Terrific ceiling hoist
"I bought two for our bikes. Installation was easy and they work perfectly. Because of the way our garage ceiling had been drywalled, I replaced the factory screws with longer drywall screws. To install, I drove the center screw first and not quite tight, spun the track to align with the ceiling joist, drove the other screws 90% of the way, and finally tightened everything up. We like how you can unwrap the rope from the cleat and the auto-lock holds the bike until you are ready to lower it."
Easy to install and works great!
"I was impressed by how easy this was to install myself. It took just a few minutes and immeditely appreciated getting my bike up and out of the way."
Review of Hoist for A Bicycle or Kayak
"The hoist is amazing for storing my 14 foot 6 inch kayak."
Sturdy, Easy to Install
"This rack is sturdy, well-designed, and constructed. Installation instructions and video were easy to follow. We had 2 of us on ladders in our 12-foot-ceiling garage for safety, though I suspect a more confident person could do it alone. Because my ceiling joists are 24 inches apart, and thus only 2 screw holes, I used slightly longer wood screws, size 10 X 2-inch long for reliability. The flexible hook system is superior to static ones, though I wish the hooks were each 1-inch longer. Still, an excellent lift."
Great design
"Well designed. Well packaged. Easy to put up. What more do you need!"
Straightforward installation and easy to hoist and release.
"I am somewhat mechanically challenged. If you are adept at lining up the device and drilling guide holes, installation is a piece of cake. Works as expected."
Q&A
- How high of a ceiling can this accommodate?
- The suggested height is 10-12 feet so that the cord is within reach
