Reclaim Your Square Footage

Most Charlotte garages have an unused twelve to eighteen inches of ceiling space sitting above the bay door. Our overhead racks turn that dead space into long-term storage for holiday decorations, camping gear, sports equipment, and anything else you only need a few times a year. Manual ceiling racks hold up to 750 lb. Wall-mounted overhead racks hold up to 1,000 lb. Motorized lifts with Bluetooth control let you raise and lower platforms from a phone. Bike and Jeep top lifters get the heavy gear off the floor without a ladder.

Overhead Storage Built For A Working Garage

All-Steel Construction

Industrial-grade steel construction throughout. The 2" lip around the perimeter holds your storage in place, even if a bin shifts. Color-coordinated finishes (Granite Gray, Desert Stone) match the rest of our garage system.

Up to 1,000 lb Capacity

Standard ceiling-mounted racks support up to 750 lb. Wall-mounted overhead racks support up to 1,000 lb per rack. The motorized smart lift platform is rated to 350 lb. We size and stage the system to your stored weight, not just the available space.

Motorized Smart Lift

Bluetooth-integrated motors raise and lower the platform from a smartphone app. No ladder, no overhead lifting, no awkward wrestling of heavy bins from a six-foot rack. Manufactured in the USA, lifetime warranty.

Adjustable and Expandable

Each 8' rack can combine with additional racks to form larger platforms. Mounting height adjusts up or down, so the system grows with your storage needs over the years.

Bike and Jeep Top Lifters

Dedicated Bluetooth motorized lifters for bikes, kayaks, and Jeep tops. The hardest things to store on the floor become the easiest things to store on the ceiling, retrievable with a button press.

Ground-Level Loading

Manual racks can be loaded from the ground, then locked into ceiling position. Skip the ladder entirely. Easier on your back, faster to deploy, and safer when you are loading heavy bins.

Quick Professional Install

Most overhead systems install in a single afternoon. We handle stud location, mounting hardware, leveling, and anchoring into the ceiling joists or wall framing. The job is done before dinner.

How An Overhead Storage Project Goes

  1. 1

    On-Site Measurement

    We measure ceiling height, locate joists, identify obstructions (light fixtures, garage door tracks, HVAC), and confirm the storage you actually plan to put up there. Weight, frequency of access, and item dimensions all drive the rack layout.

  2. 2

    Layout and Quote

    We lay out rack count, position, and any motorized add-ons. Quote is itemized so you can see what each piece costs and adjust scope before approving.

  3. 3

    Installation

    Manual racks install in a few hours. Motorized lifts and bike or Jeep top lifters add additional time for power and wireless setup. Most projects are single-day installs from arrival to walkthrough.

  4. 4

    App Setup and Walkthrough

    If you ordered a motorized system, we pair the app to the motors, run the platform up and down with you, and confirm safe load limits. You leave knowing exactly how to operate the system.

Overhead Storage Questions

How much weight can the overhead racks hold?
Standard ceiling-mounted racks support up to 750 lb. Wall-mounted overhead racks support up to 1,000 lb per rack. Motorized smart-lift platforms support 350 lb. We size each rack to your stored weight, not just the available ceiling space.
Will the racks attach safely to my ceiling?
Yes. Our installers locate ceiling joists, anchor through structural framing with rated lag bolts, and torque to spec. We do not anchor into drywall alone, ever. If the joist layout in your garage requires a custom mounting plan, we engineer one.
How does the motorized smart lift work?
The platform suspends from four Bluetooth-integrated motors. A smartphone app controls raise, lower, and stop. Load the platform at ground level, send it up to ceiling height, and lower it back down when you need the items. No ladder required.
Can I add more racks later?
Yes. Each 8' rack can combine with additional racks to form larger continuous platforms. The system is designed to expand as your storage needs grow. We keep your project specs on file so add-on units match the original install.
Will overhead racks interfere with my garage door?
No. Standard rack heights are designed to clear common bay doors and openers. We measure your specific clearance during the on-site assessment and adjust mounting depth so the racks sit above the door track travel.
Are the racks made in the USA?
Yes. The motorized smart lift system and the steel rack components are manufactured in the United States.
What is the warranty?
Motorized smart lifts carry a lifetime warranty. Steel ceiling and wall racks carry a lifetime structural warranty. Hardware and motor electronics are covered against defect during normal residential use.
