Silverline Bicycle Lift 20 kg (554289)

Very well manufactured, sturdy, easy to install. Great value for money, so much that I bought 4 ,Two of which I'll use for another purpose such as elevated clothes rack....

The brackets are well made and the hoist routing is easy to assemble however, I feel the ‘hooks’ that sit inder the saddle and handle bars could be better designed to capture the contact points. Whilst the bike is in the required position, the hook engagements leav3 me thinking it is a little precarious. Additionally, the handle bar, forks and front wheel rotate off the centre line when hoisted. This may not be an issue if you have adequate width but could be if you wanted to hoist more than one bike in parallel. The strength of the black cord, whilst generous in length, is a bit weaker than I expected. Fine for the bike’s weight but I’m unsure how long it will last after months of raising and lowering..

Cycle lift: All round delighted, great kit, I didn't expect the safety lock to work but it does. Clearer instructions on how to feed the cord through the main pulley block woud be helpful. Bought two more after the success of the first one. Excellent value for money.

At £10 what's not to like. Surprisingly good and just what I was looking for to save me from having to risk life and limb up my rickety steps getting my ladders down (and up) from my garage rafters anymore.Others have pointed out that the lifting hooks leave something to be desired and I modified mine with some 5mm bolts set into the ends (see photos) to make a better hook for the ladder rungs. This mod also serves to hold the rubber boots in place which otherwise slide off by themselves. If using for a ladder I believe this mod is essential to avoid a falling ladder while translating up or down from time to time.The supplied screws are indeed junk. Throw them in the bin. In reality 6 x 1.25" 8s are plenty, 2 for one bracket, 4 for the other if fixing directly into wood.The simple cord brake is surprisingly and reassuringly effective and quickly learned. Indeed a degree of trial and error to figure out what works best is necessary with the whole device and it needs using carefully. Definitely not idiot proof.The supplied very long cord is more than adequate for me to be able to lower my ladder all the way to the floor. My rafters are 2.7m above floor.Delighted.

You only get what you pay for!!Not the best designed bike lift out there that's for sure, the hooks are not fit for purpose and the cord used is very inferior too.However if you do a few modifications you can turn this into a super piece of kit.Firstly ditch the hooks, they simply don't attach securely to the bike (the last thing you need is your bike falling off), I replaced the hooks with two pieces of flat bar drilled out either end so bungees could be hooked through, the bungees hold the bike securely and don't rub or scratch the bike. Secondly replace the cord with 4mm para cord, you'll find it much better quality, and it will run much more smoothly.It's also a good idea to fix the lift ends to a length of 100 x 25 PSE before mounting to the ceiling, you'll find it much easier to secure the lift to the ceiling by using it as a fixing batten.One good thing is the cord locking mechanism once the bike is lifted, simple but very effective.If you have some odds and ends laid around your workshop to do the modifications then it may be worth your while buying this, if not, go buy a better quality lift, as it's simply not fit for purpose out of the box!!

In my case it wasn't a direct fit as where I wanted to hang the bike was at 90 degrees to the direction of the rafters. I cut a batten to attach across three rafters and fitted the pulley brackets to that on the bench - much easier than working over your head and you can get the distance between the pulleys to match your bike. A couple of quick-clamps held the batten to the rafters while I screwed it in place.The pulleys are attached to the brackets with a stud. This allows you to free off the nut and rotate the pulley 90 degrees if that aligns to the direction of the rafters better if you aren't fitting a batten.It isn't precise engineering but it is robust and operates smoothly. The locking mechanism is very effective and jams the rope unless the tail is under tension straight down. I haven't dropped a bike on my head yet!As other reviewers have said the supplied rope is a bit thin but plenty strong enough. On the whole, it is simple, robust and it works.

Delivered on time easy to put up. A great space saver gets the bike up out the way.

Incredible and it's a workout at the same time. Luckily in the hallway of the apartment I've high ceilings, so I thought this would be idea to use some of that space. Nobody noticed the bike coming in the door and even the estate agent said it was a brilliant idea.Luckily we had ladders long enough to reach and at one point it slipped, but everything was fine and I was able to fix it back into place.The only thing I'd recommend is changing the rope that comes with it, my dad had put the initial rope up but it's very skinny and you could see the wear and tear a week later and I'd only taken the bike down once.My dad has two of these in his garage so he said the thicker rope would be more durable.

Molto bello per la facilità di montaggio e soprattutto di utilizzo. Dopo il rientro dal giro in bici, molto stanco, è molto comodo alzarla con le carrucole senza fare sforzi. Perfetto

Bon produit, rien à direRobuste et pratique à l'usage

Mangelhafte Bedienungs bzw. Montageanleitung.Macht was es soll,bei einem EBike traut man dem ganzen nicht,hält aber stabil

Excelente idea, bien ejecutada.Estos soportes con poleas son geniales para poder rescatar algo de espacio en tu garaje.La cuerda aguanta suficientemente, aunque yo la cambié por otra mas PRO, mas recia y que no se deshilache, y evitar que salga de las poleas.Y ya que vienen los tornillos, deberían incluir los tacos, quizás. 4 tornillos por soporte bien instalados son mas que suficientes (a menos que pretendas colgar una moto o a la suegra !!!).En mi caso, acentué la curvatura de los ganchos para obtener un plus de seguridad, y luego los recubrí con tubo de goma transparente para evitar el contacto entre metales bici-soporte, y evitar ralladas.Sobre si sube o baja mas de un lado que de otro... la física es la que es !!!! Si los ganchos están anclados donde deben en la bici, por mas que no suba/baje recta, no caerá jamás !!!!Artículo de buen precio y mejor resultado.

El sistema es bueno, solo que las roldanas tienen mucha distancia y la cuerda se sale. Lo malo es la cuerda que trae porque como el techo es muy alto se cortó y tuve que salir a comprar una mejor. el resto muy bien
