You have to love something as clever as this. We've struggledwith hoisting bikes onto storage hooks in the garage, and that's justnot the way to live--this is. Just screw the pulley system into theceiling studs, thread rope through the guides, attach the rope to your bike, and effortlessly raise your bike to the ceiling. Pro Stor's Monster bike lift hoists bikes as heavy as 50 pounds up to a 12-foot ceiling, and you don't evenbreak a sweat. The locking mechanism prevents accidental release, andyour bike is out of the way. Solid-steel construction leaves nothing toworry about. We like this Monster. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Great And---
First off, this is a GREAT product. Just installed two units on the roof beams of my peaked garage. The bikes squeeze up between the rafters leaving about 8 feet of headroom. CAUTION-when attaching the two plates parallel to the beam the center line axis of the plate wants to lay flush against the wood. I'd suggest you drill 3/8" diameter relief holes in the beam above the plates for the bolt nuts that hold the pulley's to the plates or you will bend the plate when tightening the mounting screws (which run down the central axis of the plate). Also use a screw eye to knot off the end rather than put a knot above the plate (which would require another clearance hole). I needed more than the 48' of the 1/4 " dia. cord supplied but that looked pretty ratty anyway so I replaced it. Finally take into account an additional 12 inches of headroom for the plates and bike holding hooks.

5 Star Product!
A great, economical, easy to install, easy to use bike storage system. I bought 3 and are all well worth the money. I had a problem at first with two of them, but received EXCELLENT customer service from Racor directly, and the problem has been elimiated. It was a actually a pleasure to deal with a manufacturer who takes pride in their product and service. I recommend these to anyone looking to free up some garage space.

Racor PBH-1 Pro Stor Bicycle Hoist Monster
This is a good quality product and an excellent company to buy from. Packaging was professional and shipment was very timely. They went out of their way to e-mail me a letter to better explain how to determine the distance between studs in our finished garage, easier ways to install the hoists along with a picture that is more explanatory and even to say if the two hoist don't work for us, directions on how to return. I give them thumbs up.
Not to forget the hoist. I love the extra room that was made possible by hoisting the bicycles up to the ceiling in our garage. Nothing like getting them out of the way!
They lock into place right at the top of the ceiling and getting them up was not that difficult. I was able to do it by myself.

No Hangups Here
I just mounted my first bike hoist. It works great. I have a 20 ft ceiling in my garage and needed something to use that space. This fits the bill. The only alteration I needed to make was to buy 100 ft of rope. 1/4 inch clothesline rope seems to do the trick. I'm online now to buy 5 more. We shopped other locations, including various bike stores, auto part stores and garage stores. The 39.99 price was the lowest. With free shipping on Amazon.com, it can't be beat.

Great for the bikes and space-saving too!
In today's garages it is almost impossible to get two vehicles inside the garage and still have room for other "garage stuff"! I don't want my bikes outside rotting in the weather, but I don't want them falling on my vehicles either. These bicycle hoists are easy to install once you use a stud finder in order to make sure you anchor them correctly. The pulley system makes it very simple to "pull" the bike to ceiling level and gets them high enough to allow clearance of the front of my fairly high-riding pickup. The bike tires also seem to do better hanging from the ceiling instead of rotting on the ground. I also imagine this to be an easier way to get your bike up off the ground than lifting it onto hooks. ... Read more
