Expert Answers about Gear Up
- Kayak Carrier Recommendation to Secure Kayaks to the Interior of an Enclosed Trailer
- I have a better solution for you. Since you are planning on installing the kayak carrier on the inside of an enclosed utility trailer I would recommend the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146. This system comes with straps to secure the kayaks to the mounts and would work great for you.
I attached installation instructions for this carrier for you to check out as well.

- I would recommend the Gear up Wall Mount Kayak Carrier part # GU44011. I spoke to my contact at Gear Up and she said that this would work well installed on a concrete wall and would hold up to inclement weather just fine. She did recommend you apply a coat of rustproof paint to the rack before you install it just for added security against corrosion.
I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

view full answer... - Recommended Ceiling-Mount Bike Hoist and Storage System for Trike
- We do offer a number of ceiling-mount bike hoist/storage systems that can be seen on the linked page. These vary in their weight capacities from 50- to 100-lbs.
For a very cost-effective option you might consider the Gear Up Bike Hoist System # GU40026 which has a 75-lb weight capacity. They also offer a 100-lb rated system # GU40030.
view full answer... - Would the Gear Up Bike Rack Fit Ceiling that is 119 inches Tall
- Actually 119 inches is a little less than 10 feet so the storage rack part # GU10025 that you referenced would fit and work well without needing any type of spacer.
If you meant to say 11 foot 9 inches you could still use this rack, but since you would have to make a 9 inch spacer you would want to made a very stable and solid platform.
view full answer... - Bike Stand Recommendation for Storing Bikes that Doesn't Strain Spokes
- The height of the Gear Up Grand Stand Floor Bike Stand # GU37010 that you referenced is 8 inches. Typically most brake rotors would not hang low enough on a the bike wheel for this to cause any interference.
This rack is width adjustable so that you can set it up to be as tight to your bike wheel as possible. This would prevent the bike from being angled too hard and putting strain on the spokes.
What might be a better option for you would be the Hollywood Racks Bicycle Parking Stand...

- According to the Specialized website the Epic Comp 29 is supplied with 2-inch wide tubeless tires. The Gear Up Grand Stand Floor Bike Stand # GU37010 is adjustable to fit various tire widths up to 2-1/4-inches so it will work fine for your Comp 29.

view full answer... - Recommended Wall Mount For Perception Tandem Kayak
- I recommend the Gear Up Deluxe Wall Mount, part # GU44012 for your perception Tandem Kayak. This wall mount has arms that hold the kayak and also features a handy accessory bar that will store a paddle or other accessories. It has a weight capacity of 100 lbs and the design allows you to fold the storage arms against the wall when not being used.
view full answer... - Would the Gear Up Bike Rack Part # GU40011 Fit Over 2 Inch Wide Board/Door
- The Gear Up Bike Rack Part # GU40011 that you referenced is designed to fit doors that are up to 2 inches thick.
If your plan was to fit the rack over the 2 inch wide portion of a 2x4 this rack would fit and work well.
view full answer... - Wall Mounted Bike Rack and Cable Lock Recommendation
- I have a solution for you, but there's no great way to lock a bike to the # GU12000 that you referenced.
A better choice would be to get the bike rack part # GU40015 and then use a cable lock like the part # 8122D. You would want to thread the cable through the bike's frame and the wall mount rack.
view full answer... - Picture of Bikes Stored with Gear Up Deluxe Hoist System # GU40030
- I attached a picture that we got from a customer that shows the Gear Up Deluxe Hoist System # GU40030 being used to store a couple bikes.
There really isn't a good way to store a bike on it's side on the ceiling as there isn't a safe way to grab the bike.
view full answer... - How Close Together Could You Install the Gear Up Solo Vertical Wall Mount Bike Rack
- Since handle bar widths can range pretty widely (anywhere from around 20 inches to 30 inches) I would probably go with the wide end of that range and put one every 30 inches or so. I would also have them at staggered heights so that the handlebars would end up being at different heights for even less interference.
view full answer... - Wall Mount Bike Hanger to Fit Fat Bike Tires
- The Gear Up Solo, part # GU40010, fits up to 2-1/2 inch tires so it will not fit fat bike tires.
However, instead you can use the Steadyrack, part # B-SRFT-001, that fits up to 5 inch tires.
view full answer... - How Far Apart Can Brackets be Placed with Gear Up Deluxe WaterSports Hoist System # GU40030
- I checked with my contact at Gear Up about the installation of their Deluxe Hoist System # GU40030. According to my contact this system's nylon cord might be just a bit too short for your wall 10-feet-away if the brackets are spaced at 8-feet. You can simply attach an extra length of nylon cord (at least the same thickness as the supplied cord) to allow it to comfortably reach your preferred location for the tie-down cleat.

