About this system

The Storage Elevator™ is the original retractable overhead storage system, invented in 2015 by the family that pioneered steel overhead garage storage back in 1998. Instead of climbing a ladder, you lower the platform down to you with a standard power drill, load it at knee or waist height, and lift everything safely to the ceiling. We recommend loading at knee or waist height; do not lower the platform all the way to the floor, so the cables stay under tension. Those cables are certified rigging cables, and the Storage Elevator is the only overhead lift with turnbuckles, so you can level the platform by hand without tools. There is no built-in motor to burn out, because your drill does the work.

Every unit is hand-assembled in Oregon from heavy-gauge American steel with Grade 5 hardware, and it is backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. Don't buy the copy-cat. Buy the original.

Add solid plastic privacy sheets to your 4'X8' Storage Elevator™ or Storage Elevator™ Pro to conceal stored items and give the platform a clean, finished look from below. One kit covers one 4'X8' platform.

Rock-solid with no movement
I've worked with a lot of garage storage systems, and the CeilingSAM Storage Elevator immediately stood out. Once installed, it feels completely rigid, no sway, no flex. You can tell it is engineered to be solid, even before loading it up.

Ditched the budget option, night and day
I tried one of the cheaper ceiling lifts first and quickly realized it wasn't something I trusted above my vehicle. The materials felt flimsy and the hardware didn't inspire confidence. I returned it and went with the CeilingSAM Storage Elevator instead. The build quality is obvious, and I finally feel comfortable putting real weight overhead.

Quality you can see and feel
From the finish to the hardware, the CeilingSAM Storage Elevator is clearly well made. Everything lined up perfectly during install and the instructions were easy to follow. This isn't comparable to entry-level systems, it is in a completely different category.
