{"product_id":"ceiling-sam-tote-slide-pro","title":"Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro – Overhead Garage Storage System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro is a heavy-duty ceiling-mounted overhead storage rail system measuring 75\" × 81\", rated for 450 lbs total load (30 lbs per tote recommended), holding 9–15 standard storage totes on sliding rails — designed to mount above the garage door in the dead ceiling space most garages never use. Industrial-grade powder-coated steel construction, patented modular design, DIY install with all hardware included in one box, Lifetime Limited Warranty. Made in the USA.

The Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro is engineered specifically for that zone: the 75\"×81\" rail system mounts directly to the ceiling joists above the door opening and holds 9 to 15 standard storage totes on smooth sliding rails — no ladder struggle, no reorganizing the garage to reach what's stored. At 450 lbs total capacity across up to 15 totes, it handles a full year's worth of seasonal gear, holiday decorations, camping equipment, and bulky bins in a single overhead footprint. 17-gallon totes hang 15\" from the ceiling; 27-gallon totes hang 18\" — clearing the garage door mechanism while keeping everything accessible. The modular design is expandable, and when you purchase two systems you gain an extra row of storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- EVIDENCE IMAGE: Close-up of Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro rail mechanism showing tote hanging position and powder-coated steel construction --\u003e\n\u003c!-- Alt text: \"Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro rail mechanism close-up showing tote hanging position, sliding rail, and powder-coated steel construction\" --\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee it in action:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cvideo controls poster=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/8145\/6984\/files\/preview_images\/649bb12083ff4109b08d1508f9e48840.thumbnail.0000000000.jpg?v=1776820976\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:560px;display:block;margin:0 auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/vp\/649bb12083ff4109b08d1508f9e48840\/649bb12083ff4109b08d1508f9e48840.HD-720p-4.5Mbps-82246812.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\n  \u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/vp\/649bb12083ff4109b08d1508f9e48840\/649bb12083ff4109b08d1508f9e48840.HD-1080p-7.2Mbps-82246812.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnother look:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Ceiling Sam Tote Slide Pro Overview\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ry3Fg2Vf324\" style=\"width: 100%;
