FLEXIMOUNTSGarage Lifting Metal Rack, 4x4 Ft Overhead Garage Storage Racks, Adjustable Heavy-Duty Ceiling Organization System, 300lbs Weight, Satin Black

Great product! Easy to install, and I'm impressed by the heavy-duty construction of the shelves. Very efficient product that is perfect value for its size. The storage shelves are more durable than I expected and definitely help to make more room for storing things in a cluttered garage and free up floor space. Exactly what I needed. Highly recommended!

There are some finer points of the installation that determine whether this will be perfectly level and how well it will operate. The template can be used to show the attachment points, or you can use a tape measure. It’s just 4 contact points. There’s a certain way that the cables need to be organized before attaching and tightening everything down. Again, not hard, but I could see how not doing it could be problematic. I wouldn’t try to install this if you don’t consider yourself at least moderately handy, have an impact to drill holes and screw in bolts, and a neck for lots of overhead work.

I bought this product to hang from the ceiling joists of my garage. I use it to store a large Curt hitch carrier and a large Yakima four bike carrier. Pros. It does work. Cons. It is virtually impossible to get it level. The hanging template for installation is hard to use, its main drawback being that it is too flimsy. I can see how the template would work better for a dry-walled ceiling where you can tape it more securely. It does not work well for an open joist ceiling. You will end up stapling or screwing it in place and it won't quit be right--a little sag. The instructions say that your joists must be 48 inches on center. Mine are but the platform is not level. I would say it has close to a three to four inch list side to side. It seems that the main problem with leveling is how the cords actually wrap around the axle and that on an open joist ceiling it is hard to get the template perfect. I would work better is there were guides for the cords when they wrap around the axle and the template was able to be securely fastened and less flimsy. The other problem is the mesh platform. It could be heavier duty, but works. I put OSB on mine to firm it up a bit. Like I said, it works, kind of. Would I recommend it. Yes, but with caveats. For what I use mine for, the price was right and I have a convenient place to store two very bulky items, and for that I can ignore the annoyances. An added note: you will want a drill to move it up and down. Hand cranking it takes a while.

Took some work to put it up, but I'm pleased with the result. The lift works well and using a power drill with it is quite effective. The winch has a brake that can be locked using the provided shaft, which gives me a measure of confidence.Given the build, this platform seems quite sturdy for the rated weight.

Garbage. Pain to put up. Doesn’t hang level. Do not buy.

My buddy bought something similar for 4x the cost and I think this is the same. Easy to install and sturdy despite the simple design. Using the crank by hand would take a long time with the pulley system, but using the cordless drill chuck on high speed as it is also designed will have it up and down 8 feet in about 10 seconds.

This is amazing!! Especially after having three shoulder surgeries, I love how this has a pulley mechanism to bring the whole lift down, so I don’t have to worry about heavyweights overhead. This is a pragmatic solution and I am extremely grateful. Yes the wires were slightly off kilter, but nothing serious as you can see in the pictures. If you’ve read this that far, the hack is instead of using the arm leveler. Use your drill to increase speed to bring it up and down faster!! ¨̮ you’re welcome

Not hard for one person to install. Had some trouble when winding it up, the cables/wire ropes didn't roll up right. Installation cardboard was hard to install to ceiling.
