FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack, Adjustable Organization System, Heavy-Duty Metal Ceiling Racks, 750lbs Weight Capacity, Black, Classic Series

I recently had the FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack professionally installed to finally clear out my cluttered garage floor, and it has exceeded all expectations. This heavy-duty system completely transforms wasted ceiling space into functional, rock-solid storage.FleximountsHere is how it performs compared to the competition:Installer-Approved Design: I hired a professional to handle the mounting, and he immediately noted how much better this rack is engineered compared to other brands he has put up. The integrated wire grid-to-frame design means fewer loose parts to fiddle with, making it significantly more rigid and less prone to warping than multi-piece competitive frames.FleximountsUnmatched Weight Capacity: While many standard ceiling racks on the market cap out around 550 or 600 pounds, the heavy-duty cold-rolled steel construction of the Classic Series safely supports up to 750 lbs.FleximountsMassive Storage Volume: The dropdown legs adjust from 22 to 40 inches below the ceiling, giving you up to 105 cubic feet of storage space. This is perfect for safely holding bulky seasonal gear and large storage totes entirely out of the way.

Easy to assemble with clear instructions included. Some minor damage like bent probably due to shipping but overall , this is a gem especially if you’re looking for a space in your garage. Very sturdy and very good quality. I installed it by myself and it took me 3 hrs. the challenging part is how you locate and find joists. Even if you have a stud finder it is very difficult so if you have access to attic, it makes it really easy. Take note! Use impact driver and a 13mm socket coz i find it very hard to install the lag bolts from ceiling joists using a regular drill. Going to buy again and I recommend this product.

These shelves are well made, packaged well, and arrived in perfect condition. They included all parts necessary for the installation. I installed a total of three shelves in my garage and they are sturdy and look good. The installation is slightly challenging and sorry you are not going to get a shelf installed in an hour. I am totally satisfied with these shelves.

I'll start by saying these are very sturdy, well designed racks that, when installed properly, will easily carry 600lbs worth of stuff. That being said, here are some important bits of information:1. The minimum distance of 22 inches is not true. It is more like 22.75" that .75" makes a big difference when you are hanging the rack above a garage door. If you are planning on installing these above your garage door, make sure you accurately measure the max height of your garage door when it is partially opened, not when fully opened. There are Youtube videos on how to do this. 22" would have been perfect but since they hung 3/4" lower, I had to modify the hanging brackets to raise the rack. Do not do this unless you really know what you are doing! BTW, I ordered a two pack of racks, both racks were 22.75" minimum length.2. I am experience in home renovation and construction. I had all of the correct tools to do the job and then some. These racks take several hours to install. You will not properly install the 4X8 rack in less than 5 hours or over you lunch hour like some reviewers claim. Ain't gonna happen. Plan on at least 6 to 8 hours for your first one.3. The hardware is very good except for the bolts needed to secure the brackets to the platform. The bolts are short and the allen head is soft. If you are using an impact driver, plan on buggering up a few of them. A brand new bit that is the proper size will eat into the bolt head as soon as a significant amount of torque is applied. Compounding this is the fact that the threaded holes in the platform that these bolts go into are not cleaned out. I had a bolt laying around that was the right size and longer and used it to clean out the pre-threaded holes in the platform. This made the assembly process easier, but took longer.The first rack took me almost 8 hours to install. Learning from the first installation and applying that to the second rack, I was able to install the second rack in 5 hours and that was with my ceiling joists already marked.Bottom line: You will not be disappointed with the capacity of the 4X8 rack. Just plan on taking some time to get it installed.

Good quality storage rack. I got the 4x8 version. If you are a DIYer, assembly is fairly straight forward. Lots of parts to assemble so plan your time accordingly. It's all metal and is heavy. I'm 60+ and was able to install by myself but just barely. You can assemble alone but final installation (hanging) really should be done by two able people. Also, don't assume your ceiling trusses all run the same direction or are equally spaced. Yes, they should be and that's what I assumed without checking before ordering. To my surprise the trusses ran one direction for the first 4 feet then switched direction for the second 4 feet. This odd configuration greatly increased the installation difficulty for me, so check your trusses before you order. In the end, I'm glad I bought this rack and enjoy having more floor space now in my garage. I'd recommend this product.

This is the perfect addition to the garage for extra storage very sturdy. I highly recommend.

