Overhead Storage Solutions

Store It Overhead, Free Up the Floor

Make use of the most wasted space in any room: the ceiling. Our overhead storage racks mount securely overhead to lift bulky, seasonal and rarely-used items up and out of the way, freeing valuable floor space below. Built from heavy-duty steel and installed with basic tools, they turn dead ceiling space into storage that works in almost any room.

Ceiling-Mounted Storage That Works in Any Space

When floor space runs out, look up. Our overhead storage racks and ceiling storage systems turn unused ceiling space into serious storage capacity. Built from cold-rolled steel with load capacities up to 360kg, they hold everything from storage tubs and luggage to tools and equipment, all kept safely above head height and out of your way.

Whether it's a storeroom, laundry, shed, stockroom or workspace, an overhead rack keeps the floor clear and your gear within reach. Each rack is height-adjustable, so you can set the drop to suit your ceiling and clearance, and you can install it yourself with basic tools.

It's a simple idea with a big payoff: the same footprint, but far more usable space. Instead of stacking boxes in corners or losing a room to clutter, you send it up and get the floor back.

  • Reclaim Your Floor Space

    Move bulky, seasonal items overhead and free up the whole floor for what you actually use day to day. It's the fastest way to make a cramped room feel twice the size.

  • Heavy-Duty & Height-Adjustable

    A cold-rolled steel frame rated to 360kg, with adjustable drop height to suit your ceiling and the clearance you need underneath. Strong enough for heavy tubs, tools and equipment.

  • DIY-Friendly Install

    Ceiling-mounted with basic tools and clear instructions. No specialist required, and our step-by-step guide walks you through mounting and setting the height safely.

Overhead Storage for Every Space

One overhead rack, many uses. Wherever the floor is tight, the ceiling is free:

    Clear the floor of a storeroom or laundry by moving tubs, cleaning supplies and seasonal gear overhead, so the space stays usable and tidy.

What to Store Overhead

Overhead racks are made for the things you need to keep but rarely reach for. Send these up and free the floor for daily-use items:

  • Storage tubs and archive boxes.
  • Luggage, suitcases and travel bags.
  • Camping, fishing and sporting gear.
  • Seasonal decorations and spare bedding.
  • Tools and equipment you use now and then.
  • Anything bulky and light-to-medium that's cluttering the floor.

How Overhead Storage Works

An overhead rack mounts to your ceiling joists and drops down to a set height, creating a sturdy steel shelf above head height. It's ideal for anything you don't need every day: storage tubs, luggage, camping and sporting gear, seasonal decorations, and spare equipment. Everything stays up, off the floor and out of the way, but still easy to reach when you need it.

A few quick tips for getting the most from it:

  • Mount into solid ceiling joists, not just plasterboard, so the rack carries its full rated load.
  • Spread heavier items evenly across the rack rather than loading one end.
  • Set the drop height to leave enough clearance to walk, work or park underneath.
  • Keep everyday items on lower shelving and reserve the overhead space for long-term storage.

Our install guide covers mounting and height set-up step by step, so you can fit it safely the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I store on an overhead rack?

Anything bulky or seasonal that you don't need daily: storage tubs, luggage, camping and sports gear, decorations, and spare equipment. The steel frame handles heavy loads with ease, while keeping it all above head height and out of the way.

How much weight can overhead storage racks hold?

Our overhead racks use a cold-rolled steel frame rated up to 360kg when correctly mounted to ceiling joists. Spread the load evenly for the best result.

Will it fit my ceiling height?

Yes. The racks are height-adjustable, so you can set the drop to suit your ceiling and keep enough clearance to move, work or park underneath.

Can I install overhead storage myself?

Absolutely. Each rack is designed for DIY installation with basic tools, and our step-by-step guide covers mounting and height set-up. No specialist required.

What do I mount it to?

Overhead racks should be fixed into your ceiling joists rather than plasterboard alone, so they carry their full rated load safely. Our guide explains how to locate and fix into joists.

Where can I use overhead storage besides the garage?

Anywhere the floor is tight and the ceiling is free: storerooms, laundries, sheds, workspaces, stockrooms and more. Explore our garage, home and commercial pages for space-specific options.
