 works well for storing bikes Sep 02, 2010
I used two of these to store a bike and ladder on my garage ceiling. They work as advertised and are solidly built. The only problem is that the screw holes on the sides are too close to the pulley which doesn't leave enough space to screw in the screws with a cordless drill; I had to use a regular screwdriver.
Also, I recommend tying a stopper knot in the rope a few feet from the end. That way if the end of the rope gets pulled up all the way it won't go through the latch and fall out the other side.
 Rope broke Aug 31, 2010
I've been using this bike lift for months and months with no issues. Yesterday the rope broke when I was lowering the bike. Nobody was hurt and nothing was damaged, but this could have been a bigger problem. The rope showed no sign of wear. The break was clean, as if a knife had cut it. No knife cut it. The rope must have been defective.
Crazy

I'm using this for a 17'6" Canoe. The Canoe is 47 pounds and this works just great!
Very well built, easy to operate, and saves space! Jul 30, 2010
This bike lift appears to be of great quality and works great! Installation was not very difficult (but make sure you have a good stud finder or some other way of making sure the screws are drilled in the center of the 2X4's), and raising and lowering the bike is even easier!
The pulley system helps distribute the weight in such a way that it is not as hard as you would think lifting or lowering a 40 pound mountain bike. It feels like it about cuts the weight in half.
There is also a catch on the end of the pulley so that even if you let go of the rope, the bike stays where it's at rather than crashes to the ground! The catch works so well, it almost seems that the rope-tie thing mounted to the wall is redundant (but redundancy never hurt anyone right?, and plus it gets the rope out of the way).
The way the catch works is somewhat like vertical blinds. If you pull straight down or towards the wall mounted rope-tie thing, it will only raise the bike and won't lower them. You have to pull the rope back the other direction away from the wall to release the catch, and then keep the rope at that angle while lowering the bike.
It really works great. My wife and I bought two of them for our bikes and love them! If you're worried about whether the hood of your vehicle will fit underneath the raised bikes, measure how tall your bike is and then add about 10 inches or so to tell you how low they will hang from the ceiling (the handle bars/seat of our bikes are around 8-10 inches from the ceiling when fully raised).
Overall, this lift is very well made, easy to use, saves tons of space, and is a great deal! Solid five stars!
Great lift Jul 28, 2010
These are very easy to install and very strong. They were about half the price on amzn than at the local store too! Would recommend
