Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Hyloft's overhead storage systems allow you to make the most of the space you have available to you. This is a pretty good idea-you can get everything off the floor even when wall space is monopolized by existing storage units.

The HyLoft Jr 36-by36-inch unit is made of strong, durable steel with a scratch resistant finish, and each unit holds up to 150 pounds. The height is adjustable from 16 to 28 inches so you can custom fit it to a variety of spaces, and multiple units can be connected to create a contiguous storage area. The open grate design allows you to see what's stored above. Installation is simple-you can do it by yourself in about 15 minutes. Lifetime warranty.--Josh Dettweiler

The HyLoft 3-by-3-foot overhead storage system is a clever concept, executed neatly. Installing these in any available space and you create storage space you didn't have. Multiple units can be aligned to fit nearly any space, in a L-shape or T-shape, for whatever available ceiling space you have, and each unit holds up to 150 pounds. The open grate design allows you to see what’s stored above--a feature we really like. The finish is clean-looking and super durable and comes with a lifetime warranty. Don’t be intimidated by the thought of installation, either--only the most basic skills are needed. Tools required are standard household fare: hammer, adjustable wrench, stud finder, and drill. For innovation, ease of installation, and good old American ingenuity, we give this baby five stars.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Well built quality product, Not that bad to install. A real space saver. Makes use of un-used ceiling area. Best garage storage system available if you don't want floor standing shelves and want to get everything off the floor in the garage or storage rooms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jr is a nice storage unit but not as nice as the full sized Hyloft., May 26, 2006

Hyloft Jr is a quality product. I have installed about 10 of the full sized units and this is my first Jr. I just looked at the pictures on the website and I noticed that the first 2 pictures must be the old Jr. and the last few are the new one. The new Jr. is not built as solidly as the full sized. 3 things about it are inferior:

1. Installing the top bracket is more difficult since instead of installing a small bracket you have the bracket and the rod which are one piece now. Getting the first screw in is hard with the rod that keeps floating around as you turn the screw.

2. The square tube steal frame rods are not tubes but U rods instead, which make the whole loft less able to hold a load. They could greatly increase the rod strength by welding even a small steal plate in the center of the rod since this is the weakest point. Looks like the old design was a mini version of the full sized but this new model is not and will not handle half the load.

3. The Jr when fully extended drops lower than the full sized by about an inch or so. This is annoying since I have a full sized and a Jr side by side and they do not line up. Seems like this would be an easy thing for the manufacturer to do and something they would have thought about since they seem to be a pretty detail oriented company.

Overall a good product but not for really heavy loads its rated at 150 lbs which seems accurate. Its a shame since this could be made to handle twice the load, I bet the old Jr design could have done that. I am sure they changed it to save money but I would have paid $5 or $10 more just to have the heavy duty design. Since the old design was literally a mini full sized unit that was more what I was expecting. Maybe they could release a Heavy Duty version of the Jr. I would buy it.

The overall product is good. Solid materials. The starting nails, however, aren't worth much. After hammering the start nails supplied in the shipment, the heads popped off after after a few hits. I resorted to some wood screws that I had from a previous project.

The first unit is going to the hardest to put up. Afterwords, the rest of the units go up fairly quickly because you know what you're doing and you get used to working on the ceiling.