view full answer... - How Wide of a Tire Will the Gear Up Deluxe Park Bike Rack # GU30032 Accomodate
- I went out and grabbed a Gear Up Deluxe Park Bike Rack # GU30032 from our warehouse to measure it to see how wide of a tire it could accommodate and it will fit a tire that is up to 2-1/8 inches.
The distance between the upright bars of the rack is 2-1/8 inches.
For a bike stand to accommodate 2-1/2 inch wide tires you would want the 3 Bike Floor Stand # S64018.
view full answer... - Recommendation for a Storage Rack for 2 Kayaks

view full answer... - Bike Rack that Can Install in Van Cargo Area Recommendation
- For a similar style of bike rack that is designed for securing a bike to the floor of a vehicle like your van you'd want the # HRT970. The Gear Up Platinum you referenced isn't designed to be secured to the floor of a vehicle or secure a bike to it that's in a moving vehicle.
view full answer... - Can the Gear Up Bike Stand Work with a Penny-farthing Antique High Wheel Bike
- The Gear Up bike stand # GU37010 could potentially work for your antique Penny-farthing bike. The stand will fit on tires up to 2-1/4 inches wide. The only thing is that due to the height of the big front wheel the bike could prove to be top heavy and you may need to lie something heavy across the legs of the stand. But that depends on the weight of the bike.

- The Width of the Gear Up Extreme HD Kayak Cart # GU44130 when assembled is 28-inches. It has a heavy-duty weight capacity of 200-lbs and breaks down for easy storage inside your boat or backpack.

- The diameter of the upright poles that go through the drain holes in the sit-on kayak measure 0.84 inches at the top black cap and 0.74 inches on the metal of the pole.
The uprights are adjustable to fit kayaks with differently spaced drain holes, but I have the spacing at their widest point. At the top the spacing is 22 inches, and at the bottom the poles are spaced 13 inches. I have attached a diagram showing these measurements for you.
view full answer... - Can Gear Up Hang 2 # GU44009 Kayak Storage System Be Used for Canoes or SUPs
- Canoes typically weigh between 50-80 lbs. As long as the canoe weighs less than that 90 lb capacity of the Gear Up Hang 2 # GU44009, it would work fine for a canoe. It would work well for SUP's as well.
We are located in Wentzville Missouri, which is a western suburb of St. Louis. If you wish to order the Hang 2, you can do so online, or by speaking with one of our Customer Service folks at the provided phone number.
You can view a product demonstration video featuring the Hang 2...
view full answer... - Are Web Straps in Gear Up Deluxe Hoist System # GU40030 Long Enough for 8-1/2-ft Zodiac Boat
- The Gear Up Deluxe Watersport Hoist System # GU40030 that you referenced has a weight capacity of 100-lbs which may be enough for your Zodiac depending on its version (wood or inflatable floor) and its equipment. First I would suggest making certain that your craft does not exceed this item's capacity.
The adjustable web belly straps included with this item are long enough to reach around a typical kayak hull but not your Zodiac. But you can simply use separate straps like # EM51314...
view full answer... - Dimensions and Weight Capacity of Gear Up Black Max Wall Mount Folding Kayak Storage Rack GU44013
- The Gear Up Black Max Ultimate Wall Mount Folding Kayak Storage Rack # GU44013 consists of a pair of (2) wall-mount folding rack arms as noted in the item's specs. The arm length dimension is 25-inches as you noted.
Each of the two arms has a 100-lb weight capacity so when both are installed on a suitable mounting surface the two have a total weight rating of 200-lbs for a single boat. Since the Wilderness Systems Tsunami 125 kayak weighs only 51-lbs this rack will have plenty of capacity...

- The nuts inside the knobs on the Gear Up Simple Man bike work stand # GU40014 are fixed and cannot move inside the knob. They are in a nut shaped hole in the knob so when you turn the knob the nut stays in place and can't rotate independently of the knob.

view full answer... - Can Gear Up # GU44100 Kayak/Canoe Trolley Be Used for Pontoon Pond Boat
- Due to the design of a pontoon pond boat and the 20 inch spacing between the upright arms of the Kayak/Canoe trolley, I'm not sure how you'd use a single trolley to carry the boat. You'd be better off using two of them, one on each pontoon. Each trolley would have a 150 lb capacity.
view full answer... - Can the Gear Up Uno Wall Mount Ski Storage Rack # GU46010 be Used for Powder Skis
- It looks like most powder skis are between 98 and 125 mm in width at the waist. The Gear Up Uno Wall Mount Ski Storage Rack # GU46010 that you referenced has hooks that are 5 inches long 127 mm). So you would need to compare the widths of the ends of your skis to that figure to determine if this rack would work for you or not.
