Simply load the 4-by-4-foot steel platform while you safely stand on the ground, then raise it to the ceiling by cranking the handle. It's great for boxes, tires, large tools, snowblowers, ladders, lumber, third-row car seats, canoes, kayaks, and more.The RacorPro PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift Storage Rack lets you load and lift heavy items to the ceiling for storage without the need for a ladder. It helps to free up valuable floor space in your garage or storage area and allows you to store heavier items, such as furniture, lawn mowers, tires, canoes, snow throwers, and more. The heavy-duty 4-by-4-foot platform is built to last and provides 16 square feet of additional storage space in your garage or storage area.

 Raising and lowering heavy items takes minimal effort, thanks to the lift's unique pulley system. View larger. |
The PHL-1R is both tough and durable, and it's built to handle heavier items up to 250 pounds. The heavy-duty steel support beams and 4-by-4-foot platform are made from high-quality materials that are made to handle tough loads and provide years of consistent performance. The unit is built to lower 8 feet from the ceiling, accommodating storage spaces with taller ceilings. The drill driver attachment allows you to raise and lower the platform using your own drill.
The unique pulley system makes it easy to raise and lower heavy items with minimal effort on your part. With a durable winding axle that works in conjunction with the pulleys and strong nylon cables, the PHL-1R handles the brunt of the weight so you don't have to, while raising or lowering the platform quickly and smoothly.
Safety Lock Ensures Safety and Stability
The innovative safety lock ensures that the load stays locked into place when fully raised to the ceiling. Simply use the winding crank to engage the safety lock when the platform is raised to its highest position, and use the winding crank's integrated hook to disengage the safety lock and safely lower the platform.
An Additional 16 Square Feet of Storage Space for Your Garage
The PHL-1R's tough 4-by-4-foot platform gives you an additional 16 square feet of valuable storage space in your garage or storage area. This allows you to store your lawn mower out of the way during the winter or to store your snow thrower during the summer months, clearing valuable floor space and creating tidier, more useful quarters.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift 4-by-4-Foot Cable-Lifted Storage Rack
Customer Review: Superb product!! My installation tips...
Summary: 5 Stars
Firstly, I equipped my four lifts with motors. These motors are 12VDC wheelchair lift motors. I power the motors with 25A battery charger/starter from Century.
Tip 1: Use the supplied lag screws, but drill a pilot hole for them with a drill bit that is the same diameter as the SHANK (the shaft part) of the screw. Racor sez to use a 1/8" bit... This is too small, and requires too much torque on the screw.
Tip 2: Assemble the t-section and two outriggers on the floor, using the four long screws for alignment of the outriggers with the t-section. Now rip from a 1x4 an edge piece 3/4" x 52" x 1/8" thick. Lay this ripping into the trough of the outriggers and t-section. Mark a centerline, the two other hole positions in the t-section, and the position of each set of four holes each outrigger. Drill these marks centered on the ripping with 1/4" bit. This is a template which you can tack to the ceiling along a joist, allowing you to accurately position each needed hole. Then have a drill driver handy with a 10mm socket. Also have a 10mm socket on a small 1/4" drive ratchet handle. The end bolts, above the wheels, are easier driven with the ratchet than by a drill driver socket. Set the first end bolt about an inch, then start each of the other three bolts for one outrigger. Draw the outrigger to within 1/4" of the ceiling. Attach the t-section using the two long screws and nuts and lag screw it in one or two places. Then attach the next outrigger with its two long screws, and set one lag screw near middle of outrigger. Once the t-section and two outriggers are loosely mounted, align the outriggers near center of the bolting slots and hand tighten the lag screws. Do not power drive the lag screws to the point of the lag screw head touching the metal. This should be hand driven only at the final tightening.
Tip #3: Use thread locker (Loc-Tite, for example) on the bolts/nuts that attach the axle halves and on the bolts/nuts that attach the outriggers to the t-section.
Tip #4: Add a pair of holes to the t-sections near the axle suspension points. Set hollow wall anchors into the ceiling, or screw into wooden members placed above these holes. This provides additional support for the overhanging portion of the t-section.
Tip #5: When you are ready to install the axle, use a piece of tie wire on one end to temporarily support the far end of the axle. Once you have the round end in place, be sure to install the retaining washer and bolt in axle end. Then on opposite end, which is supported by temporary wire, you will be able to easily install the t-section. The support wire is just a third hand in case you don't have a helper and spare ladder. You can tie the wire through outrigger holes and over to a temporary lag screw, which you have already spotted the hole for using the template, on the side where the outrigger is not yet in place.
Tip #6: Assemble the platform last, and assemble it while the side rails are already attached to the cables.
Note: Worm gear box is 14-to-1 ratio.
