Frequently Asked Questions About Motorized Platforms

What is the difference between Steel Frame and Post Style units?

Steel Frame models provide incredible rigidity and fit perfectly into standard roof truss layouts. Post Style units offer maximum mounting flexibility to accommodate tight spaces or unique ceiling angles where a standard frame cannot fit.

How do I choose the correct weight capacity?

Our 300-pound platforms handle standard plastic bins and seasonal clothing easily. The 500-pound options work perfectly for bulky tools and heavy emergency supplies. Commercial buyers storing dense industrial equipment should select our 700-pound or 1000-pound units.

What measurements are required before ordering a platform?

You must measure your exact floor-to-ceiling height. We also need to know the exact thickness of your ceiling. This measurement must include the attic decking, the joists or trusses, and the ceiling drywall of the garage.

How do you control the lifting mechanism?

The system features simple and intuitive user controls. You operate the platform using a 3' corded remote that is included at no extra cost. The motor includes built-in safety mechanisms to ensure smooth lifting and lowering every time.

Do these motorized platforms require special electrical wiring?

These units operate on standard household electrical current. You will need a dedicated power outlet installed near the upper mounting area. Having proper electrical access ensures the motor runs efficiently without tripping standard household circuit breakers.
