Customer Review: bike hoist

It takes a bit of patience to hang, but very nice once you have it up.Customer Review: Great for bicycles
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased four of these to try and get the bicycles in my garage out of the way. Mounting them correctly takes a bit of time, and you do want to ensure you mount them correctly. I think they are rated for 50lbs, and I anchored mine in to the ceiling with 4-50lb anchors. Once they are up they are really easy to use. The hoist has a safety catch on it that won't let the item you're lifting fall unless you pull the cord in one direction. I would caution however(and this isn't a flaw with the ceiling hoist, but was more of an issue of my mounting), that if you quickly release the tension on the cord, and drop the bicycles(or whatever you are hanging), it has the potential to exert a lot more force on the hoist. When I quickly dropped the bicycle down, one of the hoists came out of the ceiling and pulled the anchors I put them up with with it. Once I secured it back up with stronger and additional anchors though, I had no problems. Each hoist has 2 parts which can accomodate up to 8 screws in it. If you manage to hit a stud, you can easily get away with just 4.
Overall these are a great item and I plan to buy more of them to make room in my garage.

I have house cats with claws, so the ceiling hoist in the garage is a tire and stress saver: easy to install (I used a 1 by 6 five-foot board to secure the hoist to the beams) and easy (actually, fun) to use once it is up. The line locking device was a nice surprise. I read somewhere that the screws that come with it are no good, so I bought new wood screws for the hoist and the board and never even tried the screws that came in the box. The one thing to note here is that I have only been using the hoist to store my mountain bike for about three weeks. If the parts or the line will hold up over long wear, I don't know. If freezing temperatures or the humidity in the garage will affect the parts, I don't know. I do know that not worrying about cats leaping up to bike stands to puncture rubber and not worrying about cats slipping out of the house while I navigate the bike out the door is heavenly. I ride more because I bought this product.Customer Review: Happy with hoist.

I purchased bike hoists to lift my bikes up 14ft to the recessed area in front of my a/c unit. Everything worked perfectly; from the latch system to the bikes lifting evenly on both ends. The only frustrating part of mounting the hardware, was the fact that I did not realize that the hardware is hollowed out on the backside of the pulleys and I was mounting both hardware pieces to same beam. So, instead of using a sold piece of wood between the two hardware pieces and be exposed. I had to cut two pieces of wood to fit under the hardware only and mount them to the ceiling first then mount the pulleys to the ceiling. Everything works great and the bikes are holding strong 1 month later.Customer Review: Fantastic product, but you will definitely need to buy screws

My husband and I recently purchased two of these pulley systems to store our bicycles with. The whole system is very easy to use and install. As many other people have mentioned, the screws that come with the kit are really low quality and I definitely recommend purchasing better screws.
We mounted both kits to the ceiling of our garage and they work beautifully. We are able to store our bikes above head level so that they are out of the way and not taking up any floor space.
I highly recommend this product as long as you remember to buy better screws.
