Garage Gator Motorized Bike Lift GG8220 overhead storage 220LBs.
Product Description
The Garage Gator GG8220 is a ceiling-mounted, motorized bike lift built to clear bikes, kayaks, and other bulky gear off the garage floor. A 3/5 HP motor lowers the 6-9 ft. adjustable lift bar to ground level so you can hang your gear, then raises everything overhead at the push of a button — no ladder, no lifting bikes over your head.
The GG8220 is rated for up to 220 lbs, enough for a full rack of 8 bikes or a mix of bikes and other bulky items. A keyed wired controller (11.3 ft. cord) keeps the lift from being operated by anyone without the key, and the kit includes everything needed for a ceiling installation.
Items the lift system can lift include (but are not limited to):
- Bikes
- Kayaks
- Canoes
- Golf bags or backpacks

- Electric motor hoist
- Push-button wired controller (11.3 ft. cord)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bikes can the GG8220 hold?
The GG8220 is rated for a total of 220 lbs, which typically fits up to 8 bikes on the included storage hooks, or a mix of bikes with other gear like kayaks or golf bags, as long as the combined weight stays under 220 lbs.
Do I need any tools I don’t already have to install it?
The kit ships with the motor mounting plates, ceiling mount, channel plate, and all installation hardware. You’ll need a drill and a way to safely work overhead (a sturdy ladder), and it helps to have a second person to hold the motor while it’s mounted.
What ceiling height does the GG8220 need?
The lift bar is adjustable from 6 to 9 ft., so it fits most standard garage ceiling heights. Measure the distance from your garage floor to the ceiling joists before ordering to confirm your bikes will clear once raised.
How is the lift operated?
A wired push-button controller (11.3 ft. cord) raises and lowers the 3/5 HP motor. The controller is keyed, so only someone with the key can operate the lift — useful if kids are in the garage.
Can I store items other than bikes on it?
Yes. The lift bar and hooks work for kayaks, canoes, golf bags, and backpacks in addition to bikes, as long as the total weight on the bar stays within the 220 lb rating.
Is this lift for indoor or outdoor use?
The GG8220 is designed for indoor use only, such as an enclosed garage.
What’s the difference between this and the GG8220CK kayak lift?
Both use the same 3/5 HP motor platform, but the GG8220 ships with 8 bike storage hooks for bikes and mixed gear, while the GG8220CK ships with straps sized for kayaks and canoes. If you’re storing bikes, this is the right kit.
What voltage and amperage does it draw?
The GG8220 runs on standard 120V / 60Hz household power and draws 4.5 amps, so it plugs into a normal garage outlet.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes — contact Garage Tools Storage customer service for current warranty terms on the GG8220 before or after purchase.
Is professional installation available?
Most customers install the GG8220 themselves using the included assembly PDF. If you’d rather have it installed, Garage Tools Storage can connect you with a local assembly partner — contact customer service for details.
