Racor Pro ABL-1R Aluminum Ceiling Mounted Bike Lift Review

If you've got high ceilings, this is a great way to store you bikes in your garage.I've got a double car garage with two single car garage doors.My bikes fit great in between the doors and high enough I don't have to duck underneath them to walk under.

Like I said in the title of this review, my biggest praise for this product is that it is safe.I chose the more expensive than the one for half the price because of the cam lock feature.Once I get a bike hoisted all the way up to the ceiling, I can let go of the rope and the bike stys right where it is, it will not come down on its own.This is a HUGE feature if you've got kids.The last thing you want is a bike falling on some kids head because they were screwing around with the rope (which is natural for a kid to do).

The only thing that I found somewhat difficult was initially hitting the studs in the ceiling when screwing in the board.My ceiling is textured, so my stud finder wasn't very effective.I finally hit the stud after the first couple of trys.But once you hit the first stud, measure out with your tabe and you're good to go.

Quick note- I suggest screwing in a 2x6 to the ceiling, making sure that is very secure, then screw the bike lift into the 2x6.I think its more secure this way and gives you more room for error when screwing into the studs (four screws per stud vs one)

Installation of the device is a snap.A third grader with a ladder could figure it out.The rope (they give you more than you need) is very strong & doesn't feel like it'll fray any time in the future.

I'd recommend this lift for bikes any time.

On a side note, I can't see using one of these for a ladder.A ladder fits so nice and flush on a wall that a hook would work so much better than this.

But for a bike, there's no question- Go with this!This is the Michael Jackson of bike storage (the "BAD" album Michael Jackson, not the sleep over Michael Jackson)!

Product Description:
Nothing eats up garage floor space faster than bikes and ladders. This bike and ladder lift hoists those bulky items up to the ceiling and out of the way. A unique rail design means easy mounting either parallel or perpendicular to garage ceiling joists. A smart cam lock locks the pull rope with every pull so you don't have to hold down the whole load between lifts. Designed for ceilings up to 12 foot, the lift has a 75-pound capacity for stable storage of most bikes and ladders. Made from heavy gauge aluminum, the lift won't rust for years of reliable bike and ladder storage. --Brian D. Olson
