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

Overall a good idea. I just installed two of these in about 30 minutes. My garage is nothing to brag about, your standard speck house 2 car garage (which means 2 barely fit). Ive got 2 adult mountain bikes hanging and Ive got 2 inches to spare between them and the roof of my 2003 Honda Accord beneath. The only issue I have is that the screws arent long enough. The brackets, when hanging parallel with joists, have a quarter inch gap between the metal and the ceiling, add the 1/2 inch drywall and youre only getting a quarter of the screw into the joist. Not very secure. Id recommend getting some longer wood screws.

The Racor PBH-1R is an economical, well-made bike lift. Our need was to hoist a cargo container and it can sufficiently handle the 30lb+ of current weight. It was easy to install. The medicore materials used (lightweight plastic, etc) may prove to sketchy for constant up and down usage but just a guess since we have had no issues- the price paid made it a good value.

It is a lighter weight capacity bike lift but works like any other one I have had before, which is just fine. It is easy to install as long as you insure you screw the lift plates securely to a truss through the drywall. I have found that the cleat sold with any bike lift I have bought is cheap and too small for the rope when the bike is lifted. I either buy a bigger one or use two 16d nails driven in at angles.

Great storage solution and even better when I realized you have to pull cord in opposite direction to lower bike. Easy install.

I modified this product to lift a childrens swing up and down at our child development center. It works great! Some folks have mentioned deficiencies in the rope and screws - As a general rule, I always use my own screws when I hang things like this, so I didnt even try the screws that came with this product. The rope, however, was fine! Its plenty long enough for whatever setup you have, and the only time it should fray is if you cut it. Overall, I think its great - seems well-built, its sturdy... Couldnt ask for more!

Great product. Works great to minimize clutter in your garage.

It was fairly easy to install and feels very sturdy holding my 30 pound mountain bike.

Like most in the marketplace. My gripe with others is that the rope frays with use and the release mechanism starts to hang up. Well se if this ones is any different...too soon to tell. Good price and great delivery.

This was a great item to use b/c it freed up floor space. I bought four of them and have all 4 bikes hanging from my 12 foot garage ceiling. The clearance is 6.8 (Six point eight) feet below the tires and its very easy to lower/raise them. Its like I dont have bikes even in the garage unless I look up. Option: 1. Screw a piece of 2 by 4 wood (approx. 45 inches long) to ceiling josh for pulley support/stability (use long screws not included). 2. Screw the bike pulleys to the 2 by 4 for easy mounting and sturdiness. This will work for any bike.

Perfect fit for my studio apartment! I installed this bike rack on my ceiling so I could free up some wall space in my tiny apartment. It works well because my ceiling is over 14 feet high. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because it didnt come with enough rope. No problema. I just tied another black rope to the end! This is actually a simple set-up; you just need someone to be able to do install it.
