The RAD Sportz 4-Pack Hoist is a high-utility, budget-friendly option for families looking to clear floor space by hanging bicycles. While it is rated for up to 100 lbs, it is most effective for long-term use with standard bikes weighing between 55 and 60 lbs. This set is a practical choice for households with multiple cyclists, offering four separate lifts at a lower per-unit cost than buying individually.
The chassis is made from powder-coated heavy-gauge steel, and the lifting effort is reduced by approximately 50% thanks to the dual-pulley design. The hooks are rubber-coated to prevent scratches on aluminum bike frames and help resist corrosion over time. This makes the system a reliable way to store bikes in a garage environment where moisture or dust might be present.
Practical safety features include a gravity-fed locking pawl that acts as an "Auto-Lock" if the rope is dropped. For the best results, it is recommended to secure the brackets directly into ceiling joists using 2.5-inch lag bolts. While the hooks are optimized for bike handlebars and seats, they can also be used for light ladders if additional straps are used for balance.
- Includes four complete hoist systems for multi-bike households.
- Rubber-coated hooks provide scratch protection for bike finishes.
- Mechanical lock helps prevent accidental releases during operation.
For heavier items like automotive cargo boxes that require webbing instead of hooks, the Teal Triangle Hoist is a better-suited alternative.
