Question: Is it possible to get a replacement rope?  My lift is older.  The rope is wearing, and the lift is getting stuck when I try to lower my bike.
Document: When you try to pull it up one side goes up faster than the other, i.e. it doesn't balance itself. Worse, the rope will occasionally slip into the gaps on the sides of the pulleys and get stuck! POS. Would not buy again.
I'll have to relocate one of them slightly...)Note: the cargo pod weighs 52 pounds, just over the rated limit of the bike lift. At first I raised the cargo box with the crossbars inside it (total weight around 70 pounds? ), and could definitely feel a difference in stability, and in the effort at the very end of the lift, when trying to get it as close to the rafters as possible.I heartily recommend this product!For heavier stuff, and for unwieldy stuff, try theRacor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift 4-by-4-Foot Cable-Lifted Storage Rack.
I initially had hesitations about the quality but my handy husband said it was very solid. It is easy enough that our kids can lower and put back their bikes. I'm very happy it clears room in the garage as it seems the older the kids get, the more stuff we are collecting!Just because we are letting the kids lift/lower their bikes I did ask husband to make the hooks curve/wrap a little more around the handle bars.
This bike lift works great -- we purchased four (three were another brand, but identical design) for our garage and are happy with them. We were able to position each bike about 16" apart and have no trouble getting any bike up or down.I have several hints from our installation, and two complaints, but on the whole am very satisfied:Positive:* Works smoothly* Clever, simple system* Locking mechanism for rope is nice* Installation is straightforwardNegative:* Hooks need a safety strap, depending on where you attach themHints:* I attached the hooks to a lower location on each bike to have the bike lifted all the way to the ceiling.
I set this up myselft in under 10 mins without any problems.Everything worked smooth and easy from the first try.Bike it totally secure, after some reviews said bike doesnt stay on very well i raise my bike up and grabbed it by the rear wheel and yanked it back and forth and couldnt get it to come down.I think getting the spacing of the brackets is the important part. Just measure from the front of the handle bars to rear of seat and set the spacing of the hooks not the brackets to that spacing and you shouldnt have any problems.
This ceiling hoist is a good value for the money it cost. It will, however, require some patience when you want to lower your bike. The release is a little clunky and won't always work like it's supposed to. Sometimes it will get stuck and you'll have to reach with a ladder to assist it. Installation was a breeze though. I screwed it to a 2x4 piece of wood. Then I screwed the whole thing to the ceiling.
These Racor bike lifts are excellent, fairly easy to install, well made and sturdy.No junky plastic parts. The most difficult part of the installation was finding the right spot in our shed to mount them. I'd put the ease of threading the lift line through the pulleys at 2 on a 10 point scale of difficulty. Once you get that process straight in your head it's simple to do but I admit to having to try it once, and then doing it again after giving it a minute's thinking.It's also a good idea to add a couple of knots to the line so you can get a better grip on it without your hand slipping when raising and lowering the bike.After using it a bit more I may add an extra large bead or two near the end of the rope rather than the knots.Still can't believe the quality of these for the price.
i began to pull on the rope and only the front of the bike came off the ground, however the back of the bike was still dragging on the ground. i had to hold the rope with one hand and lift the back of the bike up with the other just to get the bike even.once it was up there the auto lock did work, but it made it a pain to lower down. it would lock after evert two or four inches (and i was even following directions). i re-read everything to make sure it was installed right, and still only one side up regardless of what way i had it hooked.
If she's not home, and the 9yo wants to ride his bike, he can lower the bike to the floor by himself in less than a minute. The lift installs in less than 10 minutes with a screwdriver; faster if you have an electric screwdriver. One thing to consider when installing is the excess line and storage reel; the line (rope) will run diagonally from the ceiling to the location on the wall where the 2-prong storage reel is mounted. When selecting an installation location, you need to consider where the line from the ceiling to the storage reel will run, to ensure that people don't get &#34;clotheslined&#34; when walking through the area.
I bought 4 of these bike lifts and they work great! They seemed to have improved the rope and hardware, so make sure to read the RECENT reviews (sort by date) to get a better feel for the product. I almost passed on it because the default view wasn't by date, so I read the older less-glowing reviews at first.After installing all 4 of the lifts, I rest assured that the bikes will stay up there (by adding some velcro so that the hooks can't ever fall off the seats, even during an earthquake -- I live in CA).
Answer: yes
