Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor PBH-1R Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift

Customer Review: Great product for the price
Summary: 4 Stars

I just put two of these up in the garage this weekend. After reading several reviews on various models and brands, I decided on these. I found no problem with the screws provided. You just need a high-quality phillips bit (I used a #2 bit in my drill), and you need to keep a steady pressure on the screw while you drive it into the wood. I would also recommend pre-dilling the holes. There is far more rope than you'll need in most cases. My garage ceiling is approx 11' high, and I had at least 3' of extra rope that I cut. Also, use a match to melt the end of the rope to prevent fraying after cutting it.

I also elected to mount the two pulley brackets to a 2x4, which I then mounted to the ceiling. To me this seemed to make more sense since the distance between the handlebars and seat back are not going to fall on 16" (or 24") centers to match your ceiling joists. I also think that it makes it much easier to line up the pulleys with each other and to adjust them later, if you wish to hand a different bike.

The rope locking mechanism works surprisingly well. My biggest criticisms are:

1) The instructions for routing the rope properly through the locking mechanism could be improved. I had several minutes of trail-and-error before I understood how this was supposed to work. The picture in the instructions and verbiage are not very helpful.

2) The wall cleat used to wrap the rope could be larger. My ceiling is quite tall, and I have a lot of rope that needs to be wrapped on the cleat. The cleat barely holds the rope once you hoist the bike in place.

3) There are no screws supplied for the cleats. This seems like a minor thing, but no one wants to start a project with an immediate trip to the hardware store for something that could easily be added to the included parts list.

All things considered, it's an excellent product for the price. I would strongly recommend it.

The RacorPro PHL-1R takes only minutes to install.
Easy-to-Install Pulley System Frees up Floor Space
The PBH-1R uses a pulley system that makes it easy to raise and lower bikes weighing up to 50 pounds. The system can be installed on ceilings as high as 14 feet, and the unique rope locking system ensures that the rope stays locked in place when not in use. Storing your bike off the floor not only protects your bike from damage, but it frees up valuable floor space, helping to keep your space tidy and better organized.

Installing the Racor PBH-1R is a breeze, and you can have it completed within a matter of minutes. The only tools necessary for installation are a Phillips head screwdriver, a drill with a 1/8" bit, a tape measure, and a stud finder (for ceilings with drywall). The easy-to-follow instructions will have your Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift ready to go in just five easy steps.

Solid-Steel Construction for Durability
The PBH-1R is built to last. All of its included hardware is constructed from solid steel for maximum durability and toughness. The locking mechanism, pulleys, rope cleat, and lift mechanism offer smooth performance for years to come. The included 48-foot lift rope is also extremely durable, and it provides plenty of excess length for ceilings up to 14-feet high.

Easy Raising and Lowering with Minimal Effort
The PBH-1R makes it a breeze to raise and lower your bike from its ceiling-mounted position. The pulley system handles the brunt of the force, so it requires very little effort on your part. Simply hook the bike handlebar and seat to the included hooks and pull the lift rope to raise the bike to its ceiling-mounted storage position. With each pull, the locking mechanism locks into place to eliminate accidental drops. Store the excess rope on the included rope cleat to keep it nice and tidy.

The RacorPro PBH-1R Ceiling-Mount Bike Lift measures 10.24 x 5.12 x 3.5 inches (packaged) and weighs just 3.64 pounds (packaged). All included components feature a black finish.

What's in the Box
Two lift assemblies, two hook pulleys (one with locking mechanism), 48-foot rope, one rope cleat, 10 two-inch wood screws.
