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

My garage only has 7 foot six inch ceilings. I mounted this to a two by four screwed perpendicular to three ceiling joists. Even with the 2X4 being 1.5 inches below the level of the ceiling, a full sized bike is still high enough to park another full sized bike underneath. Everthing worked well, the rope was ok too, maybe they have a new design?

Easy to use and gets those bikes out of the way. If we had more bikes, we would buy more of these.

I have 11 foot ceilings in my garage so a bike lift is a good storage sloution for a cluttered garage. Thre Racor lift is a very good product, especially for the price. $19.99 + free shipping. I bought another one.

I got two of these and both my wife and I really like the way these work for our MTBs. They make it easy to raise and lower the bikes in a very secure manner. One reviewer I read before I purchased these mentioned the hooks are not hooks but L shaped, bent metal (rubber coated) bike connection objects. He mentioned his bike fell off the lift because of this lack of hookness. The bike connection objects I got were indeed hooks but they do have a pretty flat angle in the hook. Think an 80 degree angle instead of a 90 degree as an L will have. We find these hooks to work very well and we have had zero issues with the bikes coming off the hooks even after many uses. My only negative comment relates to the installation instructions. They suggest you drill a pilot hole into the wooden stud using a 1/8 drill bit to guide the mounting screws. The screws they supply are MUCH bigger around than 1/8. With a power driver, these screws and the 1/8 pilot hole make it is nearly impossible to bottom the screws into the stud. They get within about 1/2 of bottoming and just stop. I almost rounded the screw heads as the driver bit was jumping out of the the screw head even when I was really bearing down on the drill to hold the driver bit in the screw head. I have to think I was putting well over 75 pounds of pressure onto the drill and the screws would not bottom. I backed the screws out and re-drilled the pilot holes using a 5/32 drill bit and this worked much better. I still got a very firm, very secure bite as the screws entered and bottomed in the wooden stud and the force required to keep the driver bit in the screw head is much more reasonable. In all other ways the instruction were straight forward and easy to follow.

Low build quality, inferior rope with tons of stretch and the pulley bearings dont come close to lifting the advertised weight limit.

Highly recommend for anyone with limited space. I installed it easily despite not being a handyman. It holds bike securely and frees up space on my floor.

Used it to hang a 24ft ladder to the ceiling of my garage. Works great.

I have two bikes hanging from the ceiling with these lift systems. Its convenient The only down-side is the included rope seems to wear pretty easily as it goes through the locking mechanism. So far no problem.

Got two of these for our garage and they are holding the two bike just fine. Too cold to go biking, but I dont expect any issues taking the bikes down and putting them back up again.
