Amazon.com 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

THE PRODUCT NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS July 23, 2008
I BOUGHT FOUR (4) RACOR MODEL ABL-1R BICYCLE LIFTS TO INSTALL IN A GARAGE WITH 12 FOOT CEILINGS.

THERE ARE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS RACOR NEEDS TO MAKE IN THIS PRODUCT: THE POOR QUALITY PHILIPS HEAD SCREWS PROVIDED ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO USE, EVEN WITH PILOT HOLES DRILLED IN THE CEILING JOISTS; THE FLAT LOCKING DISCS (ALSO POOR QUALITY ALLEN SCREWS) ARE SUPPOSE TO SLIDE INTO THE ALUMINUM RAIL BUT ARE TO BIG, SO THE RAIL HAD TO BE PRIDE APART TO WIDEN; THE ROPE KEEPS COMING OFF THE PULLEYS BECAUSE THE PULLEY'S VERTICAL SIDES ARE NOT TALL ENOUGH TO RETAIN THE ROPE.

I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY MORE OF THESE UNITS UNTIL THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS.

Great product! June 13, 2008
With the limitation of space in a one car garage, this item is just great for utilizing the ceiling to store your bike. It's easy to install, easy to operate, and reasonably priced. Works really well, and keeps the garage neat.

Clean look and easy to install May 11, 2008
I was hesitant to first purchase the more expensive version instead of the $20 lower end version. Purchased 2 and after figuring the sequence of steps, the second installation was easier and quicker. Fortunately, the joists were parallel with the direction of the Racor rail and there were no issues. Planning to get 2 more for the kids' bikes. Time to get back some of our garage floor space.

Good product, easy to install April 6, 2008
I bought the Racor bike/ladder hoist to suspend a tandem kayak from our garage ceiling. It was an easy install and the adjustable rail on which the pulleys can slide is a very nice feature. I would have no complaints if this were used for the ladder or bike it was designed for, but when used to hoist a kayak I have to get on a ladder to bring it down. You cannot get the proper angle to release the cleat because the boat is too wide to allow it. Not a big hassle since this boat will not be coming down often, but I now see why (more expensive) hoists designed for kayaks have an offset pulley. For a bike, this would get five stars.
