The Auwey 2-pack Bike Hoist is a space-saving vertical storage solution that uses a dual-pulley system to lift bicycles. This mechanical advantage allows for lifting 50 lb bikes with roughly 15 lbs of pulling force, making it a helpful tool for organizing a family garage. The design is versatile enough to work with ladders and cargo boxes as well as bikes, providing flexibility for different storage needs.
The system uses stamped-steel mounting plates and hooks that are dipped in rubber to provide scratch protection for bike frames. To ensure the most secure installation, it is recommended to use high-grade lag bolts when mounting the plates to ceiling joists. The high-clearance design is a practical feature for maximizing vertical space in garages where floor space is limited.
For the smoothest operation, the rope should be pulled vertically to help the auto-locking mechanism engage correctly. Managing the 45-foot rope with a wall-mounted cleat helps keep the garage floor clear of tripping hazards. This system provides an affordable way to move multiple bikes off the floor and into unused ceiling space.
- Dual-pulley design significantly reduces the effort needed to lift heavy bikes.
- Rubber-dipped hooks help maintain the finish of your equipment.
- Adaptable geometry fits various bike types and small ladders.
If you need a system with higher weight tolerances and reinforced straps for a cargo carrier, the StoreYourBoard Cargo Box Hoist is a strong alternative.
