Robust Engineering for Durability
The RAD Easy Bike Hoist can hold the heftiest bicycles. With a load limit of up to 100 pounds, this mounting system features robust engineering for smooth lifting that doesn't put excessive strain on your hands or back. The thick rope will resist fraying, keep your bike steady and secure, and last a lifetime. The rubber-coated hooks will prevent scratching, and the advanced braking system will provide peace of mind--you'll know that once your bike is hoisted and locked, it will stay secure.
Easy Installation and Operation
Installing the RAD Easy Bike Hoist is fast and easy. You can mount the hoist on a two-by-four and screw the two-by-four to a joist, or you can mount the hoist directly to the joist itself.
And using the hoist is just as simple--attach the clamps to the handlebars and seat, and you're ready to comfortably lift your bike up to the ceiling. Once the locking mechanism clicks in, wrap the rope around the included wall mount to keep your bicycle secure. When it's time to get your bike down, simply unlock the mechanism and use the rope to smoothly bring it to the ground.
The RAD Easy Bike Hoist is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.
What's in the Box
Two hoist brackets with integral pulley system, two rubber-coated hoist hooks with pulley, one wall-mounting cleat, one nylon rope, ten mounting screws, and instruction manual.

This review is from: RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist (Misc.) We researched a lot of similar products via online reviews, settling on this one as having the greatest likelihood of highest quality / best price and WE ARE VERY PLEASED. Here are some key things we'd like you to know: 1. It takes some time to get these things mounted right, so just plan on it... you need to string the rope through the 4 pieces and pulleys just so, mount them on joists just so, and ensure the distance between the two pieces is just right for your bike. We recommend at least two people, chips and salsa, and perhaps a coors light ;) 2. You can mount several bikes fairly close together if you offset the handlebars a bit forward and back among the mounts so that the handlebars never "share the same space." We bought 5 of these bike hoists and mounted them to run parallel to the joists spaced at 24" for mounting 5 bikes, one bike on each of five different joists mounted side-by-side. We bought long screws from the hardware store to...Read more 101 of 105 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist (Misc.) This bike lift is almost identical to the more expensive Racor list. We purchased a Racor first, then three of these. The only difference is slightly cheaper rope, and different pulleys. For the price, I'm happy that I went with this one.
Review from my Racor purchase (applies to all of them): We purchased four lifts (three of this brand, one Racor) 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 one complaints, but on the whole am very satisfied: Positive: * Works smoothly * Clever, simple system * Locking mechanism for rope is nice * Installation is straightforward Negative: * Hooks need a safety strap, depending on where you attach them Hints: * I attached the hooks to a lower location on each bike to have the bike lifted all the...Read more 59 of 60 people found the following review helpful: By Dave (WA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist (Misc.) I am actually using the product to hoist something other (much heavier) than a bicycle but I think my comments might still be of interest to others. I found the product to be reasonably well made. The rope, as noted by others, is inexpensive but suitable for its purpose. If you don't like it, you can certainly afford to replace it based on the product's low price. The only complaint I have is that the two pulleys don't rise at the same rate; the pulley carrying the least amount of weight will rise first and once at its maximum height, will then allow the pulley with the heavier load to rise. This probably isn't an issue for hoisting a bike but in my application, I need both pulleys to rise equally at the same time. It's an easy problem to work around but the product would be perfect without it. To be honest, I'm not sure what could be done about this as I think it's just the physics of its two-pulley design. For $12.00 each and free shipping though, I'm more than satisfied (and I...Read more |
