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

Works fine. I have four of them installed in my garage. I have one heavy, steel tandem bike that it is holding up. But Im a little concerned about the strength of the rope. Will probably need to replace that sometime.

Good way to store those cycles during the winter or between those long bicycle trips. Also a good way to raise the bike off the floor, to a convenient height for chain, gear and wheel maintenance. Bicycle remains level and under control with the nylon rope provided. Easily installed to the overhead in garage, etc. Great prices available through Amazon.com!

This holds my kayak in my garage. The only thing I would suggest to anyone holding anything other than a bike is to upgrade the line. It frays easily and, under considerable weight, will probably break.

I have previously purchased two of these items at a bicycle shop out of town. They are excellent....I now have four. To use over your car in a garage the ceiling must be at least 11-12 feet high for an adult to walk under the hanging bicycle. Movement up and down is safe, smooth and secure. Rope locking system is safe and easy to initiate. To be doubly sure, rope can then be looped over the wall bracket too. Amazon price on these was less than half that which I paid in the bicycle shop.....and the shop had run out and couldnt remember the brand or supplier. Amazon to the rescue! Have someone hold the ladder and be sure to orient correctly and screw into the ceiling joist when installing, of course.

This thing is great! I installed it for my wife’s bike so she could reach it off the ceiling. It was super easy to install and easy to lower and raise it. I can try to take a video soon but I do recommend it! Some people said the hooks didn’t fit well but they worked on her bike.

I have 2 of these bike lifts, and they actually work pretty well after you get them up. As others have noted, the ropes look like theyre fraying. We havent replaced ours yet, but I expect to do that in the future. We also needed to buy some alternate/additional screws for mounting. (These two issues are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.) They need to be mounted into wood, which may be a bit difficult if the ceiling joists run in the wrong direction for you (like mine did). You cant just put them anywhere unless you have a -really- high ceiling - theyll hang down about a 12-18 inches PLUS the height of the bike. Given that, our garage isnt high enough to mount them just anywhere, so we had to put ours parallel to a wall. This required me to add support boards on the ceiling with some heavy duty lag bolts. This was more work than hanging the Racors themselves. However, after you get them up, they work just fine. Raising and lowering the bikes is reasonably easy, and they stay solidly in place without fear of them falling. One final note - the hooks are probably going to go under the seat and under the handlebars. Make sure you dont have any brake cables or other things in those areas that would prevent you from using the hooks.

Easy to install, comes with simple instructions and everything you need. the brackets that attache to the ceiling come with multiple holes, so you can change the orientation as needed. great for getting bikes (or other bulky items) off the floor and freeing up some garage space.

the product is good and for the price on amazon, it is great. the locking unit works very well and im not worried at all about the bikes falling. Very easy to use, once installed. Cons: - installation cud have been a little easier. and you need to ensure u either put them into beams, or nail up a 2x4 into the beams, then screw the mounts into the 2x4. The odds are not good on a typical adult mountain bike that the mounts will match up w/ yr beams. Build extra time for installation. - the hooks cud catch a little better. the hooks for the seat of the bike dont sit too well, and when the bike is hanging 3 foot over your favorite car in the garage, u dont want to be nervous. Overall, i do recommend the product. and the cons arent that big a deal. installation isnt too bad, as long as u are competent, and the hooks work, but they cud be better.

Installation would have been a breeze if the ceiling joists had been running the way I needed. But after I got the mounting surface fixed up, installing the 2 parts was easy. Be careful to line them up of course. The rope hasnt frayed and Ive used it many times just in the week its been up. I really thought it would cause me to use my bike less, but its so easy to lower and raise the bike it hasnt. Great price and a great product.

as advertized. still work after a few years
