🚲 Arltb Bike Lift Hoist: Garage Ceiling-Mounted System for Mountain Bikes and Road Bikes - Silver (50lbs Capacity) Review

I bought two of these and they are fantastic! We hung our bikes and now we have more space! It took a while to install, but that's only because you have to mount it on the ceiling. That's the only problem, but the product itself is easy to install. We found it easier to mount it on a 2x4 and then attach it to the ceiling. It also comes with a very long lanyard so you can lower an object from another part of the garage.

Bought to clean up the mess in my shed. I ended up hanging a full size wheelbarrow and a backpack blower on it. There's a pretty good weight. It snaps into place perfectly and I have no problem placing them BOTH at the same time by simply pulling on the nylon cord provided. I wasn't sure if the rope or pulleys could take that much weight but to my surprise they handled it with no problem. The only problem is that the rope is a bit stretched but it still works.

Pros: Hardware seems strong enough to handle the advertised 50lb max weight. The product works as advertised. Cons: Pretty meager instructions (see photo).

I used square center holes and screwed 3" wood screws into the joist. The heads of the included screws are easy to remove (I used a couple to attach the plank to the wall…

One of the pulleys was loose so I tried tightening the nut. The main screw was broken. I replaced both the bolt and nut. The screws that attach the rollers to the ceiling are made of metal so soft that they can easily be torn out. I used my own screws. Once installed the hoist worked fine but I had issues with the cable slipping past the pulley and getting stuck between the bracket and the pulley. This was caused by a very sloppy fit of the pulleys in their mounts. In the end I decided the…

We had about half a dozen in the garage at my last home, just put two in the new home and I'm sure there will be more . They are very comfortable. My main complaint is that the rope that comes with it starts to wear out after a few years, so I've now just replaced it with a good nylon of the same size. Just hung a large floor fan and trolley from the ceiling; I don't even have a bike! Knowing how to find your trusses (or whatever) to hang them, don't just hang them in drywall - they provide…
