Can these hooks be used to hang bicycles from a rafter? The rafter is about 2", one bike has a bar of 2 1/2", and the other bike has a bar of 2"x4".

The location and the weight of the items is fine for the hooks. What would be a better idea is to find a hook opening which is a bit wider, which would help you on lifting the bike up as high as it seems you may need to. These hooks are not wide enough to give you the wider opening to catch the bike easier and quicker without you possibly having to try several times and becoming flustered and tired. These hooks can handle what you want to use them for, again, I would just recommend a wider hook opening.

I dont think it would hold it, by weight or the curve in the 's' isnt big enough either. these are to hang pots from a rack

I believe they would be sturdy/strong enough to hold a bicycle, however the hook on each end only measures approx 1", so it sounds like it is probably a bit to small...hope this helps!

These hooks would be much too small to cover a 2 inch rafter and much too weak to hold the weight...I would not hang anything over 5 to 7 pounds from one of the hooks. They are ideal for pots and light plants etc.

I am not sure , but don't think so. They were more like for hanging a plant. they were nice,

I'm using it with a full sized road bike. I have the rear tire on the ground, so this hook holds the front wheel. Distance from the wall to the inside of the hook is 4.25". Because I have this going into drywall anchors, I take the weight off it by having the rear wheel on the ground. If the rack was screwed into wood, then you could suspend a bicycle in the air easily.

Peggy I told you the wrong item. These hooks are 4" wide and you can place them as wide as needed.Thanks

there are 3 answers to the dimensions of these hooks and they're all very different... can someone answer this in l x w x h

Yes. We have hybrids, mountain and road bikes - even kids bikes on ours! The hooks move so you can adjust to what you need. Best purchase for bike storage!

No, hook "opening" is just over 2 inches. You might use pliers to stretch them out a bit, particularly if you're looking for a tighter fit (mine hang loose from a long bar).

The hooks are approx. 5.5" at the longest side. I am hanging lawn chairs from them over 2"x4"'s in the garage. They would not hang to the bottom of a 2"x6" but close.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

The hooks are about 3 1/4" long (hang down about that far) and a little over 1 1/2" wide.

I am unable to climb up on a ladder and measure the brackets. I can tell you that the holes for mounting are right in line on the center of the brackets. There should be no problem concerning the width of the beams.We used some small bunji cords to hold the cords in place between the bike and the brackets. You might not need this on a standard bike, but we have a tandem bike. hope this helps.

I'm not going to say "no" because I think they'd be "strong" enough... however by using only 2 hooks you're basically creating a swing... If you picture something like a tire swing with 4 chains verses a wooden swing with 2 you can think of the stability of the former versus the latter. Any time you use only two anchor points on a pendulum you'd be creating two directions the entire rack can swing. I think for the best safety and stability you'd really want to use 4.

Yes the bar is 2". The hooks are 4-6" long. It is very sturdy. You just need someone to drill the holes. Installation is very easy!!

I have used them for securing bicycles to a bicycle rack. I would speculate, maybe the diameter of your index finger. Maybe one of the smaller sizes offered by Amazon would serve you better.

I looked at a photo of that bike and if you have the proper carrier/rack to mount these baskets onto, I don't see why not. Looks to me as if the bike has all kinds of mounting points for that sort of project, it's just a matter of choosing a good one that will work with the bike, and accommodate those baskets.

I don't believe so due to the width. These are designed to hold the trop bar on a bike.

Not unless you install large weight bearing hooks. It works best on rafters or hanging from a pull up bar

there is only about 3.5 " between each hook, they might not hang property but would work the other way hanging from the back of the caps
