Hi, i need more space, so i looking for a bike storage for the wall. If possible, with lift function. Does anyone know of such a thing?

I have not seen a lift, but here are some bike storage links.

There are various pulleyed storage systems out there. Usually designed to mount to a ceiling or overhead location. But with little creativity could be adapted to a wall I suspect. But I also wonder why a lift is needed. Is the bike too heavy to lift? Andy.

Something like this?

I just buy "J" shaped hooks at any hardware store for about a dollar or two each. Screw them into the ceiling studs and hang bikes from the front or rear wheel.

I Have a couple of those lifts (from Lowe's not Sears). The mechanism is OK, but the rope that is provided is the worst stuff that I have ever seen. I ended up replacing my rope with a braided poly rope similar to climbing rope.

I also got a couple of those pulleyed ceiling mounts (cheap, like $15 or 20 for a pair of them off eBay?). They are for the two bikes that least often get ridden. (The rest of the bikes share a homemade rack)

I agree with dweenk, the rope is really terrible, but they've held for 3 years now, but nowhere near regular use. One bike has only come down and up probably once or twice over that time, the other pulley was used maybe 20-30 times, and the rope is VERY shaggy. But probably not near failure.

If you're mounting them fresh though, it would be worth it to spend $5 or something to replace with say a 50-foot pack of 1/4" braided nylon rope from Lowe's or Home Despot or Ace or whatever. Figure out beforehand what length(s) you want, and either buy it off the roll at that length, or ask a worker to help you use the hot cutter to cut up packaged rope, I bet they'd do it for free. Rope ends that are cut with a proper hot-knife are way better than anything you can accomplish with a knife and lighter.

Paracord would also probably work well, and can be had in large quantities for cheap.

I like the hooks. 7 hanging in the garage and two more in the workshop. Think of it as exercise (pretty minimal unless we're talking heavy tandems or such) to lift on and off the hooks.

Duplicate thread in Mechanics merged into this one in General Cycling.

Neat trick - just wrap your wheels with velcro(loop side, of course), and put some velcro on your wall(hook side of course). You won't need a lift, since you'll be able to just give your bike a little toss, and like magic! It sticks to the wall!

$53.99 at Sears, or you can buy the exact same thing at Harbor Freight for $10.

I bought one from Harbor Freight and hung a 51 lb kayak up into the rafters of the garage with it.

I used paracord on mine for the kayak. Since the kayak is a good bit longer than a bike (13 foot) I had the pulleys spaced apart quite a ways which I had to lift one side at a time, but it worked well. Would work great for a bike with only a few feet between the pulleys.

I took up the short wall in my garage with two standard frame hanger racks stacked one atop the other (up high) and then used two of the wheel hanger hooks for the trikes (which complete an L shape for the mudroom wall). I then take and use the "stand" part of my hitch mount bike carrier to hold the fifth bike out in front even with the wall. I am tall enough that hanging the bikes wasn't really an option to be able to walk under. The trikes are heavy enough that it required finding a stud in the one wall, and mounting some plywood for the other. In this way, I take up about the same amount of room as the riding mower, and can claim and keep that area for the pump and other assorted bike stuff without it being blocked or stacked under.

To produce bike storage with lift function is our main job.
We are a small factory from germany and we produce only in germany (not like VW ) - so if you're interested, look on

Our Homepage is at the moment only in german available
We're also interested in your feedback

6 hanging at my place this way.

That's freakin' awesome! I'll bet it's expensive, though. It looks expensive.

Bicyclejack

It looks epencive? That's nice to read
But expensive is relatively: 139€/piece. And at the moment there is 10% discount on it. The price is very low, even without discounts - for this construction. I produce it together with my wife. So we have no big overhead, everything is done by our own. We also have clients with Parkinson's disease, which can park their bikes with bicyclejack. I'd love to hear more opinions for our system - if everyone like, you can send me a mail: info@bicyclejack.de
Perhaps there are ideas about what could be improved, which is particularly important to you?

noglider 

I like this product.

kevindsingleton 

That's very slick, and not expensive (with free shipping!).

So many ways to skin a cat!

r.bacardi@onlin

thank you
i like the bicyclejack storage system, that's pretty cool and for this construction it' not expensive i think

I like the option to fold away the bikes to both sides, after parking
I ask for the shipping cost to atlanta for 8 pcs...

The problem with bicycles is that they have a high volume-to-displacement ratio. If they were liquid instead of solid, they would fit in small containers.

Garfield Cat

That would be a watered down approach.

Juan Foote

Why does this thread have that creepy shill for "bike jack" feeling?

Is it the two posters with two posts upselling it from vastly different geographical locations, or is it just me?

RubeRad

I agree, mods should probably take a look.

Hooks and/or something like @noglider posted. I personally like hooks from the ceiling. I use rubber coated/bike hanging specific hooks which are mounted to a 2x4. That is seperately mounted across studs in the garage ceiling. Very sturdy
