Not all of us are lucky enough to have a sweet three car garage plus an extra shed for the lawn mower.

Most people have a one or two car garage and more tools and toys than space. If this sounds familiar then an ATV storage lift may be just the solution.

We can’t help you with the Christmas decorations, you’ll have to sort that out on your own.

These lifts also work for storing lawn mowers, snowmobiles, SxS and golf carts. Some of them can even do double duty as a mechanic lift.

Unlike most ATV storage lifts, this lift is designed to be moved. It’s on heavy duty casters allowing it to be moved loaded or unloaded. Casters are rated at 1,000 lbs each.

Also, unlike most other lifts, because it is designed to be moved, it has both an upper and a lower platform.

These ATV storage lifts come with either an electric winch or hand winch option. Heavy duty construction, easy loading ramp, stop break on winch, manual stop pin and Spring-Loaded Lever with Dawg Locks.

The 2,000 lb lift has an upgrade platform/wall feature that really pops and puts your toys on display.

Build Your Own ATV Storage Lift

This option requires a little bit of know how. If this isn’t you, building shelving without the lift option is simple and easy. It’s not as sexy as a lift, but it gets the job done (hopefully under budget).


Build Your Own ATV Storage Shelf

If you don’t mind putting in the sweat equity, you can build yourself a pretty nice storage platform with some pallet racking.

You don’t need any special tools or skills – most pallet racking just snaps into place.

This isn’t necessarily a cheap option though, but it is a cheaper option. Expect to pay $400+.

If you’re not in a hurry, shop around and you might be able to pick up some used pallet racking. Your best bet for finding used racks are the local paper, store closing auctions, craigslist and ReStore.

Pros

  • Super Easy (although it will go a whole lot quicker with 2 people)
  • Less expensive
  • You can build a much bigger rack
  • Hold multiple ATVs

Cons

  • Not a lift
  • Although cheaper than a commercial model, it’s still going to set you back some cash
  • You’ll have to use a ramp to get your vehicles on the upper level
