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.

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
