 Good Product, Works Well, Installation Time Consuming Nov 04, 2009
I have 2 of these bike lifts, and they actually work pretty well after you get them up.
As others have noted, the ropes look like they're fraying. We haven't replaced ours yet, but I expect to do that in the future. We also needed to buy some alternate/additional screws for mounting. (These two issues are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.)
They need to be mounted into wood, which may be a bit difficult if the ceiling joists run in the wrong direction for you (like mine did). You can't just put them anywhere unless you have a -really- high ceiling - they'll hang down about a 12-18 inches PLUS the height of the bike. Given that, our garage isn't high enough to mount them just anywhere, so we had to put ours parallel to a wall. This required me to add support boards on the ceiling with some heavy duty lag bolts. This was more work than hanging the Racors themselves.
However, after you get them up, they work just fine. Raising and lowering the bikes is reasonably easy, and they stay solidly in place without fear of them falling.
One final note - the hooks are probably going to go under the seat and under the handlebars. Make sure you don't have any brake cables or other things in those areas that would prevent you from using the hooks.
Racor PBH-1R Nov 02, 2009
The Racor PBH-1R is an economical, well-made bike lift. Our need was to hoist a cargo container and it can sufficiently handle the 30lb+ of current weight. It was easy to install. The medicore materials used (lightweight plastic, etc) may prove to sketchy for constant up and down usage but just a guess since we have had no issues- the price paid made it a good value.
 Relatively easy to install and works great Oct 23, 2009
I've had the hooks up for 6 months now and we really like them.
They were easy to install on the garage rafters. It only took a few minutes to put all 3 up.
Using them for the bikes is extremely easy as well. They are a great way to make room for a car in the garage.
 Bike lift Oct 13, 2009
The device works as designed. Overall quality is decent. The only shortcoming were the screws that come with it. Each of them stripped out as I tried to attach the lift, even though I had predrilled pilot holes.
ease of installation Oct 09, 2009
i would definitely reccomend the recor pbh-1r ceiling mount bike lift once i located the ceiling joists the install went flawless
