Tools and Hardware Reviews of RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist

Customer Review: A steal at $10.00
Summary: 4 Stars

I was very pleased with this product that I ordered 2. Frees up floor space in the garage and works as advertised. The higher the garage ceiling the better.

Customer Review: As advertized
Summary: 4 Stars

Hardware is good and solid and looks like it will last. Installation was straight forward and product worked as expected. Rope provided is substandard though and depending upon frequency of use I don't expect it to last.

Customer Review: Awesome product!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought five of these storage lifts. They work great! I'm now able to fit another car in the garage! I followed all of the recommendations on installing which made it very easy to install. can't beat the price!

Customer Review: BIke Hoist review
Summary: 2 Stars

It works, but, I had to make several modifications, which took allot of time.

Negatives:

1. Thin rope
2. Rope jumps off pulleys often, have to release tension, then re-align rope to fit in the center of the guides.
3. Hooks are at right angles, meaning, when it lifts your handlebars, it is parallel to the floor, flat. Several times the hooks slipped off.
4. Mounting screws are junk. Striped the head of the first Philips screw. I used another screw I had at home.

Solutions:

1. With much force, I was able to bend the hooks up slightly w/ C clamps. First remember to remove the rubber cover or it will rip.
2. Use your own mounting screws. They will go in far easier, w/o stripping, and will be much stronger.

Now it works o.k., I just have to watch the guides, when hoisting up, as if I go too fast, it derails off the guides.

This is my second Hoist. First hoist has better hardware, thicker/stronger rope, and great guides. In five years, my old Hoist has not derailed once. Price was about the same, but, I couldn't remember where I purchased the old Hoist. I have two bikes.

Suggestion, spend a few more $, and get a higher quality hoist, something you can put together and have it work, without modifications, or derailed rope.
