The Racor Hoist Monster and the Kettler Bicycle Lifter are the competition for this product.I have tried all of the hoists that I mention.The Racor and Kettler have one continuous rope that routs through all the pulleys--so they have 4:1 mechanical advantage.This product has 2 independent ropes, so it only has 2:1 mechanical advantage.YOU CANNOT LIFT 200 POUNDS WITH THIS PRODUCT--with only 2:1 mechanical advantage you have to be a strong person to lift 50 pounds.The advantage of this product is that you can control the front and back pulley independently.If you don't need this capability, buy the Racor for $21 if you don't mind a bit of a cheap feeling product (but it works fine), or buy the Kettler for $50 if you want a super slick product that works beautifully and has the best locking mechanism.Click Here to see more reviews about: Sport Solutions Up and Away Deluxe Hoist System for Kayaks, Bikes, Ladders, etc.
Product Description:
The Up-and-Away Deluxe Hoist System can lift up to a 100 lb item. It's perfect for a kayak, bike, canoe, ladder, etc. and ideal for overhead garage or dorm room storage. With its no hassle mounting system, you mount a separate bracket to the ceiling or to an open 2 X 4 joist. Then, bolt the pulley system to the mounted bracket.
