I FLY Posted April 3, 2014 Share I remember seeing somewhere that there was a lifting system that was mounted on wall. Then thule bike rack was connected so that bike rack could be used as a bike storage But I cannot find it on Google or Hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangar Posted April 3, 2014 Share I remember seeing somewhere that there was a lifting system that was mounted on wall. Then thule bike rack was connected so that bike rack could be used as a bike storage But I cannot find it on Google or Hub. I'm no expert here, but if it's a towbar rack then you could perhaps just buy a towball, some pipe as spacers if needed and some rawlbolts/chemical anchors to achieve the same? Or am I understanding wrong.

V12man Posted April 3, 2014 Share http://www.thegarageguy.co.za/ Are the chaps who used to do it - don't think they are in business anymore. Here is the video - you can probably get any competent diy guy to build this yourself - the hoist motor is from Adendorff.

Grebel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Should be simple enough if you own a drilling machine, a welding machine and a hacksaw. All you need is some steel, a pulley, the winch and a bit of creativity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izak Posted April 3, 2014 Share Cool idea and really should not be that hard to build at all. You do really have to be running out of space in a serious way if you want to do that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fork-it Posted April 3, 2014 Share I am also considering this. DIY project. And perhaps you don't have to use an electric motor, a hand winch may do the trick. Also, I would try and mount the bike rack on the number plate end to free the other end to be able to lift the rack from my car and lower it back onto the car using the winch/motor. PS, I have a home made bike rack, so minor changes apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
