This product was a lifesaver, well a back saver to be honest, but still, one of my most satisfying purchases I’ve made in years. I had originally chosen a similar product that was $79 more and appeared to be little more hefty, however, after placing my order I received two shipping delays weeks after paying and was advised it would ship in another month or so. I decided to cancel the order and clicked on the similar items tab below the order and I am so happy I did. This product was considerably less expensive and it shipped immediately, arriving the next day. The ropes are steel braided and encased in color coded plastic to help ensure that setup is correct. The entire product is very sturdy and lifts and lowers evenly and flawlessly. I tried the hand crank but using my cordless drill made it effortless. I have a fishing kayak and gear loaded in it which altogether weighs about 150lbs. This thing has made loading and unloading such a breeze as I simply back my truck up to where my tailgate is even with the deck and slide it in the bed and simply do the reverse when unloading. No more back pain and frustration! I used to avoid going on a day trip because of all the hassle but this thing has made it so effortless. Installation was simple as the template is precise. You simply need to locate your joists (studs) and tape it firmly to the ceiling using the supplied tape, which is very strong. It’s literally that easy. I have every bit of faith that this thing can hold the 300lbs as advertised and probably more. This is a solid product and has saved space AND made loading and unloading a breeze. Review: Works Even Better Than I Expected - I bought this on recommendation from a friend. Its purpose was to act as a hoist to lift my Jeep Wrangler’s hard top off. After mountain it to my ceiling, not only does it perform this task perfectly it also serves as a storage location for my Freedom tops (t-tops) and anything else I can fit on it. The mounting itself takes a little planning if your rafters don’t run the right direction. To solve for this I bought a 2x6 and bolted the pieces I cut to size to the rafters. Then the hardware to the wood. Worth the effort for sure. It came with a rod to crank the gear the lowers and raises the rack. I use my drill to act as a motor for the same function and it’s a fantastic option. Perfect way to avoid ladders, get things up off the ground and in my case, enables me to remove my Jeep top by myself. I’m using ratchet straps to keep the top connected to the rack itself and up it goes. Build quality is good for the gear, hardware and rack. Everything seems strong and left no concerns about integrity knowing this could fall on my vehicle if quality was not high enough. Size of the rack is probably just right to manage install and storage needs. ## Features - Note: 71" shaft length exceeds 4' x 4' deck dimensions. Make sure the support beam is the appropriate length. Rack supports 12'', 16'' or 24'' ceiling beam spacing (Note: does not support 18'' beam spacing). The wire cover reaches its highest point at about 10 inches below the ceiling. - LIFT DESIGN: Use the included crank or power drill (not included) to raise and lower the garage storage rack, making it easy to place items without the need for a ladder. The maximum lifting range is 79 inches and the suitable ceiling height is less than 9 feet. - STURDY AND SAFE - Double rope design provides extra security compared to a single rope. Snap rivet design ensures a secure connection to prevent the shelf from falling off. Specially designed safety lock prevents any movement when not in use. - HIGH QUALITY - Made with heavy duty steel and premium hardware, this product is rigorously tested to withstand a total of 600 pounds, ensuring unmatched safety and durability. Safely load up to 300 lbs. - MAXIMIZE GARAGE SPACE: The 4x4 foot shelf gives you the perfect garage storage solution, protecting your belongings and using garage roof space to store seasonal and unused items. - Easy Installation The shaft with ropes comes pre-assembled, and the wire grid adopts an integrated folding design, greatly reducing the installation steps.

The shelving unit would tilt, posing a risk of items falling. **Q: What kind of garage is it suitable for?** A: The ceiling should be constructed of wooden beams or concrete. If wooden beams, the appropriate beam spacing is 12/16/24 inches. And the length of the axle is 71”, please make sure the beam is of sufficient length. **Q: Is it suitable for a ceiling height exceeding 10 feet?** A: We sincerely recommend ceilings not exceeding 10 feet. The maximum length of the pole used for raising or lowering the deck is 4 feet, so if the ceiling is higher than 10 feet, you may need to stand on a ladder to reach the pole. **Q: Issue: Uneven wire deck (higher on the pulley side).** A: If the rope passes through the axle from below, it indicates an incorrect rotation direction of the pole. Please lower the wire deck to its lowest position and Turn the winding rod anticlockwise to lift the deck. **Q: Why is my wire deck not level?** A: Please ensure the following four points during installation: Was it installed using installation template? Is the ceiling level? Is the installation distance correct? Is the direction of the rotating handle correct? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Need This *by T***E on 27 May 2024* Wow.

Fortunately, I do and purchased this for my hardtop for my vintage sports car. It’s large enough to accommodate my hardtop and safely stores it out of the way, but is readily available for times I choose to place my hardtop on my car. It’s easy to use, raises and lowers by attaching my battery powered drill or using the crank that comes with it. Its mechanism appears very sturdy and is designed to raise and lower evenly so stored items don’t fall off and is convenient to use, not at all cumbersome. Comes with a template and directions, which make it easy to hang, once you locate the ceiling joists. So overall, a nice product and reasonably priced. ## Frequently Bought Together - FLEXIMOUNTS GL1 Overhead Garage Lifting Storage Rack, 4x4 Ft Heavy-Duty Metal Garage Ceiling Rack, Adjustable Organization System With 71''L Axle, 300lbs Weight, Black - FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack, Adjustable Garage Storage Organization Systerm, Heavy Duty Metal Garage Ceiling Storage Racks, 600lbs Weight Capacity, Black - Bike Hoists - Overhead Pulley System with 100 lb Capacity for Bicycles or Ladders - Secure Garage Ceiling Storage by Rad Cycle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/715700308-fleximounts-gl1-overhead-garage-lifting-storage-rack-4x4-ft-adjustable](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/715700308-fleximounts-gl1-overhead-garage-lifting-storage-rack-4x4-ft-adjustable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
