Auxx-Lift Motorized Garage Ceiling Storage Lift - 400, 600 or 800 lb Capacity

The Auxx-Lift is the only UL-tested motorized garage ceiling storage lift available in 400, 600, and 800 lb configurations — suspended on vinyl-coated 7×19 steel aircraft cables (2,000–7,000 lb tensile strength depending on model), ceiling-mounted via 1-5/8" × 60" strut channels and SPAX® 5/16" × 4" lag bolts, and operated via 433.92 MHz wireless remote. Available in five platform sizes and up to four finishes. Over 20,000 lifts sold. Assembled in the USA.

Why Fixed Overhead Shelving Fails the Working Garage

Fixed ceiling storage requires a ladder for every access cycle, creates a static obstruction at head height, and cannot be repositioned once installed. The Auxx-Lift eliminates all three constraints: the platform descends to floor level on demand via wireless remote, stores at ceiling height when not in use, and programmable stop points prevent contact with the ceiling or floor regardless of operator input. The Auto-Stop safety feature activates if the remote loses connection or battery power is interrupted — the platform does not move without continuous Active-Press control input.

Structural Requirements: Ceiling, Joist, Circuit & Clearance

Watch the full installation walkthrough before you begin:

• Mounting Area Required: 5 ft × 5 ft minimum over 3 joists or rafters — verify joist spacing before ordering
• Joist Requirement: Must span 3 structural joists or rafters — not rated for single-joist or drywall-only mounting
• Lag Bolt Spec: (8) SPAX® 5/16" × 4" lag bolts included — minimum 2.5" embedment into structural lumber required
• Strut Channels: (2) 1-5/8" × 60" channels span across joists — confirm joist direction relative to desired platform orientation before installation
• Ceiling Height Minimum: 8" clearance required above platform at stored position — account for platform thickness (2.5") plus load height when calculating ceiling clearance
• Circuit Requirement: Dedicated 15 amp, 110V/120V circuit within 10 ft of mounting location — extension cords are not rated for continuous motor load
• Platform Size Selection: 800 lb (1800) is 4×4 ft only — choose 400 lb (1400) or 600 lb (1600) for 3×6, 3×8, 4×6, or 4×8 ft platforms
• Motor Selection: 400 lb (1400) for seasonal gear and bins; 600 lb (1600) for heavy equipment and tool cases; 800 lb (1800) for maximum payload in a compact 4×4 footprint
• Extension Kit Compatibility: Available for all three models — confirm compatibility at checkout

The GarageForm Difference: Technical Authority, Not Just a Catalog

Technical Screening: We don't list overhead storage products without vetting them. The Auxx-Lift has been verified for UL test compliance, motor IP rating, cable tensile strength specification, and structural mounting requirements to ensure the performance data on this page reflects the actual product — not marketing copy.

Direct Expert Support: We serve as your technical interface. If you need assistance calculating ceiling clearance for your specific load height, verifying joist spacing compatibility, selecting between the 400, 600, and 800 lb motor configurations, or confirming circuit requirements for your garage electrical layout, our experts provide pre-sale consulting at no charge.

Straightforward Purchasing: Free shipping on this lift. If the Auxx-Lift doesn't meet your structural or dimensional requirements after delivery, our return process is handled by our specialized team — not a generalist call center.
