Default Camper shell hoist

Anybody out there with some real world experience using a camper shell
hoist? I have a Leer fiberglass camper shell on the back of my pickup
and I'd love to easily remove it and store it above the truck in the
garage. Any recommendations of good manufacturers and/or brands to
avoid? Any experience using one? How solid are they? Can I feel safe
dangling my shell above the hood of my truck 10' in the air?
Thoughts?????

I use 4 cargo straps and 2 cross bars to hoist mine up to the garage
