A bicycle lift is a system that allows cyclists to store their bikes at an off-the-ground level, which frees up space in garages, basements and other storage areas. It is particularly useful for children’s bicycles, which often need to be kept away from curious hands and legs.
The most common type of bike hoists are designed to install in ceilings and are capable of lifting a bicycle up to 50 pounds. They use a rope and pulleys to raise or lower the bike.
They can be easily installed and are a convenient alternative to hanging a bike from the ground. They are available in various sizes and can be used for a variety of bicycles, including road, mountain and e-bikes.
CycloCable is a bicycle lift that was first developed in Scandinavia and has been successfully used in Trondheim, Norway for many years. Now POMA Group, the French cableway company behind the system, wants to sell it to other cities around the world.
It is an inexpensive system that can be easily installed in any ceiling. It is made of sturdy aluminum and has an efficient pulley system that can easily lift a bicycle up to 50 pounds.
Installation is simple and takes only minutes. You simply screw in the two pulley sets to any studs in your ceiling. The distance between the two pulleys will need to be adjusted depending on the size of the bicycle you are storing. For example, a 16” bike will require a closer set of pulleys than an adult bike.
