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

Love it works great. Had a shoulder replaced and this is just what I needed.

Not too difficult to mount, not too expensive, and easy to use. A great product. Too bad I have to type more words.

For the money you can not go wrong. We have two of them in the gargage and couldnt be more happier.

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.

I cant compare this to other similar bike lifts since Ive never tried any others. But this does seem to be fairly well made and does the job well. Im so happy to get the bike out of the way in the garage. Some reviewers complained about the quality of the rope but I think its fine. I also really like the safety mechanism which automatically grabs the rope to stop the bike from falling on its own. The bike can only be lowered if the rope is held and pulled in a specific way, which is a great safety feature. A couple of notes about installing: (1) The pilot hole size recommended in the instructions is too small. Instructions call for a 1/8 pilot hole into the wood stud. When I drilled the holes this size, I could not screw the screws in. In fact I twisted the head right off one of the screws trying. So I had to go up a couple of drill bit sizes to get a pilot hole that was snug but in which the screw would actually fit. (2) You cannot install this in a sheetrocked garage unless you have a proper stud finder. You absolutely need to screw into studs or this will not be safe. Installation took me about an hour including carefully planning the location of the lift, finding the studs, drilling new holes after I twisted the head off a screw, etc.

After the headache of an install onto the ceiling of my garage (tall garage; drywall); these bike racks work wonders. I bought 2 after seeing a neighbor had a similar lift. Thinking itd be good for our bikes I quickly got em and tried to install them (Note tried). It took a little while to figure out the best way to get them onto the garage ceiling, though after the struggle in the install, Im loving the space. They easily lift each bike smoothly and the lock mechanism is simple; just like a window blind. The rope so far has held up though is rough on the hands when sliding through your grip. Overall, these bike lifts are great. They are well worth the hassle of installing them, and some may have an easier time with studs exposed in the garage.

Have two, works great.

I was skeptical about these types of mounts but at my new house I have very high ceilings and wanted to get them out of the way. These worked great!

EASY TO INSTALL, WORKS GREAT, DIRECTIONS COMPREHENSIVE AND SIMPLE. THE ROPE LOOKS A BIT SHABBY BUT IT DOES THE JOB (SURE HOPE IT CONTINUES AS I DONT NEED THE BIKES FALLING ON MY ANTIQUE AUSTIN HEALEY. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE IMPRESSED, I LIKELY AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL SALES FOR THE COMPANY. DID I MENTION, BRING PRICE RANGE FOR THESAE PRODUCTS, YOU DONT NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO GET A BETTER VALUE.

I have two other lifts for my kayaks that work great. this one only has one rope which you are supposed to pull down to release the break, but if you are pulling down to release the break the bike will not drop because you are holding the rope.
