Overview: Take the hassle out of loading and unloading your bikes with the Aluminess PowerLift Bike Rack. Designed for adventurers who value convenience, this innovative rack uses a power-assisted lift to effortlessly raise and lower your bikes. Whether you're headed to the trail or returning from a ride, the PowerLift makes the experience effortless.
Constructed from durable, lightweight aluminum, this rack can hold up to 155 lbs, making it robust enough for a pair of today’s most popular e-bikes. The rack has undergone extensive testing for both durability and vehicle compliance, ensuring it will stand the test of time while keeping your bikes secure on any adventure.
Features & Benefits:
- Battery-Assisted Lift: Utilizes a standard off-the-shelf drill battery (DeWalt 20V or Milwaukee 18V) for effortless bike lifting.
- Convenient Loading Height: Lowers the bike rack to a comfortable hip-height loading position of approximately 36 inches, depending on your vehicle's size and suspension.
- Easy Operation: Marine-grade, illuminated switch allows for simple up-and-down movement.
- Upper Safety Latch: Automatically latches closed when the rack is raised, providing secure bike transportation.
- Standard & High-Speed Rigging Options: Choose between two PowerLift rigging options - the standard configuration supports up to 155 pounds, while the high-speed option supports 100 pounds with a drastically faster lift & lower operation.
- Safer and Cleaner Bike Transport: Elevates bikes above dust and debris for cleaner and safer transport.
- Lower Storage Box Compatibility: Designed to fit an Aluminess Explorer Box below the upper lifting tray for additional storage. Please note, the PowerLift does not fit the Slim Box due to space and clearance requirements.
- Incorporated Grab Handle Design: Includes a vehicle-specific rear door handle relocation system to center the rack on the door while keeping your taillights visible.
