What You Should Know About Saferacks
So you're sick of not having anywhere to store your stuff, and you want to change that by installing some new garage storage. Maybe you already have decent wall storage for hanging tools, bikes, and other stuff, but you've still got bulky bins to take care of, and a lot of them, too. You need some heavy-duty garage storage, and what's more, you need it off your floors - but with only so much space left available on your walls, what can you do? That's where Saferacks come in.
What Are Saferacks?
Saferacks are a popular brand of overhead storage racks designed to help homeowners maximize unused ceiling space in their garages. In situations where you're lacking in free floor space, Saferacks can be used to store heavy, bulky items without sacrificing precious floor/wall space.
Saferacks are popular in large part because they're so strong and durable. Saferacks are manufactured from industrial-grade galvanized steel that's powder-coated to protect them from rust or corrosion, and they maintain excellent safety and performance ratings. While their holding capacity varies depending on the size of the Saferack installed, they can hold a maximum of 600 pounds per rack, with a maximum storage volume of 120 cubic feet.
That means they can handle a heavy load with ease. Bulky bins, auto parts, machinery, tools, sports equipment, seasonal decor... you name it, Saferacks can support it, so long as it's within your allotted weight/space capacity. And you don't have to store stuff only inside your Saferacks, either. You can hang bikes, tools, and other equipment off the bottom rack as well, further maxing out their storage potential and freeing up floor space!
Are Saferacks The Right Fit For Your Garage?
If you need extra storage space and have the overhead room to spare, the answer is likely "yes." One of the other great aspects of Saferacks is their customizability - they come in a variety of different sizes and are height-adjustable, so you can tailor your storage space to your needs. Whether you have high clearance and want to open up as much space as possible, or you need to keep your overhead storage space compact to accommodate a low ceiling, Saferacks can work for you and your garage. They can also be equipped with drop-down hanging bars for mounting ladders, taking a lot of the hassle out of reaching your overhead storage.
Saferacks are a somewhat pricier investment compared to some storage systems, but it's an investment worth making. They're strong, practical, and durable enough to withstand years of use, so long as they're properly installed and not loaded over capacity. If you specifically need space-saving storage for particularly heavy or bulky items, or even if you just want something reliable you can use to store general "stuff" and open up your garage's floor space, Saferacks make for a very useful and reliable option/
Saferack Installation
While Saferacks can be installed at home by the homeowner, the manufacturer highly recommends using an authorized Saferacks installer or a qualified handyman. This will ensure that your Saferacks are mounted properly with nothing compromising their stability, and it also saves you the time and effort of having to mount the Saferacks yourself. Authorized installers also carry additional sizes and quantities, so if the Saferack you ordered doesn't fit properly, they can adjust the order and find a viable alternative instead.
