Racor PBH-1R Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift

These are very easy to install and very strong. They were about half the price on amzn than at the local store too! Would recommend

I have spent the last few weeks reorganizing my garage, installing tool racks, a heavy duty workbench, but I had a nagging problem of where to store our two mountain bikes.

I did some research and found this Racor ceiling-lift bike pulley. I initially wanted to purchase the more expensive, "ultimate" version, but figured so many people had given positive reviews to this product that there was no reason to spend $40 extra per pulley.

I am very pleased with this product. It was easy to install, the pulley/locking mechanism works exactly as expected, and I now have the perfect storage option for our bikes.

The box was packed with quality and the metal pulley system is sturdy and effective. The directions were easy to follow.

Highly recommend.

This is my first Amazon review even though I have probably bought up to 200+ items from Amazon in the last 2 years, which I am ashamed of being that I rely a fair amount of my purchase on consumer reviews. So let this be the beginning...I have this RACOR model bicycle hoist and I also have the RAD version (RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist - Bicycle Hoists). This RACOR product is far superior IF you are attaching this directly parallel to the 2x4's of your UNfinished garage. The screws are larger and stronger then the RAD (3 of the 6 RAD screws stripped even with the correct Philips bit, a LOT of pressure and pre-drilling). The rope while not being the highest of standard is far superior to the RAD supplied item. The bracket sizes are perfect to attach parallel to your 2x4's while the RAD is typically too large for this job. It took me exactly 12 minutes to put up the RACOR, while it has been 35 minutes and counting with the RAD (due to stripped screws, and over-sized brackets for my particular setup). Overall I am happy with this RACOR hoist and trust it to carry my not so expensive bicycle over my rather more expensive car. But seriously get this RACOR over the RAD, the price difference for me was ~$1 cheaper for the RAD (I do Amazon Prime so don't know which is cheaper for shipping). But for the sake of $1 I really wish I went for another RACOR as opposed to the RAD. I am considering returning the RAD but don't really want the hassle. My 2 cents.

We have 8 bikes in our family -- 4 kids with a couple of bikes to grow into. These have really cleaned up our garage -- my second car can actually fit now. Easy to install, great price, works fantastically.

I wasn't sure how sturdy it would be but it holds the bike without worry and was quick and easy to install.
