Tools and Hardware Reviews of RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product for the price. I took some time to set up the system by making some wood 2X4 mounts for the pulleys as my beams run parallel to the orientation of the bikes. The joist beams are not thick enough to mount this system. The home made mounts were "I" shaped 2X4 mounts and the setup works great! The locking mechanism seems pretty sturdy.....I have not has a bike fall or slide unexpectedly. I would buy more if I had more bikes.Customer Review: Racor is better
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered thinking the item would be the same as the Racor or another set I had ordered a year ago. Not the case, the problems here:
* Rope is a loose weave nylon that slips off the rollers easily (Racor comes with mountain climbing style tight weave rope).
* Screws are not very strong and strip easily. I replaced with higher grade wood screws.
* Poor grade rollers do not lift the bike evenly.
Buy the Racor.
Customer Review: Does it's job
Summary: 4 Stars
Works just as advertised. Gets the bikes up out of the way for the most part. If my ceiling in the garage was about a foot taller that would be ideal but still not much ducking is needed to get under the bikes. One thing I foresee changing in the future is the rope. The nylon rope supplied frays and snags on things really easily and I'll probably end up swapping it out for a tougher climbing cord style rope later. Otherwise a good product.Customer Review: Fantastic and easy to install!
Summary: 5 Stars
Talk about an easy way to uncluttered your garage. You can use it on bikes, you can use it with furniture, you can put a couple together with a palette and lift anything you want up to the ceiling. It installs in minutes. I have four of these in my garage. Many of my friends have also installed them after seeing them up. I have yet to hear a complaint. They are super sturdy, work like a charm, and are kinda fun to use. Give it a try!Customer Review: Saves a lot of space in my studio apartment
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. I will put this up first-thing the next time I move, it saves a ton of space in my little studio. I've been using it now for over 6 months and was worried that the low cost would equal bad quality. I am glad I trusted the other reviews instead of purchasing something more expensive.
FYI: Had to use a hammer drill because my apartment ceiling is made out of cement. Well worth the extra effort to put it up.
