HARKEN Hoister - Overhead Garage Storage 1 Point Hoist System for Bikes, Ladders (45lb Capacity, 10ft Ceiling) Space-Saving Organization, Easy One-Person Operation, Safe Anti-Drop, Self-Leveling, 7800

I had a host type before and I didn't like it. I had all kinds of problems. I looked for a new one and this caught my eye. It was simple, could it really work? Yes it does. It was easy to install and the belts seemed nice and sturdy. I have to admit the first time I used it I hooked the belts up wrong, how I don't know. When I started letting it down the bike flipped upside down. I thought here we go again. I looked at the straps and realized my error. It now works flawlessly. I've used it several times and it's wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Our garage storage space is tight, so hanging the bikes from the ceiling seemed the perfect solution. A lot of the other systems I looked at seemed to have the potential for the bike to come off the attachment hooks .. which wasn't what I wanted. I liked this one, because it used a harness to hold the bike. So far, I'm really happy! Installation was pretty straightforward, which I appreciated. My only concern will be whether the mechanism eventually degrades the rope .. time will tell.

Maximizes garage space, always at a premium, and gets your bike up in the air so it won't fall against your car and scratch the paint. Fairly easy to assemble and hang by yourself.

This a decent product. The rope doesn’t fray, the metal hinge assembly is a well made piece not tin like some others

Well made and reliable to do the job

This is a great alternative of having to raise my wheelbarrow up to its ceiling hook by hand! (And back)Replaced existing ceiling hook (located in a stud) with the hook for this system. Now just an easy pull/or release of the rope and up or down it comes.

works smoothly and efficiently and mechanical advantage makes it idea for seniors as well was younger folk.

I used this to haul my wet/dry vac up towards the peak of my workshop ceiling and couldn't establish enough of an angle with the pull-rope, threaded through a second pulley mounted high on the wall, to allow release / lowering. The toothed cam mechanism releases with difficulty. I had to take it down and disengage it by detaching its spring and wiring it out of the way. Those who are raising an object to a lesser height might not have this difficulty. The mechanism is well-made but over-priced. A BLOCK AND TACKLE setup would be just as effective and MUCH more economical.
