Safety in Garage Storage: Garage Ceiling Storage vs. A Rack Above
When it comes to garage storage, safety should be a priority, especially as we age. It matters most. That’s why Penthouse Storage Solutions, Inc. created ARackAbove — a better way to store overhead without risking your home or your safety.
Let’s break down the dangers of traditional overhead ceiling racks — and how ARackAbove rethinks safety.
Ceiling Racks are the Go-To for Overhead Storage
⚠️ 1. Truss Damage and Weight Risk
Drilling into ceiling trusses weakens your roof’s structure.
Even "heavy-duty" ceiling racks that claim to hold 400+ lbs can overload trusses that were never built for that kind of weight.
What can happen:
-
Sagging ceilings
-
Cracked drywall
-
Bent trusses
-
Even full roof failure
⚠️ 2. Hard to Reach, Easy to Get Hurt
Ceiling racks are usually mounted against walls. This makes it very hard to get to your stuff without a ladder — which means more chances for injury, falls, or frustration.
✅ How ARackAbove Solves It
ARackAbove is a freestanding overhead garage rack.
It supports weight from the ground — not your ceiling. And it stand between the garage door opener and the front wall offering easy access ANYWHERE along its 4 ft shelf.
✔️ 1. No Drilling. No Truss Damage.
It uses a tension design for the legs, keeping it stable between your floor and ceiling.
That means:
-
No screws
-
No damage
-
No stress on your roof
-
Fully adjustable to fit 1-, 2-, or 3-car garages
✔️ 2. Built for Safety and Strength
Made from rust-proof aluminum, ARackAbove is tough enough for Florida heat and humidity.
-
Holds up to 2,000 lbs safely on the ground
-
No ladders, no climbing
-
Your items stay secure and within reach
-
Your feet stay on the floor
✔️ 3. Simple to Assemble
Forget stud finders and ceiling drills. With just a few tools — a wrench, level, and socket — you can build ARackAbove in about 2 hours.
-
No installer needed (but you can use one if you want)
-
No ceiling damage
-
No permanent holes
If you move? Just take it down and bring it with you. It’s fully adjustable and 100% portable.
Safety First, Always
Traditional ceiling racks are risky.
They stress your roof, require ladders, and can void your warranty.
ARackAbove is different.

Safer
-
Smarter

It’s the last garage storage system you’ll ever need.
