It’s a common theme in my household and my life to keep things tidy. Not everyone shares this same objective, I know. Michele and the kids always have their bikes scattered everywhere, which drives me nuts. So, I came across the Top Shelf Lift 400 that has solved this problem.
I joined a Kickstarter in late 2020 or early 2021, where my new friend Tabb (founder of Top Shelf Storage Solutions) saw a need for a lift solution, not just for bikes but also for any other cargo you may want to keep off the ground, and created this masterpiece. You don’t realize how important it is to have something like this in your garage until you start laying things out and begin to see the space-saving opportunities.
If you’re handy with tools, you can complete this installation in under an hour. Mike did it in 20-minutes. From my observation and reading the instructions, it’s a really simple install. We first put my bike on and raised it where it barely touched the ceiling. My initial reaction was, “this is freaking sweet.” Whether you have one vehicle or multiple vehicles, I found that I can easily park my cars underneath it.
You’ll have five different sizes to choose from; what you decide to go with will depend solely on the height of your garage. When we installed mine, we positioned the base of it right above the baseboard. This gave us enough clearance towards the top, where the box with all of the components inside went—a really clean look.
I’m incredibly pleased with this product and how it turned out in my garage. I know for a fact that I’ll be installing several of these in my future homes.
