Load, lift, and store up to 250 pounds of heavy items against the ceiling with the cable-lift storage rack from Racor. Without having to bust out the ladder, the rack lifts stored goods up to 8 feet in the air for storing against high ceilings. With 4 square feet of storage space, there's plenty of room for several large boxes, planters, hoses, tires, and more. Steel support cables offer optimal stability and are vinyl coated for rust resistance. Heavy-duty support beams ensure plenty of support for full loads. The system raises and lowers with the handy winding axle. Just to get you started; here's a list of some of the things you might put up there: file boxes, outdoor furniture, lawn mowers, big tools, snow throwers, large toys, canoes, kayaks, holiday ornaments, tires, ladders lumber, third row car seats and just about anything else you can imagine. --Brian D.

I just purchased two units for my garage. Installed both this past weekend. Using for miscellaneous items we don't use very often. I read many of the reviews which helped tremendously with the installation. The first took about 5 hours - 2 of which were locating studs and eating lunch. The second took just under three hours. I was able to do it by myself thanks to the previous posts.

A few things to consider. I used a very small drill bit to locate the studs (joists). There is a clear difference in a bit going through drywall and then into wood. I then measured 48" and did it again. I have a few extra holes that I had to patch but they are very small and made it easy to locate the edges of the studs.

Before I pre-drilled holes for the bolts I put the support together and then laid it on the top of the box it came in. I then traced it out, marked the holes and cut it out with a box cutter. This gave me a template for marking my holes and pre-drilling.

Remember to remove the cable wheels before installing the support. It is hard to drill the holes and secure the bolt with those in place but can be done with a socket wrench.

Also remember to decide which end you want the crank. It only fits one of the supports so you need to decide before putting them up.

The directions weren't much help but the previous reviews helped alot. The set up is pretty self explanatory but the installation requires some mental exercise before starting.
