In this video I will show you how to build a bicycle storage lift that swings down from the ceiling so that you can gain back that precious floor space in your garage! This type of bicycle storage is fantastic because you will not need a ladder to access your bicycles. The entire frame swings down from the ceiling to allow for easy access to your bikes.
Even when hanging in the vertical position, it allows you to stack two bikes vertically and get them off the ground. What a great way to utilize your space!
Follow along to see how I built mine and see below for the materials I used to make this project.
Materials used for this build were as follows - As an Amazon Associate I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you):
► 2x2 Lumber
► 2x4 Lumber
► 3/4" Plywood
► 3/8" Threaded Rod, washers, nuts
► 3/8" Eye Bolts
► 1/4" Chain
► Structural Wood Screws: amzn.to/4e57try
► Worm Gear Winch: amzn.to/3ZpKFyd
► Steel Cable: amzn.to/47x7pOL
► Pulley Blocks: amzn.to/3B4lmaC
You can access the PDF drawings for this build here:
► thingiverse.com/thing:4616823
Be sure that you are using a worm gear winch, or at the very least a winch with an automatic brake to control the descent of the load. This could fall on your head if the winch is left to free wheel! Be careful and be sure your load is securely attached to your joists with anchors or structural screws. Do not just use wood screws to support heavy loads!
Can't build one yourself? As an Amazon Associate may I earn from qualifying purchases (at no extra cost to you):

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below! I try to answer every single question!
Thanks for watching!
