If you’ve got a bit of stuff to store, but it’s too heavy to manhandle up onto shelves, then have a look at the Racor HeavyLift . It’s designed to be mounted to the ceiling, very securely obviously, and it can lift and store up to 110kg. The platform is 1.2m square (4′ x 4′) and it can travel 2.4m (8′) so you can tuck it away up high and still bring it down to your level. It’s probably slow going raising and lowering using the hand crank so why not pick up the optional power drill attachment to drive the lift. What else could you want for US$117.95.

Load and lift heavy items to the ceiling without using a ladder. Easy storage for file boxes, outdoor furniture, lawn mowers, big tools, snow throwers, large toys, canoes, kayaks, holiday ornaments, tires, ladders lumber, third row car seats and just about anything else you can imagine.
