoySportStore carries two Gared models built for this job: the Electric Curtain Hoist for straightforward gym divider curtain control, and the Electric Hoist with Wireless Remote Control 1197 for facilities that want push-button operation from courtside. Prices for these facility equipment controllers span $708 to $2,742, depending on the control method and configuration your gym requires.

View full detailsA facility equipment controller like the ones in this collection replaces manual hand-crank systems with an electric motor that raises and lowers gym curtains and similar overhead equipment on demand. Gared is the brand behind both hoists in this collection, and the two models cover two common ways gyms operate this equipment: a standard electric hoist and a wireless remote-controlled hoist. Whether you're outfitting a new gymnasium or replacing an aging hand-crank curtain system, an electric hoist cuts down on the labor and time it takes staff to reconfigure a gym floor between activities.
The two products in this collection differ mainly in how they're operated. The Gared Electric Curtain Hoist is built specifically to raise and lower gym divider curtains electrically, giving facilities a motorized alternative to a manual pulley system. The Gared Electric Hoist with Wireless Remote Control 1197 adds a wireless remote to the hoist mechanism, letting staff control the lift from a handheld unit instead of a wall-mounted switch. That added convenience is reflected in the price difference across the collection, which currently spans $708 to $2,742.
| Model | Control Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Gared Electric Curtain Hoist | Electric, switch-operated | Gyms adding motorized curtain control at a fixed control point |
| Gared Electric Hoist with Wireless Remote Control 1197 | Electric with wireless remote | Facilities that want to operate the hoist from anywhere on the floor |
Both hoists are designed to be permanently mounted as part of a gymnasium's overhead equipment setup, similar to how a backstop or scoreboard hoist would be installed. Because these are electric, hard-wired facility fixtures, installation typically involves coordination with a licensed electrician or your facility's maintenance contractor to run power to the mounting point and confirm the ceiling structure can support the hoist and the curtain or equipment it will lift. If you're replacing an existing manual hoist, measure your current mounting hardware and curtain track before ordering so the new electric unit lines up with your gym's existing configuration.
For the wireless remote model, you'll also want to plan where the receiver is mounted and confirm there's a clear line of operation for the handheld remote across the areas of the gym where staff will need to control the curtain.
These controllers are built for school gymnasiums, recreation centers, and multi-purpose athletic facilities that regularly divide a gym floor with a curtain or need to reposition overhead equipment between events. If your facility currently relies on a manual crank system and staff spend time each day manually raising or lowering a divider curtain, the standard Gared Electric Curtain Hoist offers a simpler, switch-based upgrade. Facilities that manage multiple curtains or want operation flexibility from different spots on the court are better suited to the wireless remote model, despite its higher position in the $708–$2,742 price range for this collection.
Because this collection currently includes just two Gared models, comparing them side by side is straightforward: decide whether a fixed switch or a wireless remote better matches how your staff will operate the equipment day to day, then confirm your gym's mounting and electrical setup can accommodate the unit before you order.
