The RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist is a dual-pack system designed to reclaim floor space by lifting bikes or ladders toward the ceiling. Each hoist utilizes a 1.8mm stamped steel bracket and a pulley system that reduces the effort needed to lift a bike. The hooks are finished with a PVC coating to help prevent scratches on handlebars or frames. This setup is particularly helpful in high-ceiling garages where bikes would otherwise take up valuable footprint near the cars.
While the theoretical capacity is 100 lbs, tests show the mechanism is most reliable when used with standard bicycles under 50 lbs. The rope-locking cleat is designed to hold the load in place, but it requires a consistent angle of pull to engage and release correctly. For a more secure installation, organizers often choose to replace the included mounting screws with high-strength lag bolts to ensure the brackets remain firmly anchored to the ceiling joists during operation.
If you prefer a hoist that mounts to a dedicated rail for better alignment, the RAD Rail Mount Lift provides a more structured lifting path.
