Review Summary

This is the summary of consumer reviews for Racor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift 4-by-4-Foot Cable-Lifted Storage Rack. The BoolPool rating for this product is Very Good, with 4.20 stars, and the price range is $140.00-$210.00.

The RacorPro PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift Storage Rack is the ultimate overhead space saver that allows you to de-clutter your garage and load and heavy items to the ceiling for storage. This product helps to free up valuable floor space in your garage or storage area letting you store heavier items, such as furniture, lawn mowers, tires, canoes, snow throwers, and much more.

The PHL-1R is attractive to many consumers with the ability to raise and lower the platform to load and unload items up to 250 pounds avoiding the obvious pitfalls of using a ladder to hoist items up from the ground. This storage rack features heavy-duty steel support beams and 4-by-4-foot platform that 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 unique pulley system makes it easy to raise and lower heavy items with minimal effort on your part and provides 16 square feet of additional storage space. It also features an innovative safety lock that ensures that the load stays locked into place when fully raised to the ceiling.

Some users had no problems with the installation other than with the lag screws. Many reviewers have recommended getting better ones from the local hardware store and going through the whole process slowly and carefully and pre-drilling holes if required.

Overall, the Racor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift 4-by-4-Foot Cable-Lifted Storage Rack provides for an easier and safer platform to store items. It is a very useful product however using the mechanical lowering arm might take a long time to raise or lower the rack.
