Overhead Ceiling Racks, Overhead Storage Racks About Overhead Storage & Best Uses in the Garage What is an Overhead Storage Rack? It is a large high weight capacity garage storage platform that is usually installed into the ceiling of a garage, directly into the ceiling joists or trusses. Best uses for this product are homes with higher than average garage ceilings or with significant space over the garage doors to the ceiling when the garage door is in the up position. They can also be placed along walls, as well as directly over your vehicles if your garage ceiling is high enough. Many of our clients use them in tandem with more accessible Wall Shelving Systems, and use them to store larger items, or items not accessed frequently over the garage doors.
