The Fleximounts GL44B is a ceiling-mounted storage lift designed to provide an efficient and space-saving solution for garage organization. This product allows users to store items overhead, freeing up valuable floor space. It is particularly useful for storing seasonal items, tools, or other belongings that are not frequently accessed but need to be kept organized and out of the way. The lift mechanism enables users to raise and lower the storage platform, making it easy to load and unload items without the need for a ladder.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Fleximounts GL44B is to lift and store items in an overhead position within a garage or similar space. The system consists of a metal platform, a winding pole, a gearbox, wire ropes, and various support components that attach to the ceiling joists. Users can operate the lift manually using a hand crank or with a power drill (not included) to raise or lower the platform. This allows for convenient access to stored items, eliminating the strain and safety risks associated with climbing ladders to reach high shelves. The design ensures that the platform remains stable and level during operation, providing a secure storage solution.

Important Technical Specifications:

Item Number: GL44B
Maximum Load Capacity: 300 lbs (136 kg). It is crucial not to exceed this weight limit to prevent product damage or physical injury.
Suitable Ceiling Height: Lower than 9 feet. This indicates the optimal ceiling height for the lift's operation and installation.
Installation Surface: Designed for installation on wooden ceilings or solid concrete ceilings.
Connecting Rod Spacing: Requires a 48-inch spacing between two ceiling joists for attaching the connecting rod.
Pilot Hole Diameter: 0.2 inches (5mm)
Pilot Hole Depth: 2.8 inches (70mm)
Warranty: Fleximounts Ceiling Storage Lifts purchased on or after August 1, 2020, include a 3-year warranty, covering defects in material or workmanship. This warranty is valid for 1000 manual raises and lowers.

Usage Features:

Adjustable Height: The winding pole and wire rope system allow for adjustable height, enabling users to position the platform at a desired level for loading and unloading.
Dual Operation Mode: Can be operated manually with the included hand crank or with a power drill (not included) for faster and less strenuous operation.
Safety Lock: The gearbox includes a safety lock mechanism. Before using the product, the winding pole is used to pull out the safety lock; after use, it should be pushed inward to lock.
Even Wire Winding: It is essential to ensure that the wire rope is evenly wound around the axle and that all wires are under equal tension while the frame is suspended to maintain stability and prevent damage.
Clearance: When choosing an installation location, ensure there is enough room to raise and lower the platform without obstructions. All people and obstructions should be moved out of the way during operation.
Indoor Use Only: This product is intended strictly for indoor use. Outdoor use could lead to product damage or physical injury.
Installation Template: A reusable installation template is provided to mark mounting points on the ceiling joists, simplifying the installation process.
Two-Person Installation: A minimum of two people are required for installation to ensure safety and proper assembly.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Joint Inspection: Users are advised to check joint parts every two months to ensure that screws have not loosened. This helps maintain the structural integrity and safety of the lift.
Warranty Coverage: The 3-year limited warranty covers defects in material or workmanship under normal installation, use, service, and maintenance.
Remedy for Defects: In case of a defective product, Fleximounts will replace defective parts or the entire product at no charge. If replacement is not practical or timely, a refund of the purchase price may be offered upon return of the product.
Shipping for Replacements: Replacement items are shipped at no cost within the continental United States via FedEx Ground. Expedited shipping is available at an additional cost. Shipping costs for addresses outside the continental U.S. are the responsibility of the customer.
Claim Process: To file a warranty claim, customers must contact Fleximounts customer service via email at contact@fleximounts.com or toll-free at 1-855-421-2808, providing the sales receipt or other proof of purchase date and location.
Voided Warranty: The warranty is void if the product is returned with removed, damaged, or tampered labels, or if any alterations (including removal of any component or external cover) have been made. It also does not cover problems caused by normal wear and tear, improper installation, maintenance, misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, alteration, or failure to follow instructions.
Adjusting Wire Tension: During installation and maintenance, it's important to adjust the buckle position so each wire is under equal tension while the frame is suspended. Rough adjustments involve ensuring the frame is roughly horizontal and each wire is under equal tension. Fine adjustments involve moving nuts up or down to achieve the same.
