Motorized Lifts & Ceiling Storage Elevators
Want overhead storage without climbing a ladder? Garagezilla offers both fully motorized and drill-powered lift systems so your storage platform comes down to you.
Ceiling Sam Ceiling Storage Elevator
Ceiling Sam’s ceiling storage elevator is a clever, drill-powered lift that lets you raise and lower your overhead platform using a cordless drill. It’s an excellent choice for standard garage ceiling heights and homeowners who want convenience without the cost and complexity of a permanent motor.
- Perfect for common ceiling heights (typically 8'–11')
- Drill-powered operation—no hard-wired motor required
- Ideal for totes, boxes, and seasonal items
- Great middle-ground option between a fixed rack and a motorized lift
It’s a great way to get “no ladder” convenience and safe, overhead storage at a more approachable price point.
ONRAX Ascension Motorized Lift
For the ultimate “dream garage” experience, the ONRAX Ascension AS48 motorized lift brings a 4' x 8' steel platform up and down at the push of a button. It’s ideal for tall ceilings, heavy loads, and clients who want the most convenient solution available.
- 4' x 8' motorized lift platform
- Powerful electric motor with wall-mounted controls
- High load capacity when properly installed
- Fantastic for tall garages and luxury builds
We’ll review your ceiling height, structure, and electrical access to make sure an Ascension lift is the right fit for your space, then handle the entire installation.
Which Lift Is Right for My Garage?
Not sure whether to choose a stationary rack, a Ceiling Sam elevator, or an ONRAX Ascension lift? Garagezilla will walk you through the options based on:
- Ceiling height and structure
- How often you access the items you’re storing
- Budget and overall garage project scope
- Future plans for cabinets, flooring, or other upgrades
You’ll get a straightforward recommendation and a professional installation either way.
Ceiling Sam Slides & Accessories
Ceiling Sam’s slide systems turn your ceiling storage into a highly organized, easy-to-access solution. These accessories pair perfectly with your racks and lifts to keep gear sorted and within reach.
Tote Slide Storage
Dedicated slide systems for storage totes keep bins in neat rows overhead. Slide them out when you need seasonal décor, camping gear, or archived items, and slide them back up out of the way.
Bike Slides
Overhead or wall-mounted bike slides make it easier to park and store bikes without wrestling them off hooks. Great for families with multiple bikes who want a cleaner, safer garage.
Custom Overhead Layouts
We can combine stationary racks, elevators, lifts, and slide systems into one cohesive overhead storage plan that matches your cabinets, flooring, and overall garage design.
Overhead Storage FAQs
How much weight can these overhead racks hold?
Load ratings depend on the specific product and how it’s anchored to your ceiling structure. Many of our systems are rated for several hundred pounds when properly installed. During your consultation, we’ll review your joists or trusses, recommend the right system, and make sure the setup is safe for what you plan to store.
Will overhead storage work with my ceiling height?
In most cases, yes. Stationary racks can be adjusted for different drops from the ceiling, and lift systems like the Ceiling Sam elevator or ONRAX Ascension can be configured for a wide range of ceiling heights. We’ll take measurements and design a solution that fits your space and vehicles.
Can you integrate this with cabinets and new flooring?
Absolutely. Overhead storage is a perfect complement to our garage cabinets, slatwall systems, and polyaspartic or Swisstrax flooring. We can plan everything together so your garage looks intentional and functions better from day one.