I put this 4' x 8' version up on my 9' garage ceiling so it only hangs down about 24 inches. I have 24" OC studs in my ceiling and with the rafter orientation I had to span across that gap with the ceiling brackets which of course are long enough to do so with about an inch to spare on either end. The layout and installation takes plenty of planning and measurements and a stud finder is a must if you have a finished ceiling. I'm 66 years old and I performed the entire installation without help. The only part that would require help is getting the 4' x 8' assembled deck in position to hang from the four corner vertical hangers. The corner hanging brackets are unique in that they have kind of a U-channel that you lower the deck into and it will hang prior installing any screws. I got the deck in place by using two ladders spanned by a big piece foam and it didn't take much to lift each corner and engage the vertical bracket. Then tighten all the screws and you're good. There are 6 vertical hanging straps on this unit which I thought made more sense than the four hangers on a similar size product at Costco.com. With an 8 foot long deck I would think supports in the center of that span makes everything more secure. And this product is about $50 cheaper than the Costco version. After tightening all the screws and supports it is quite solid with only a bit of movement which would be expected from a hanging structure like this. All in all, very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it for getting stuff up out of the way. For the handy person it isn't a difficult installation, with some overhead drilling and driving lag screws into the rafters. The only (slight) complaint is, the hardware provided has absolutely no spares as sometimes these kinds of products do, so don't drop anything and let it roll away! I got down to the last screw on one of the center hangers and thought I was one screw short but it was in my pocket. Doh! Should have used a magnetic parts tray!

Good product. Assembles well. Sturdy and if mounted properly does hold the weight.

This overhead storage was excellent price and it is exactly what we were looking for. It has 8 tires on it and 6 big storage boxes! Super sturdy!

The storage rack is very easy to setup, but probably needs 2 people to install. I’m not a handyman and the longest time was spent finding the studs on the wall.It will help a lot if you have some power tools, my hands & legs were so sore the next day as I don’t have power tools and have to tighten everything manually using the tools they provided.In the beginning during installation, I had to drill some holes to test for studs as my stud finder sometimes gave wrong readings. Once I know the location of the studs, it was easy to install. My wall studs (vertical) are 16 inches apart and there is a horizontal stud on top, while my ceiling studs are 24 inches apart. For the back of the rack, I screwed the ceiling bracket to the top of the wall, parallel to the stud. For the front of the rack, I screwed the ceiling bracket perpendicular to the studs on the ceiling. My son helped me by holding the ladder to make it steady, and lifting the wire grids as they’re heavy.Pros:* Smart design, hard to go wrong during setup & installation. For example, for the vertical brackets, there’s 2 of them, one with square holes and the other with round holes, if you make mistakes, the screw won’t fit in.* Strong, good quality, & durable rack* Hold 600 lbs.* Adjustable height* Comes with tools for installation* Fast delivery. When I ordered the 3x8 rack, delivery time shows 1 week even though I’m a Prime member, probably the item is not as popular as the 4x8 rack, which can be delivered the next day. However I was surprised when Amazon delivered the 3x8 rack in 2 days.Cons:* No extra screws, so don’t lose them* No diagonal support brackets, so it sways a bit horizontally, but I guess once you put some stuffs, it won’t sway anymore as the rack will be heavy.* No hooks included

Both racks were used for overhead garage storage. Very strong and holds large capacity of boxes and storage totes.

I recently purchased the FLEXIMOUNTS 3x8 Overhead Garage Ceiling Storage Rack1 and I must say, it’s a game-changer for garage organization. This heavy-duty metal rack, with a weight capacity of 600lbs, is not only well-built and sturdy but also offers a multitude of mounting configurations.The installation process was straightforward and took around 2 hours with two people. The package includes all the necessary hardware required for installation, which is a big plus12. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the assembly process a breeze.One of the standout features of this rack is its adaptability. Our studs were not spaced at the standard 24", but we were still able to install the top brackets perpendicular to the joists, using two screws per bracket. This flexibility allowed us to customize the installation to fit our specific garage layout.The rack’s design is impressive, with an integrated grid that makes it more stable and sturdy compared to others with separate frames and wires. It’s also height adjustable from 22" to 40", providing lots of storage. This feature is particularly useful for storing seasonal and unused items, freeing up valuable floor space in the garage.In conclusion, the FLEXIMOUNTS 3x8 Overhead Garage Ceiling Storage Rack is a high-quality, durable, and versatile storage solution. It’s well worth the investment for anyone looking to maximize their garage storage space.

Very pleased with the materials. The ceiling pieces can be rotated 90' so you can fit parallel or perpendicular to ceiling joists even though the instructions don't show this clearly. We used joists on one side and fixed to the studs in the wall as there was no joist overhead at the wall.
