How Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist Works?

The ceiling mount bike hoist is a good storage thought for bike owners with small area. They are trouble-free to use. Here's how the ceiling mount bike hoist works.

Through the magic of science utilizing levers and pulleys, the ceiling mount bike hoist allows the lifting and lowering of bikes as heavy as 75 lbs high off the ground with ease.

If you have limited storage space for bike storage the ceiling mount bike hoist is something worthy of your consideration. They are effortless to install and easy to use. They can be put in a garage, dorm room, apartment, and virtually any place where you have access to the ceiling.

The space just below the ceiling is an area that is never used for anything. A ceiling mount bike hoist is an efficient space maximizes and uses this area to help store your bike high over head out of the way.

Usually mounted along the edge or the center of the ceiling, a bike hoist operates like a set of mini-blinds. The hooks of the hoist are usually attached to the bike seat and handlebars. All you have to do is pull on the rope to raise and lock the bike in the air.

When you want to go for a ride you only loosen the rope to lower it. On most hoists there is a safety mechanism in place so if the rope slips, it automatically clinches and stops. The rope of the hoist is usually left hanging free so it is easy to get to or you can attach it to a cleat affixed to the wall.

A ceiling mount hoist will not require the use of a ladder to use. You may need a ladder for installation-but that is the only time.

Regarding installation, remember it is advised to attach the hoist to a beam or stud in the ceiling so the device is well secured.

There are different versions of ceiling hoists for bikes available so you will want to shop around. Some even come designed so that they lift and lower the bike electrically at the touch of a button. Most bike hoists will lift up to 50 lbs. But there are versions available that can handle 75 lbs if that is needed.

The ceiling mount bike hoist can be a great and easy solution for bike owners, especially those that live in apartments, dorm rooms or have cramped garages.
