This 3x8-foot overhead shelving unit provides a significant amount of narrow storage, making it ideal for the perimeter of a garage or the space above a garage door. The frame is constructed from cold-rolled steel and features an open-grid wire deck that makes it easy to see what is stored from below. The vertical supports can be adjusted between 22 and 40 inches, offering versatility for different ceiling heights and storage needs. The black powder-coated finish provides a layer of protection against the elements in non-climate-controlled spaces.
While the static load rating is listed at 600 lbs, real-world stability is best maintained at lower weights, especially when the support arms are at their maximum 40-inch extension. To prevent swaying, it is important to distribute weight evenly across the 24-square-foot surface. For a more secure installation, organizers often replace the standard zinc-plated lag bolts with hardened steel hardware to ensure the rack remains firmly seated in the joists over time.
For a lifting system that allows you to raise and lower your items without a ladder, the Fleximounts GL1 lifting rack offers added convenience.
