The Best Overhead Storage System In the World.
Has your garage floor vanished UNDER a burial ground of forgotten items? Cars are banished to the elements? You’re not alone.
Between over the top DIY builds and the typical “screw-in” ceiling racks, it’s tough to know what actually works well—or what hidden risks come with each option.
-
Most production homes use engineered trusses with 2x4 bottom chords.
-
Those trusses are designed for dead loads + light live loads (like drywall, insulation — not vertical hanging systems).
-
Ceiling-mounted racks can drop as much as 300–700 lbs of unapproved tension directly on structural members never engineered for it.
What most homeowners don’t know is there’s now a portable, freestanding solution that is easy to assemble. It supports 2,000 lbs of weight on the floor, requires no drilling, no ladders and no hassle. ARackAbove ends all of the guesswork and it is yours to use for good.
Skip the costly, permanent DIY projects, the ceiling damage and the risk of voiding home warranties. Safely claim the overhead space you pay for, restore the floor, and finally park like you own the place.: ARackAbove.
🛑 The Problem with Traditional Solutions
When you’re trying to clear your floor, you typically have two choices—and both come with serious drawbacks, especially if your ceiling height is 8 feet. But ARackAbove steps through ceiling rack limitations and works fine in 8' ceilings.
1. The DIY Dilemma (Costly, Time-Consuming, Permanent)
| DIY Option | Cost & Effort | The Catch |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Shelving | $100–$200 for 2x4s and plywood | Requires skilled precision and experience to be safe. Permanent once built. |
| Complex Systems | $500–$2,300 for larger builds | Heavy labor, non-portable, major headache if you move. |
| Overhead Hooks | Cheapest and easiest | Fine for bikes and ladders—useless for bulk storage. Ceiling damage and unaccessible. |
2. The Traditional Mounted Rack Trap (Saferacks, Fleximounts, etc.)
| Mounted Rack Option | The Low-Ceiling Anxiety | The Big Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling Racks | 12–21" drop kills headroom in 7–8' garages | Requires drilling into trusses and joists—permanent damage. Not portable |
| Storage Capacity | Universal False Claims | Fact: 90% of ceilings cannot support 300 -700 lb vertical loads |
Stop overthinking the traditional means of storing items overhead—whether it's deciding what traditional ceiling-mounted rack is better, or using your attic, or those new ceiling hoist systems—they all suck!
They all share one huge, hidden downside that no manufacturer mentions: they must mount to your ceiling joists, asking those joists to hold a vertical weight they were NEVER designed to support.
ARackAbove eliminates every downside of traditional systems.
It’s freestanding. Portable. Rock-solid strong.
And it’s the only overhead storage rack in the world that assembles with no drilling, no ceiling damage, and no tools.
