Racor - PBH-1R, Bike Storage, Garage Pulley Lift

this product definitly freed up space in our garage. Luckily I read previous reviews and went out and bought better screws which was an additonal $20 for good ones. We also mounted these on 2x4s which I think helped alot as our garage ceiling it so high and my husband is not to good with heights. I think it is also a plus to get an extra set of hands to help. The rope did fray as previous reviewers stated but all in all the bikes are up and staying. If you have a really nice car you may worry about these being suspended over head but knock on wood so far so good.

Installation was easy. Instructions are adequate and the provided screws are large enough to support the weight of your bike. Make sure to drill a pilot hole before screwing in the mounting brackets. I have installed 4 of these in our garage for our bikes and our sons big wheel. It wasnt necessary for the big wheel, but he was really excited about having his bike hung, so he wanted the big wheel up there as well.

When you try to pull it up one side goes up faster than the other, i.e. it doesnt balance itself. Worse, the rope will occasionally slip into the gaps on the sides of the pulleys and get stuck! POS. Would not buy again.

This hoist is not fancy. The build quality is moderate. The instructions are legible and easy to follow. You dont need to screw the two mounts into studs. You can use high quality dry wall anchors like Toggler Snaptoggles and you will be fine.

greatest way to save more space in my garage...all bikes hovering just over my head, perfect

Perfect! Easy to install.

Okay so I am using it to hang a kayak (34 lbs) from the ceiling of my garage. Just putting the hooks into the handles on either end and i works seamlessly. I especially like the automatic locking feature on the last pulley. It makes it so easy to pull up by yourself. Super easy to lower right onto the rack on the car, and when I get back just pull right back up. No need to drag the boat out from under the house (where I used to keep it) and lug it to the driveway and have to heave it to the center of the car. (out of breath just thinking about it) Really makes me want to get on the water more because it is just so easy.

Works great. Easy to install and use. Frees up a lot of garage space. I have six of them.

Works great!

Although the instructions were a little lacking, I like this product. They said to measure the distance from the front of the handlebar 7 to the rear of seat and use that measurement to locate the hangers on the ceiling. They neglected to tell you HOW to use the measurement but I figured it out. On the rear hanger (2 pulleys) mark a spot with a sharpie, centered between the 2 pulleys. Now attach the rear hanger to the ceiling, be sure your rear tire will clear any obstructions (like... a wall! :). The measurement will be the distance from the centering mark on the rear hanger to the forward most hole on the front hanger. It took me about 1/2 hour to hang the 1st one and about 10 minutes to hang the 2nd. I now have 2 bikes off the floor of the garage and out of the way. Great product!! Check it out for yourself!!
