Auxx Lift Motorized Storage Lifts – Garage Ceiling Lifts, Attic Lifts & Overhead Storage Hoists

Auxx Lift motorized storage lifts are the ceiling-mounted electric hoist systems that solve the garage storage problem that every serious outdoor enthusiast, overlander, and active homeowner eventually faces — the garage floor consumed by the rooftop tent that came off the truck for winter, the kayaks that need to be off the ground, the bikes that need ceiling storage to free up the bay, and the seasonal gear that multiplies across every outdoor activity the household pursues. The ceiling is the most underutilized storage space in any garage, and Auxx Lift's motorized platform and hoist systems convert that dead overhead space into an active, accessible, remote-controlled storage tier that lowers the load to floor level at the press of a button and raises it back to the ceiling out of the way in approximately 30 seconds. Assembled in the USA in Moorpark, California, and the only lift in the category tested to UL standards with a minimum 4x factor of safety on every load-bearing component — US Patent 9,572,427 B2, over 20,000 units sold — Auxx Lift is the motorized overhead storage system that the active outdoor household has been waiting for. Adventure Motion carries the complete Auxx Lift lineup — the Auxx-Lift garage ceiling platform, the Attic-Lift garage-to-attic elevator, the Auxx-One single-item hoist, and the full accessory ecosystem — for overlanders, outdoor adventurers, active families, and property owners who want the ceiling to earn its place in the garage.

✔ The Only Garage Ceiling Lift Tested to UL Standards — 4x Factor of Safety on Every Load-Bearing Component — Auxx Lift is the only motorized garage storage lift in its category that has been tested to the highest UL standard requirements with every load-bearing component carrying a minimum 4x factor of safety. The institutional safety validation that no competitor in the ceiling lift category can claim — the specification that matters when 400 to 800 pounds of gear is suspended above the garage floor at ceiling height.

✔ Self-Leveling Differential Motor Technology — Stays Level Even With Asymmetric Loads — Auxx Lift's differential motor technology automatically adjusts weight distribution throughout the lift cycle to keep the platform nearly level even when loaded asymmetrically — the camping tote on one side, the rooftop tent on the other. The controller monitors weight on the platform continuously and prevents lifting if the load exceeds the rated capacity.

✔ 400 to 800 lb Capacity — Rooftop Tents, Kayaks, Bikes, Cargo Carriers & Heavy Seasonal Gear — The Auxx-Lift platform handles up to 800 lbs across the 1400, 1600, and 1800 configurations — covering the rooftop tent that weighs 100 to 150 lbs, the kayak pair at 60 to 100 lbs combined, the full overlanding gear load of totes and equipment, and the seasonal storage rotation that every active outdoor household manages between adventure seasons.

✔ Wireless Remote, Programmable Stops & Concealed Wiring — The Clean, Effortless Storage Experience — The Auxx Lift's wireless remote lowers the platform to floor level and raises it back to the ceiling without the operator leaving the garage floor. Programmable auto high and low stopping points prevent the platform from hitting the ceiling on the way up or the floor on the way down. All wiring from the controller to the motors is concealed inside the montage beams with snap-on plastic coverings — the near-wireless visual appearance that makes the Auxx Lift look like a designed feature rather than an afterthought installation.

✔ Platform Sizes From 3'x6' to 4'x8' — Four Configurations for Every Garage Footprint — Auxx Lift's ceiling platform is available in four sizes — 3'x6', 3'x8', 4'x6', and 4'x8' — to match the specific ceiling joist spacing, available overhead footprint, and gear storage volume of the individual garage installation. The 4'x8' maximum platform provides 32 square feet of elevated storage surface — the equivalent of a full sheet of plywood worth of organized overhead storage lowered to floor level on demand.

Auxx-Lift Garage Ceiling Storage Platform – 400 to 800 lb Motorized Overhead Storage

The Auxx-Lift is the flagship product in the Auxx Lift lineup — a motorized ceiling-mounted platform that uses two synchronized motors, vinyl-coated aircraft-grade steel cables, and a 14-gauge steel C-channel frame structure to lower a 15-gauge steel wire mesh platform from the ceiling to floor level at the press of a wireless remote button and raise it back to the ceiling in approximately 30 seconds. The platform's 3"x3" galvanized wire mesh surface provides a non-slip, rust-resistant load surface that drains any moisture from outdoor gear brought in from camping trips. Three lifting capacity configurations serve different storage load requirements — the Auxx-Lift 1400 at 400 lbs for seasonal storage totes and lighter camping gear on 1/8-inch cable rated at 2,000 lb breaking strength, the Auxx-Lift 1600 at 600 lbs as the most popular configuration for a fully loaded platform of totes and outdoor equipment on 3/16-inch cable at 4,200 lb breaking strength, and the Auxx-Lift 1800 at 800 lbs for the heaviest overhead storage loads. The additional hardware kit rotates the lift rails 90 degrees for parallel-to-joist installation when the standard perpendicular orientation doesn't work for the garage's structural layout.

