HOBS (Horizontal Overhead Bike Storage)

The HOBS is a revolutionary new product that allows you to reclaim the floor space in your garage that your bicycles take up. The HOBS is a counterbalanced device that is easier to use than a pull-down attic stair. It will store your bicycle, flat on the ceiling, giving you that extra space for your automobile or other valued items.

SPECIAL! - $40 off HOBS units purchased for Do-it-yourself installation!

HOBS is Easy to Use

  1. Simply roll your bicycle up to the HOBS and place it on the pegs – NO LIFTING IS NECESSARY.
  2. Squeeze the release latch on the handle and slide the bicycle up the boom with ease.
  3. Push the boom to start it on its way, and the counterbalance spring does the rest.

With an 8’4” ceiling, there is 6’10” of headroom under the HOBS with a stored bicycle on it, enough room to park most vehicles that will fit in a garage.

How it Works

The HOBS uses two hi-tech springs to lift the weight of the bicycle for you.

Inside the boom is one of these springs. It is linked with a cable & pulley system that pulls on the lifting pegs with approximately the same force that is required to lift a bicycle. This makes it easy to raise or lower your bike.

The other spring pulls the boom up to the ceiling as the boom rotates about the pivot pin. This spring goes into an over-center lock position when the boom is in the down position so that you don’t have to worry about the bike lifting before you are ready.

Think of the things you could do with your new found space!

Benefits of Owning a HOBS

  1. Have you ever wished that you could pursue a hobby in your workshop or garage but were discouraged by the clutter? A bicycle requires 9 square feet of floor space – about the same space as required for a table saw.
  2. Most people store a few hundred dollars worth of bicycles in their garages while leaving tens of thousands of dollars worth of automobiles outside for the elements to prey upon.
  3. Think of the security of having your automobiles AND your bicycles inside your garage at night!
