I want to get a ceiling rack of some type to hang my tandem in the garage. Can anyone make a recommendation? The typical hooks in the ceiling aren't very practical for the tandem. Most of the pulley types I see on the interwebs look too flimsy for that bike. ANy suggestions appreciated.

Why not just build one?"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I suppose I could respond by asking which part of your rack involves the ceiling? But I won't.
I want to get my car, or anything else, under it. I don't have room on the walls for hanging bikes. Thats why I ask about ceiling racks.
I really don't mean to make this a big deal. I just need to get the tandem off the floor. And up to the ceiling.
If this Eye-talian company can set one up for a tandem, that will be the answer, I think.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

These are similar to what I have. They aren't perfect, but they do the job. My main complaint is that the hooks aren't designed really well to really grab the underside of the seat. They are fine holding on to the handle bars, but they've occasionally slipped off the saddle when I was hoisting it up.

How about this? I've had a kid-sized wooden picnic table hanging up in my garage for years using it, so it's strong enough.

The sultry looks that chick gives when she uses the rack make me think maybe it’s an aphrodisiac, so it’s got that going for it as well!