Best for:

Outdoor adventurers, overlanders, and active families whose garage accumulates rooftop tents, camping gear totes, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and seasonal equipment that consumes floor and wall space — the Auxx-Lift that moves all of it to the ceiling and brings it back down the moment it's needed
Homeowners with two-car garages who want to park both vehicles while maintaining full outdoor equipment storage — the ceiling platform that moves seasonal gear to the overhead space that's wasted when no vehicle occupies the bay
RV travelers and van lifers whose gear inventory cycles between vehicle and storage across adventure seasons — the Auxx-Lift's remote-controlled lowering making the seasonal gear rotation a 30-second operation rather than a ladder-assisted project

Attic-Lift – Motorized Attic Storage Elevator Between Garage Floor and Attic

The Attic-Lift is Auxx Lift's motorized solution for the most physically demanding and injury-prone household storage task — carrying boxes, bins, seasonal decorations, and heavy equipment up a pull-down attic stairway that wasn't designed for the weights active households regularly need to store overhead. The Attic-Lift's two motors mount directly on steel strut channels anchored to the attic floor joists — no obstructing posts or rails in the attic like conventional attic lift competitors require — with four hot-dipped galvanized 7x19 steel cables (133 individual wires each) providing the lifting force. The platform at 28.75"x56" fits standard attic opening dimensions with a 30.5"x58.5" opening frame that seals the ceiling when the platform is in the raised position — adjustable for all joist sizes from 2x4 through 2x16 or TJI engineered joists. All hardware including plywood decking is included. Standard 12-foot cable extends to 18 feet with the cable extension accessory for taller ceiling-to-attic applications.

Best for:

Homeowners with attic storage above the garage who want to eliminate the ladder-carrying and stairway-climbing hazard that moving heavy seasonal items to and from attic storage creates — the Attic-Lift that makes 400 lb attic storage loads a remote-control operation from garage floor level
Families who use attic storage for holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, sports equipment, and the accumulated household storage that cycles between attic and active use annually — the Attic-Lift that turns every seasonal rotation from a half-day physical project to a 10-minute effortless operation
Property owners building a complete garage storage system who want the Auxx-Lift for ceiling platform storage alongside the Attic-Lift for deeper overhead attic storage — the two-system garage that converts every cubic foot of overhead space into accessible remote-controlled storage

Auxx-One Single Motor Hoist – 400 lb Individual Item Lift for Rooftop Tents, Kayaks & More

The Auxx-One is Auxx Lift's single-motor hoist for individual heavy, bulky items that don't need a full platform — the rooftop tent removed from the truck for winter storage, the canoe that needs ceiling storage in a small garage, the fifth wheel trailer hitch that weighs 100-plus pounds, the Jeep top or truck cap that needs to come off and go up. At 400 lb capacity with up to 22 feet of maximum travel distance, the Auxx-One handles the single-item hoist job that a full platform would over-engineer — a space-saving, lower-cost motorized hoist for the garage that needs one heavy item stored at the ceiling rather than a full rotating platform of seasonal gear. Wireless remote control. Modular attachment points for customizable load rigging. Average 30 seconds for 9-foot ceiling lifts. Compatible with Auxx-Straps for attaching bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, cargo carriers, and rooftop tents to the hoist cable system.

Best for:

Overlanders and rooftop tent owners who remove the tent from the vehicle for extended parking periods and want a motorized ceiling hoist that raises the 80 to 150-pound rooftop tent to ceiling level without manual lifting and ladder use — the Auxx-One as the dedicated rooftop tent hoist for the garage
Jeep Wrangler and truck owners who remove tops and caps seasonally and want a safe, remote-controlled single-item ceiling hoist rather than the precarious manual lifting process that removing and storing a 200-pound hardtop requires without assistance
Small garage owners who need single-item ceiling storage for one major piece of equipment — a kayak, a canoe, a bike — where the Auxx-One's compact single-motor footprint fits the available ceiling space that a full platform system doesn't accommodate

Auxx Lift Accessories – Straps, Guards, Remotes & Extension Cables

Auxx Lift's accessory lineup completes the overhead storage system beyond the base lift installation — the load-specific straps for attaching bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, and rooftop tents to the platform or hoist cable, the safety fencing that prevents items from sliding off the raised platform, the additional wireless remotes for multi-user households, and the cable extension for taller installations. The Auxx-Straps at 2 inches by 14 feet with 4,400-pound load capacity serve the bike, kayak, paddle board, and rooftop tent attachment applications — the purpose-built straps for the outdoor gear loads that Auxx Lift users most commonly hoist to the ceiling. The Auxx-Guard consists of four rows of real hardwood slats that attach to the ceiling brackets as safety fencing around the raised platform's perimeter — preventing items from sliding off during the raise cycle or while stored at ceiling height. Bull Ring anchors pivot to secure loads in multiple directions. The 18-foot cable extension increases vertical travel distance beyond the standard 12-foot cable for garages with higher-than-standard ceiling heights.

