The Fleximounts 3x8 system is designed for high-capacity overhead storage, utilizing a cold-rolled steel chassis that features a long-ceiling bracket. This bracket is designed to span two joists, which provides added structural redundancy compared to single-point mounting systems. The wire grid is integrated directly into the frame to help prevent the sagging that can occur with multi-piece mesh decks. The telescoping vertical supports are secured with high-tensile bolts, allowing for a drop range of 22 to 40 inches from the ceiling.
The 600 lb capacity is a theoretical maximum for evenly distributed static weight. To ensure the best results during installation, it is recommended to use high-quality structural screws if your ceiling joists are made of older or particularly soft wood. This modular system is also compatible with various add-on hooks, allowing you to hang bikes or tools from the bottom of the rack to further maximize your garage's vertical space.
If you only need to store specific "lipped" storage bins rather than a variety of items, the Handt Tote Rail system provides a more streamlined, rail-based approach.
