5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for, June 18, 2009

I bought two of these for my garage and it worked as pictured. I was surprised how easy it was to pull the bike up to the ceiling. I was worried my wife would have a hard time using it but she had no problems. I don't have any kids but I imagine this would be perfect for kids bikes.

Keep in mind that when you install this it should be screwed into a rafter. If the rafters run in the wrong direction simply use a board perpendicular to the rafters which will provide an excellent place to screw the lift to.

This product works as intended, but has some drawbacks that could be easily rectified by the manufacturer.

1: The pulleys are too narrow for their housings, and this allows the rope to slip onto the side of the pulley and jam.
A wider pulley or narrower housing would cure this.

2: The ceiling pulley assemblies are not designed to mount length wise to the ceiling joists. You are asked to mount a long board to ceiling If you want to run the pullies parallel to the joists.
Not OK.

3: Rope is frail and showed fraying just from the installation.

4: Hooks aren't hooked enough. They can be bent more, but the material used for the hooks is tough. (Unlike the rest of the parts)

Otherwise, its OK but the pulley thing is kinda of a drag

I have 4 of these hoists 2 for bicycles and 2 for kayaks. I beleave the pullys and other partes are capable of heaver objects such as the kayaks but the supplied screws are suspect so I went to the lumber yard and bought heavy truss screws. The rope is subject to fraying and if you are not carefull will occasionaly slip off the pully. I have 10.5 foot ceilings so I tied a loop in the end of the rope so if it slips up I can get it with a boat hook.
