Racor Ceiling Mounted Bike Lift #PBH-1R Customer Review: THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
The hoist works fine, once it’s installed, but it’s a pain to do without a good drill and drill bit. These are ideas to consider:

1. The wood screws are not good. I mounted to a high (11-ft), dense beam, and the screw heads easily strip. I had to use a larger drill bit than the 1/8-inch they recommend because I couldn’t torque the screwdriver and not strip the heads.

2. In California, we have to worry about earthquakes. I found the perfect solution. At Home Depot, they sell, for $5, these devices that include a carabiner on one end that you can attach through a hole in the hook and a 3-ft bungee cord, which is then attached to another carabiner, which I fastened to the bike. I used them on both sides. Thus, if an earthquake occurs, I know the mountain bike won’t bounce off the hooks and on to our washer and dryer.

3. It’s really important to make sure the hoists are mounted directly above the seat and handlebars to get the smoothest action.

I find that even I had no problems lifting the bike with the hoist, and I’m small and light weight.