Best for:

Auxx-Lift owners who store kayaks, paddle boards, cargo carriers, and rooftop tents on the platform — the Auxx-Straps' 4,400-pound rated capacity securing irregular-shaped outdoor gear to the platform surface for safe raising and lowering
Families and active households who want the Auxx-Guard hardwood slat fence around the raised platform perimeter — the safety accessory that prevents items from shifting off the platform edge during raising and lowering cycles with children or pets in the garage
Multi-vehicle or multi-user garages where an additional wireless remote allows any household member to operate the lift independently — the accessory that makes the Auxx Lift a shared household resource rather than a single-remote single-operator system

Who This Is For

Outdoor adventurers, overlanders, and active outdoor households whose garage accumulates rooftop tents, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, camping totes, and seasonal outdoor gear that competes with vehicles for every square foot of garage floor and wall space — the Auxx Lift that moves the entire outdoor equipment inventory to the ceiling and brings it down on demand
Rooftop tent owners who remove the tent from the vehicle for winter storage, extended parking, or vehicle maintenance periods and want a motorized ceiling hoist that handles the 80 to 150-pound lift safely without another person or a ladder
Water sports enthusiasts and paddlers who store kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards in the garage and want ceiling storage that lowers the boat to loading position and raises it back to the ceiling without carrying or wrestling with a 60 to 80-pound hull through a garage door
Homeowners with attic storage above the garage who perform seasonal storage rotations — holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, sports gear — and want the Attic-Lift's motorized elevator to eliminate the physical risk and time cost of carrying heavy loads up a pull-down stairway
Two-car garage homeowners who want to park two vehicles while maintaining complete outdoor equipment and seasonal storage — the Auxx-Lift's ceiling platform solving the zero-sum garage space conflict between vehicle parking and gear storage

How to Choose the Right Auxx Lift System

Auxx-Lift vs. Attic-Lift vs. Auxx-One by storage application — Auxx-Lift for the ceiling platform that stores multiple items simultaneously on a lowering-and-raising surface — seasonal totes, outdoor gear collections, and the rotating equipment inventory that active households manage. Attic-Lift for moving items between the garage floor and an overhead attic space — the vertical elevator between two storage levels. Auxx-One for single heavy bulky items that need a dedicated hoist — a rooftop tent, Jeep top, canoe, or fifth wheel hitch that needs ceiling storage without a full platform. The three products serve distinct storage applications and can be combined in the same garage for different storage needs.

Lifting capacity by the heaviest single load — Auxx-Lift 1400 at 400 lbs for seasonal storage totes and lighter camping gear loads. Auxx-Lift 1600 at 600 lbs for the fully loaded platform combining camping totes, outdoor equipment, and heavier seasonal gear — the most popular configuration. Auxx-Lift 1800 at 800 lbs for the heaviest overhead storage loads including dense equipment collections and heavy seasonal items. Always calculate the combined weight of everything planned for the platform simultaneously — not the heaviest single item — and select the capacity tier above the calculated total.

Platform size by gear footprint and ceiling joist spacing — The 3'x6' and 3'x8' platforms serve smaller garages and items with narrower footprints. The 4'x6' and 4'x8' platforms serve the full outdoor equipment load — two kayaks, a rooftop tent, multiple storage totes. Confirm the garage's ceiling joist spacing and available ceiling footprint before selecting platform size — the installation mounts across at least three ceiling joists, and the platform footprint must fit within the available overhead space between the garage door track, light fixtures, and any other ceiling-mounted hardware.

Standard vs. extended cable by ceiling height — The standard 12-foot cable serves garage ceilings up to approximately 10 to 11 feet height. The 18-foot cable extension serves taller garage ceilings — typical in three-car garages, workshop garages, and commercial-grade residential garages with higher-than-standard ceiling height. Measure the garage ceiling height from the floor to the ceiling joist before ordering to confirm whether the standard cable covers the full travel distance or the extension is needed.

