Customers are mixed about the size of the transport rack. Some mention it's a space-saving, convenient, and kinda cool way to store bicycles. They are up high and out of the way, while others say that it'd be better if it was longer and took up less vertical space. The screws that attach the track to the ceiling are too large and the joist spacings are not always exactly 16 inches.

Customers are mixed about the ease of lifting and lowering the bike rack. Some mention that the components, flexible hooks, and locking mechanism make it easy to get the bike up and down to the ceiling. However, some say that the drawback is that it doesn't lift evenly, becomes more difficult to lift with a heavier bike, and requires gloves. The bicycle tends to rise more on one side when it is hoisted up, but by installing it in a joist.

Customers are mixed about the stability of the transport rack. Some mention that it holds the bike just fine all by itself, and is a perfect solution that holds the load securely overhead. However, others say that the rope can slip off during use, the guides on the pulleys don't stay in the pullies well, and the locking mechanism can slip.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I now have 4 of these in my garage. They all work great. I must admit however that I now agree with the reviews that stated the mounting screws are soft. They are! I had 3 screw heads snap off and I have a drill with torque control. Do yourself a favor and use galvanized wood screws. Other than that I’m really pleased with it.
This is an excellent bike hoist and works very well. It was easy to install (took all of 15 minutes), directions were straight forward and clear. Having the aluminum rail with the ability to adjust the position of the 2 pulley hooks makes a difference when you have different bike sizes and distances between the handlebar and the saddle, and gives you flexibility in locating the right place for it with respect to your joist locations. I have 2 of these installed in my garage for my road bike and mountain bike. The ease and speed with which I can lower and raise the bike makes is so much nicer than other systems I have tried both on the ceiling and the wall. It's great to have the bikes off the floor of my garage where I keep 2 cars.
I can't agree with some of the negative comments. Some say the mounting screws are "soft?" I found no such problem and I have done much work with wood screws over the years. First, you have to screw these into studs. Don't even think about using any kind of drywall anchors as you are putting some amount of pulling force on the ceiling as you raise the bike, whether a light racing cycle or something heavier. Secondly, the supplied screws are plenty long and thick. I've had one of my hoists for well over a year and raise and lower the bike multiple times per week. Haven't had any issue at all and the rail is as securely fastened to the ceiling as it was the day I installed it. The next negative comment I read was the thickness of the rope. The rope is plenty thick and strong. I mean you can't design something like this with a 1/2" or thicker rope. Then there was the comment about the difficulty in threading the rope through the pulleys and the locking mechanism. This is not rocket science and was really no problem. If you follow the directions and attach to the eye hook first, you should have no problem whatsoever. The rope is very long, and needs to be and does take some time to wrap and unwrap on the cleat, but that is a very minor issue. You could probably get away with not wrapping the extra rope around the cleat at all as the locking mechanism works very well, just like the mechanism on horizontal blinds, but why take a chance. It's an extra safety precaution. I actually figured out how much rope I needed once the bike was completely lowered, added a little extra and then cut some of it off (even though it recommends not to). Lastly, I read one stating you have to supply a good amount of force to raise the bike. I mean c'mon. You're going to have to use some amount of force to raise any bike no matter what the weight, and If you have a 50 lb. monster, well...
Finally, the price was great for such a high quality device with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommend for those looking to get their bikes off the floor of their garage.
During threading, I would recommend tying off the rope to the eye bolt, then installing the eye bolt and the pulley next to it, and then thread the other pulleys before putting them onto the track (it's a little hard to thread everything while it's up on the ceiling...ever heard the expression "like pushing a rope"? Know why that's an expression? Because it's kind of frustrating and difficult. So if you do that with the pulleys before you slide them on the track you can thread it much more easily.).
Pros:
Easy to Install
Good Functionality
Economical
Durable, rubber-coated hoist hooks
Even comes with the cleats to tie off the excess rope
Cons - a verification of many other reviews
(1) Cheap, chintzy rail mounting screws. For some reason the unit was designed with minimal clearance between the inside of the rail and the top of the pulley housings (~1/8") so you are limited to what type of screw to use to mount the rail to the ceiling joists. Even after reading all the warnings in the previous reviews, I did try using the screws supplied with the unit. But even with a pre-drilled pilot hole and my impact driver set low and being ever so careful to just slowly nudge the screws into my ceiling joists, I still spun off the heads on several of the screws. These cheap screws aren't even as rugged as deck or dry wall screws which themselves would not be the correct fasteners to use in this application. Unfortunately because there is such little clearance between the pulley housings and rail you cannot use hex-head lag bolts. I wound up using larger, stronger wood screws and they worked fine. About the only thing the included fasteners were good for was mounting the cleats to secure the excess rope.
(2) Really cheap rope included. Frayed excessively when hoisting the bike for the first time. Cannot imagine what the rope would like after many hoists. I wound up using military grade paracord rated for the proper weight limit which seems about 100x stronger and more durable. $10 for 50' at my local hardware store.
So the manufacturer, in an effort to reduce cost and squeeze every little fraction of a penny out of the unit cost, passes it on to the consumer. They could have saved even more money had they just not included the screws and given a recommendation in the assembly instructions for what type to use. I wasted my time trying to use them and had to rework the first unit as a result. For something that will be responsible for hanging up to 75lbs of expensive bikes and strollers above people's heads, I would have paid more for a safer product.

It comes with 8 fixing screws (size no 10, I estimate), that should be more than sufficient to secure it to a joist.
The joists in our garage run at right angles to the required orientation of the rack, so I bolted the rack to a piece of timber and secured the timber across three joists with nine 50 mm no 10 wood screws (three of which are through both the rack and the timber support and the other six are just through the timber support).
It is easy enough to raise and lower the bicycle.
I should have liked to have guards on the sides of the pulleys to prevent the rope coming off the pulleys (hence only 4 stars). Knowing it can happen has made me more attentive. If the rope does come off the pulley then the bicycle can still be lowered, so it is only an inconvenience.

The only minor issue is the the Mounting Screws have a larger head than the instructions indicate and you cannot slide pulleys along the rail past the screws. Need to position the pulleys before installing all the mounting screws.
Fuera de eso. Es un excelente producto. Se monta muy faciles los ganchos y no se ve de mala calidad ningun componente.
El servicio de entrega llego mas rápido de lo esperado.
En general cumple con su cometido y su precio es ideal.
