Racor Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift #PBH-1R
Manufacturer Description Not enough floor space in that garage, dorm, or studio apartment for the bike? Hoist it up high and store it out of the way with the ingenious bike lift from Racor. A unique rope locking mechanism prevents accidental release while the pulley design lightens the load for easy lifting. Bikes can be hoisted up to ceilings 12 feet high. Just secure the bike lift to the ceiling and you're set. Everything is included for installation with no assembly required. Best of all, solid steel construction safely lifts bikes weighing up to 50 pounds for easy storage of monstrous incumbents, two-seaters and more. With the Racor ceiling mount bike lift, you get more floor space-and easy access to your favorite ride! Reader Reviews I received two of these bike lifts as gifts. I installed them to replace my old "hooks-in-the-ceiling" method of hanging bicycles over my car. I had to take care to measure the height of the bicycle (adding a few inches for the pulleys) to ensure they cleared the car. I also measured the length of the bicycle to ensure it wouldn't be in the way of people walking around the car. Finally, I measured between the handlebars and seat so the pulleys were properly spaced. But once that was done, installation was a simple matter of drilling three pilot holes per pulley in a joist and screwing them in. Although the instructions say to tie a stop knot in the rope and thread it through the pulleys and hooks before installation, it's easier not to do that until after you've installed the pulleys. (I did tie a knot in the rope and run it through the hole before I installed the first pulley, but that that turned out not to be necessary because there's enough clearance to push the rope through afterwards.) Finally, I installed the cleats low enough to reach but high enough so people don't have to duck under the rope. Like some of the other reviewers, one of my ropes was frayed. (The other one was fine.) I wrote an e-mail to Racor and a vice-president responded almost immediately. I received a replacement rope two days later. Awesome! Conclusion: These lifts work very well, are easy to install, are reasonably priced, and are backed by excellent customer service. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
