Racor LDL-1B Ladder Lift

Preserve Valuable Garage Space

Keep work spaces clear and neatly organized with help from this innovative Racor ladder lift. The unit makes it easy to store any type of ladder overhead--no need to take up precious floor space or storage space along side walls. Preserve that parking space, project area, or storage area for home-improvement projects by securing your ladder safely overhead.

Innovative Design

The ladder lift uses a rope and pulley system, as well as a fixed hook, that is mounted to ceiling joists. Once all components are properly installed (some assembly required), simply place the top of the ladder onto the fixed hook, then securely attach the strap to the bottom rung of the ladder, and pull the rope. The low end of the ladder will gracefully elevate up to the ceiling until the ladder has arrived at its horizontal, suspended, storage position.

Ultimate Safety and Convenience

The pulleys and the fixed hook do most of the work, making an 80-pound ladder feel like it's only 10 pounds--an 8:1 mechanical advantage. A unique locking mechanism holds the rope securely in place to prevent accidental release.

When it's time to use the ladder--whether painting the house, cleaning the gutters, or making a second-story repair--pulling the ladder down from storage is a snap. Simply unlock the rope and slowly lower it, allowing one end of the ladder to smoothly descend to the ground. Unhook the other end, and you're all set.

Durably Built

The ladder lift features durable steel construction, and it works on ceilings up to 12 feet high and accommodates ladders up to 150 pounds. Fasteners to install the ladder lift into ceiling joists come included.

Note: Ladder not included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easier way to store ladder July 17, 2012

By Rudy1150

Before my ladder with hanging from ladder hooks along the wall and it was really difficult to remove or to put away. Also it took up valuable storage space. The lift took about 30 minutes to install in the garage ceiling, and now the ladder is much easier to store and does not take up the entire wall. The rope is easy to pull or lower even with a heavy fiberglass ladder on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use - Easy to Install September 1, 2012

By B. C. Aronson

Saw this in the August-September 2012 issue of "Handy" magazine (Handyman Club of America Magazine) as one of their "Home Improvement Headliners." I have a heavy 24" Aluminum extension ladder for use around the home. I have had it hanging on two heavy hooks attached to boards attached to my cinder block basement wall. I only use the ladder a half dozen times during the year and I have better ways to use the wall space. The instructions were easy to follow, it took perhaps 45 minutes to install because my helper and I were in no hurry, could have taken less time. I placed it in my unfinished basement attached to the floor joists. My basement has two extra courses of block so it is a bit higher than other basements in the area. It looks good hanging from the ceiling and the ladder lift works as advertised. The hook for the one end is heavy duty (at least to me it appears this way) and the pulley system works with ease either letting the ladder down or pulling it up. Storing the ladder is easier than when I would place it on the wall hooks. I expect the ladder lift to give me many years of use. BCA's husband TEA

3.0 out of 5 stars worthwhile February 4, 2013

nice product, but not particularly flexible. designed for beams that run perpendicular to the door. If they run parallel, then you have to jury rig a different placement (wood block, bolted in place) which is kind of a pain. A better design would've been to have the system on a multi-axis pivot so parts can be rotated 90 degrees and then pop into a different hole and held in place with a spring-mounted ball bearing.
