Fixed Overhead Bin Storage for Garages Where Every Inch of Ceiling Counts
The Ceiling Sam Bin Slide is a fixed-rail overhead storage system built for garages where you need organized bin storage in a specific location — above a workbench, along a wall, or in a ceiling zone that a larger adjustable system can't reach. The 40.5"×65" rail mounts directly to ceiling joists or wall studs and holds 5 standard 17-gallon totes or 4 standard 27-gallon totes on smooth sliding rails — pull any bin out without disturbing the others, no ladder gymnastics required. At 200 lbs total capacity, it handles a full set of seasonal bins in a compact fixed footprint that keeps the floor clear and the storage accessible. Made in the USA.

Installation Requirements, Bin Compatibility & Mounting Considerations
Watch the full installation walkthrough before you begin:
- Mounting Location: Mounts to ceiling joists or wall studs — verify joist or stud spacing at the intended installation location before ordering; the 65" rail dimension must align with available structural attachment points
- Ceiling vs. Wall Mount: Ceiling mounting puts bins overhead and out of the way; wall mounting positions bins at a more accessible height but uses wall real estate — choose based on your garage layout and available ceiling clearance
- Bin Compatibility: 17-gallon totes (5 bins) and 27-gallon totes (4 bins) confirmed compatible; verify bin lip/rim dimensions against rail specifications before purchasing non-standard bin sizes; bins are not included
- Per-Tote Load: 30 lbs recommended per tote — total system capacity is 200 lbs; do not exceed 30 lbs per individual bin even if total system load is below 200 lbs
- Fixed Rail vs. Tote Slide: The Bin Slide is a fixed-dimension rail system — it is not modular or expandable; choose the Tote Slide (37.5"×81", 3–5 totes, 150 lbs) or Tote Slide Pro (75"×81", 9–15 totes, 450 lbs) if you need a modular, expandable system designed specifically for above-garage-door installation
- Bin Slide vs. Storage Elevator: Choose the Bin Slide for fixed overhead bin storage in a specific ceiling or wall location; choose the Storage Elevator series for lowerable platforms that bring storage down to floor level without a ladder
