Overhead Garage Storage That Doesn't Hang From Your Ceiling
Get extra storage space in your garage without putting heavy weight on your home's roof or ceiling frame.
How Floor Support Reimagines Overhead Storage
Traditional ceiling-mounted storage racks require anchoring into overhead ceiling joists or roof trusses. While these systems are common, suspended weight places a continuous dead load on roof framing.
Comparing Garage Overhead Systems
Understanding how storage weight transfers throughout your home helps you select the right system for your garage setup:
| Feature | Traditional Hanging Racks | ARackAbove System |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Support Point | Suspended from ceiling joists/trusses | Transferred directly to concrete slab |
| Roof Framing Impact | Requires drilling into structural members | Zero structural drilling into roof trusses |
| Weight Capacity | Limited by ceiling dead-load limits | Up to 2,000 lbs (floor-supported) |
| Accessibility | Often requires ladder access | Walk-around access with adjustable height |
“Truss members and components shall not be cut, notched, drilled, spliced, or otherwise altered in any way without the approval of a registered design professional.”
Why This Matters: Engineered roof trusses are built to exact load specifications. ARackAbove bypasses truss alteration entirely by supporting overhead storage from the ground up.
Easier Access, Less Overhead Strain
Beyond structural considerations, accessing stored items should be straightforward and safe. ARackAbove is designed to allow dual-side access without balancing awkwardly on ladders to reach bin corners.
