Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can the platform actually hold?
The motor is rated for 220 lbs total, but the platform itself weighs about 50 lbs, so the usable cargo capacity is roughly 170 lbs once the platform is installed.
How much storage space does the platform provide?
The platform measures 3 ft. by 6 ft., which is nearly 18 sq. ft. of overhead storage — enough for several bins, seasonal decorations, or bulky items that don’t hang well from hooks.
What ceiling heights does it fit?
It accommodates ceilings from 9 to 15 ft., with a 9.75 ft. cable length and an adjustable 6-9 ft. lift bar.
Are there two separate assembly guides?
Yes — one PDF covers the motor and lift bar assembly, and a second, separate PDF covers assembling the 3x6 platform itself. Both are linked on this page.
How is it operated?
An 11 ft. wired push-button controller raises and lowers the platform, and it’s keyed so only someone with the key can operate it — useful for safety around children.
Is this safe to install myself?
The kit includes all mounting hardware and both assembly PDFs. As with any product with coated electrical wiring, review the Prop 65 handling notice before installation, and wash your hands after handling the wiring.
Can I buy just the platform if I already own a Garage Gator lift?
Yes, the 3x6 platform is also sold separately as an accessory for existing 220 lb Garage Gator motor systems.
What voltage does the motor need?
Standard 120V / 60Hz household power, drawing 4.5 amps.
