What to Expect

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple bikes?** Space hoists about 60cm apart minimum - gives clearance for handlebars. Most garages fit 2-3 bikes overhead comfortably. **E-bikes?** Much heavier than normal bikes. Make sure your hoist is rated for the weight and fix extra-securely. Some need heavy-duty hoists. **Low ceilings?** If your garage ceiling is under 2.4m, bike hoist might not give enough clearance underneath. Measure first.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bike ceiling hoist in Newton Abbot
Will my ceiling support a bike hoist?
Depends on what you've got up there. Proper ceiling joists in a garage, yes - easy to fix to. Plasterboard ceiling without access to joists, no - won't hold the weight. I'll check what you've got and advise honestly.
How high does it lift the bike?
Right up to the ceiling basically - high enough to park a car underneath. The pulley system means you can easily lift and lower it when you need the bike. Common in garages where floor space is precious.
Can I fit it myself?
Possible if you're handy and have ceiling access, but it's awkward overhead work. You need to find joists, drill accurately above your head, test the weight capacity. Easier to get someone who knows what they're doing.
How many bikes can you hang?
One per hoist. Want multiple bikes up there? We install multiple hoists. Just need enough ceiling space and joists in the right places. Most garages can take 2-3 bikes overhead without issues.
What if I've got a heavy e-bike?
Standard hoists are usually rated to 20kg - fine for normal bikes. E-bikes are heavier (often 25kg+), so need heavy-duty hoist and extra-secure fixing. I'll spec the right kit for your bike weight.
