Raising and lowering heavy items takes minimal effort, thanks to the lift’s unique pulley system. View larger.Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacity for Heavier Items
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.

Good product. Unforgiving design. After shopping for a garage ceiling storage system, I purchased this device. I was attracted to the ability to raise and lower the platform to load and unload items. This avoids the obvious pitfalls of using a ladder to hoist large or heavy items up from the ground.In summary, I am reasonably happy with the overall product with some exceptions mentioned below. However, I will caution potential buyers that the design of this device is unforgiving. Unless your ceiling joists are…

Here’s a better approach than the manual shows I just finished my install today. Plan on at least 4 hours for this project. The joist do not have to be EXACTLY 48″ as other reivews stated. That is the MOST the distance can be. You can be as close as 46 1/2. There is play in the bar that attaches the two ends.Here’s my contribution to make this easy and keep it a one person job. Get a 4 foot piece of 1 1/4 lattic piece of trim. You can find it at any big box hardware store. This will be used as your template when drilling…

Nice but installation instructions come up short. This is a great storage solution for garages with high ceilings. Once installed the heavy lift works very well.One drawback is that many garages have a double layer of 5/8″ drywall on the ceilings as mine did. The mounting lag bolts are only #12(the metric equivilant) screws 2″ long which is woefully short if the extra thickness of drywall is considered. The only easily available lagscrews I could find that were longer were 1/4″ by 3″ long. These were too large in diameter to…
