Pallet Racking ATVs in the barn - Part 1

- Looking for a inexpensive and safe way to add some vertical storage and get your work space back?
When we got up to 17 vehicles in the barn, space was getting tight. Some of those 17 don't get a lot of usage during the year, so with several TFTT projects on going, we needed to get vertical.
Check out pallet racking as a solution. Watch us clean up, clear out, and install industrial pallet racking in the barn.
The original plan included a Harbor Freight 440 lb 110V hoist mounted up top to pull the Raptors up. Unfortunately I got a defective hoist so we improvised with a couple big tie downs and a little muscle. 😱
The rack is standard teardrop pallet racking. Uprights are 8 ft tall x 36 in wide. Beams are 6 in tall x 13 ft long. To hold a 73 in long Raptor, I stacked 2 of the 36 in racks face to face. 13 ft long will fit 3 Raptor 700s side by side. I bought used racks and with a couple cans of spray paint got the racks looking nearly new.
Part 2 features the working hoist, and little more ATV shimmy to get around the garage door tracks.
For now though, it's Time for the Trails! Braaap!
Wow, good job!!
Row spacers between frames would be a nice add for stability, be careful with point loading the wire decks on the second level, not designed to hold loads but to prevent material from falling through. Looks great, nice idea.
Neat. I built the same set up with pallet racking in one car garage to add a loft. While I’ve had ATVs on the upper level in the past, I now use the upper area for parts, tires and other smaller items. Two 8’wide racks doubled gives 7.5’ depth for a total of 60 additional square feet.
Very cool!
GENIUS level 10!
Great!
You should buy a cheap harbor freight winch, mount it and use it to pull and unload the Atv & snowmobile on second level
Part 2 is coming and includes the winch! I had one for Part 1, but it was defective... and didn't find out until I was 3 hours away from the nearest HF.
Is that Rolled or Structural?
