Demand for garage storage products continues to climb as home buyers seek more storage options across the whole home, including the garage.
Beyond the standard storage items found in the garage from cabinets to slatwall, homeowners are literally looking up at the potential of overhead storage using automated storage lifts.
Advantages of overhead storage are that it frees up floor space and provides easy access to stored items.
Several products on the market include the following:
The Garage Organization Co. says its Power RAX Motorized Ceiling Storage System allows home owners to lower the storage platform off the ceiling with the push of a button. The unit comes with a 110V standard plug in motor, mounting systems, cables, pulleys and steel storage deck. powerrax.com