Rail orientation by joist direction — Standard Auxx-Lift installation mounts the rails perpendicular to the ceiling joists. The additional hardware kit allows rotating the rails 90 degrees to run parallel with the joists when the garage layout, existing ceiling hardware, or structural configuration requires parallel-to-joist mounting. Confirm the ceiling joist direction and the preferred rail orientation before purchasing — the additional hardware kit is ordered separately and needs to be included in the initial order if parallel mounting is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Auxx Lift products does Adventure Motion carry? A: Adventure Motion carries the complete Auxx Lift lineup — the Auxx-Lift motorized garage ceiling storage platform in 400 lb (1400), 600 lb (1600), and 800 lb (1800) capacity configurations with four platform size options (3'x6', 3'x8', 4'x6', 4'x8'), the Attic-Lift motorized garage-to-attic elevator at 400 lb capacity with platform size 28.75"x56", the Auxx-One single-motor hoist at 400 lb capacity for individual heavy items, and the complete accessory lineup including Auxx-Straps (2"x14', 4,400 lb rated), Auxx-Guard hardwood slat safety fence, additional wireless remotes, 18-foot cable extensions, additional hardware kits for rail rotation, Bull Ring anchors, and extended warranty options.

Q: How does the Auxx-Lift self-leveling system work? A: The Auxx-Lift uses differential motor technology that continuously monitors the weight distribution across the platform and automatically adjusts the two motors' output to maintain a near-level platform throughout the lifting and lowering cycle — even when the load is placed asymmetrically on the platform rather than centered. The controller also monitors total weight on the platform and prevents the lift from operating if the load exceeds the rated capacity. This self-leveling system is a key differentiator from single-motor alternatives that can't compensate for asymmetric loading and tilt under uneven weight distribution.

Q: What can I store on the Auxx-Lift platform? A: The Auxx-Lift platform stores virtually any garage-appropriate item within the platform's footprint and rated capacity — seasonal storage totes, camping gear collections, rooftop tents, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, cargo carriers, kids' ride-on toys, tools, holiday decorations, and any combination of outdoor equipment the household cycles through the garage. Irregular-shaped items like kayaks, bikes, and rooftop tents attach to the platform using Auxx-Straps rated at 4,400 lbs capacity. The 3"x3" galvanized wire mesh platform surface provides a non-slip surface for tote-style storage and ratchet strap attachment points for irregular gear. The safety lip prevents stored items from sliding off the platform edge during operation.

Q: Is the Auxx-Lift difficult to install? A: The Auxx-Lift installation process is similar to installing an automatic garage door opener — locating the ceiling joists, mounting two strut channels perpendicular to them using eight 5/16"x4" SPAX lag bolts into the structure, then attaching the motors, controller, and platform. The mounting footprint spans at least three ceiling joists for redundancy. Professional installers typically complete installation in approximately two hours. The Auxx-Lift comes with comprehensive installation guides and installation videos. The additional hardware kit is available for garages where the standard perpendicular-to-joist orientation doesn't work and the rails need to run parallel to the joists. Auxx Lift also offers Premium White-Glove installation service for buyers who want professional installation rather than DIY.

Q: Can the Auxx-Lift store a rooftop tent? A: Yes — rooftop tent storage is one of the most popular Auxx Lift use cases for Adventure Motion's customer base. A typical rooftop tent weighs between 80 and 150 lbs depending on the shell type and size — well within the Auxx-Lift 1400's 400 lb capacity. The Auxx-Straps at 2 inches by 14 feet with 4,400 lb rated capacity attach the tent securely to the platform surface for raising to ceiling level. The Auxx-One single-motor hoist is the alternative for overlanders who want a dedicated rooftop tent hoist rather than a full platform — lowering the tent to loading height for installation on the vehicle and raising it back to ceiling storage when the vehicle is parked.

Q: What makes the Auxx-Lift different from other ceiling storage lifts? A: The Auxx-Lift is the only motorized garage storage lift in its category tested to UL standards with every load-bearing component carrying a minimum 4x factor of safety — the independent safety validation no competitor has achieved. The differential motor self-leveling system that compensates for asymmetric loading is a patent-protected technology (US Patent 9,572,427 B2) not available in competing products. The concealed wiring inside the montage beams with snap-on covers provides the clean visual installation that surface-wired alternatives don't achieve. Assembly is completed in Moorpark, California, with over 20,000 units sold. The combination of UL testing, self-leveling patent, concealed wiring, and USA assembly represents the specification and quality standard that competitive alternatives in the ceiling lift category don't match.

Auxx Lift motorized storage lifts are the solution that every outdoor adventurer's garage needs when the rooftop tent, kayaks, bikes, and seasonal gear have consumed the floor space that the vehicles are supposed to occupy — the remote-controlled ceiling platform that moves the entire outdoor equipment inventory to overhead storage in 30 seconds and brings it back to floor level the moment it's needed for the next adventure. The only lift tested to UL standards. The self-leveling differential motor that keeps the platform level under asymmetric outdoor gear loads. The USA assembly and patent-protected technology that over 20,000 satisfied customers have validated. Adventure Motion carries the complete Auxx Lift lineup — Auxx-Lift platform, Attic-Lift elevator, Auxx-One hoist, and accessories — for outdoor enthusiasts, overlanders, and active households who want the ceiling working as hard as the adventures they're storing gear for.
