Building a new shop

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Yes the elevator makes the storage in the loft so much more useful. Of course you have to have to the structure designed for the load. The company that built my shop could not understand why I wanted the second floor built with such a high load in mind, they usually built barns design for hay in the loft.

But the thing that makes the loft so much more useful is well designed and laid out storage shelves. You can easily double usable sq.ft. of storage space of the floor. The elevator is the key to getting those truck truck transmissions and engine store away.

The unexpected side benefit was using the elevator platform as an adjustable height work bench.

Cheers Phil
