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

Works perfect for my needs. Clear instructions if you use a little pre-planing common sense. In my case I got sick and tired of carrying my bicycle up a narrow staircase to my 2nd floor Apt. However the narrow landing from the last step to the front door is only about 3ft and the door opens inward, so if you have something like bicycle (or even a bag of groceries in your arms its a real juggling and balancing act to open/close the door as the width of the entry is also not much more wider than the door itself. Hence this is sooooo much nicer and makes a great conversation piece when I point it out to someone visiting. Im 59yo, so this saves a lot of back braking awkward lifting and struggling up the stairs w/a 40+lb. bicycle. I do have concerns about the locking mechanism pinching on the nylon cord it comes with. Over time it may cause wear and fraying which could eventually snap/break, so I suggest inspecting the cord very closely on a regular basis.

This product is everything it is claimed to be. Well made, finish is great, well designed, and delivered on time. It deserves a nearly perfect score. The only problem is, there should be better instructions for the layout, AND suggestions on how to handle ceiling mounting without studs close to the desired mounting area. Fortunately I am reasonably good at pre-visualize practical clearance issues, and did well in solid geometry. Without those skills, it would have been a very difficult install. For example, how far away from a wall would they recommend mounting this, due to handlebar clearance issues? What about double mounting for 2 bikes? I had several re-mounts because I had guessed wrong on the latter. Like I said, a great product, but be sure to think out actual fitment BEFORE you start mounting this. Plan on a few hours of work if your garage is pretty well packed, like mine. If you have a lot of open real estate, its a breeze.

Wow. I had reservations about buying this Bicycle Hoist because I had seen basically the same product listed for much more money... In the back of my mind I was wondering what I was giving up by not spending the extra money. So far, I cant see what Im missing. I think this bike hoist is awesome! It only took about 15 minutes to install, and putting my bike away using the hoist only takes about 15 seconds!

Its working great and very easy to install Im glad I purchased this item. I would recommend this item to and have done it already to family and friends

The bike lift is great. Easy to install and works very well. Like others I replaced the screws with some of my own and also replaced the rope. Initially I used their rope but it frayed very easily. That said, a few screws and a new rope isnt much expense for a lift that works well and creates much needed space in the garage.

Good product. Arrived as advertised. Product easy to install with good instructions included. Zeaz

Im glad to find this ceiling-mounted bike lift now comes with a much improved braided cord. Id recommend this bike mounting arrangement if you have the ceiling height in your garage. I have a 9-foot ceiling and Id recommend that be the minimum to provide sufficient clearance over the car or van. Ive bought and installed an older versions of this ceiling-mounted bike lift liked it in spite of the older coarser braided cord. The pulley mechanism is simple and easy to operate. Installation tip: I found it easier to pre-drill pilot holes into the studs first before fastening the brackets down with screws using a cordless drill with a clutch. Spacing the brackets approximately 30 inches apart should be adequate for most bikes.

This is an excellent product and easy to install. I have purchased three of the bike lifts and found them all to be high quality including the ropes. Not sure what the fuss is about the ropes. I have hung two mountain bikes and one road bike. All three work perfectly.

It works without a glitch.

Very happy with product. Installed easily and works great. Installed in the garage and keeps the bike out of the way.
