My Wife is always right…..I should listen to her more!
My wife and I are retired Senior Citizens with attic storage space above the garage via a pull down ladder. Last January I came very close to falling down the ladder while pushing a storage tote full of Christmas decorations up the ladder. Luckily I was able to regain my balance but the tote crashed to the floor resulting in some of the decorations being destroyed. I was just glad that it wasn’t me that got busted up. My wife did some research online reading reviews on the Versa Lift system and insisted that we would order one and have it installed before the decorations came down again. I argued against spending the money but she would have no part of my argument, pointing out that the cost of the Versa Lift would seem cheap compared to a bad fall perhaps resulting in a trip to the hospital by ambulance with major injuries or broken bones. I knew she was right and with the Holidays only a few month away we ordered our Versa Lift and a handyman installed it today. The Versa Lift system is the answer to a genuine home safety issue I now call the “Treacherous Attic Storage Ladder”. Plus there was a bonus. The garage is now less cluttered. Due to the ease of using the Versa Lift we sent additional things being stored in the garage up to the attic. September 16, 2017.

I've had this unit for a while but it's been too hot in the attic to install but with a little help from a friend it was completed on 8/17/17. I had to do a little more prep work cause I had to move it over one more rafter and go perpendicular. As far as installing the Versa Lift the instructions were right on. I just wish I've gotten this unit sooner. Very smooth operation. I would definitely recommend Versa Lift for anyone who stores seasonal stuff in the attic.
Very satisfied customer

We finally got the new house finished and moved in, I cannot even begin to tell you how much we love our "Versalift". Don't know how we ever got along without it. Our garage is clean with no extra suitcases, etc. setting around! Our neighbors are trying to figure out how they can retro fit one in their garage.
Thank you,

I installed my lift along with the help of my two brothers. It only took about 4 hours to frame the opening and install the lift.
Since I knew I was going to install my lift adjacent to my pull down attic stairs, I chose to use the corded pendent control.
If you install away from the attic entry the remote would me a must.
It works great and eliminates the unsafe transport of boxes and tubs up and down the attic stairs. My attic in the garage is 11 feet tall so the pull down stairs are long and difficult to heave heavy boxes up and down.
The design is well thought out and it is well constructed.
The design is well thought out and it is well constructed.
I would recommend to anyone who has a large attic storage area that is not utilized due to the difficulty of getting things up a ladder or attic pulldown.

I finally finished my attic storage. I have attached a few photos showing the Versa Lift in the finished attic and a video showing raising items.
The Versa Lift is great. No more carrying boxes up the attic ladder, which usually required two people. Now I can move anything I want up to or down from the attic all by myself. It is much quicker and easier on my back. The Versa Lift makes accessing and using the unused space in my attic a breeze. Now I have my garage back.
Thanks Versa Lift,

Settling into our new home we wondered how we could safely access the spacious storage area over the garage. Climbing up and down a ladder attempting to lug bins and boxes while keep my balance is not what we considered safe.
Searching the internet for a solution we discovered Versalift. So glad we did. The unit arrived in days. Since the unit comes with easy to follow step-by-step instructions with illustrated drawings, I decided to install it myself.
The installation was relatively easy, which I was able to accomplish in a matter of hours.
Now, the Versalift safely takes everything we need in or out of the attic. Without a doubt Versalift is the safest and most convenient way to maximize the storage area over our garage.
Versalift has our wholehearted endorsement for we are completely satisfied customers.

I ordered the larger Versalift 32W - wireless. I also got an extra remote - just in case. It was installed in my attached garage. I had the hole and new decking done by a builder, but I assembled and installed everything else myself. The "32" is a big lift. I almost didn't have enough room to fit it in. The pitch of my roof and the narrowness of my garage required that the lift be place just so. This thing is fairly expensive, but it's very well made and engineered. I have now also ordered your safety step railing to go with my new attic stairs to complete the project. Now onto the next step, which is to organize the attic... I have definitely added extra value to my house. I placed a short video of the lift in action on my Facebook page and have gotten a lot of positive comments from my friends.
Thank you

My wife and I really go all out when decorating for holidays and all the stuff has to go somewhere when the holidays are over. We have the "drop down" ladder/steps in our garage that go to the attic. We have been dreading hauling all of it back into the attic.
This is when we started looking for options. We reviewed many sites online and it became clear that the VersaLift was the best option by far. With all the options that we had to choose from, we decided on the VersaLift 32W. The wireless remote saves a lot of time compared to the stationary button.
My wife and I put the bottom of the lift together the garage and we put the top of the lift together in the attic. My son and I cut and framed in the hole and installed the lift in just about 5 hours. It is a breeze getting all of our stuff back into the attic after the holidays now...
Very happy with our purchase.

The Versa Lift is so completely awesome. We love it. Everyone who has seen it in action wants one. We moved recently and putting our things into the attic was a snap with the Versa Lift. Getting camping gear, Christmas boxes, Halloween décor and the like out of the attic used to be the dreaded task not it will be something to look forward to. Seriously now it’s not even a concern. As for the quality, it’s super solid even down to the hand held remote. There is heft to it, not just some cheap device.

I ordered the 24W (wireless) system. It came within one week. I had the benefit of someone helping me who had already put an idential model in his parent’s home, so we were ahead of the game. Once we opened all the boxes and laid the pieces out it was not difficult to put the frame together. First we put the platform together in the garage because we had more room, but we also knew that it was the starting point for lifting after the frame was installed in the attic. Then we went into the attic and constructed the lifting frame. Again, it was not complicated, it just took time and patience while referencing the manual.
Once it was all done it worked great and I am very happy with the product.
p.s. My objective in this whole process was to eliminate shoving decorations and things up my drop-down attic ladder. Several of my neighbors have fallen off their ladders in the past two years and I saw this as a health and safety answer to a potential hospital visit.

Just writing to tell you the Versalift I recently received has been installed and is working nicely. I am retired and 68 years old. A year ago I broke my ankle when the wooden fold down attic ladder broke while putting away Christmas items. My step son saw the Versalift last summer and told me to take a look. I was immediately interested and after determining it would fit between the existing joists I decided to install it during the winter when the attic is cool. I like simple projects like this. I also have a pretty good ability to work with tools (a farm boy growing up) and can follow instructions.
I work on projects at a very relaxed pace with rest as needed. I am happy to report the Versalift install fits this type of work. All of the steps are clearly described in the installation manual. For me the most difficult work was framing the ceiling opening along with lifting the Versalift device into the attic. Here is how I accomplished the install:
Thursday, February 23rd – Purchased lumber to frame a 22 ½ x 46 ½ opening in the garage attic. Joists were 24” on center leaving a 22 ½ inch space. Cut the 22 ½ inch pieces needed to complete framing the opening. Remove existing flooring and cut to expose area to be framed.
Friday, February 24th – Completed the attic framing double checking the measurements. Versalift delivered in three boxes by UPS.
Saturday, February 25th – Opened all the boxes and verified everything was shipped. Planned how to get the heavy unit into the attic.
Sunday, February 26th – Used a rope hoist to get the Versalift head (80+ lbs.) into the attic. Assemble the unit in the attic and positioned it over the opening securing it as instructed.
Monday, February 27th – Cut the drywall opening and attached the corner pieces. Assembled the platform on the garage floor below the opening and attached it to the cables from the unit in the attic. Plugged in the unit, turned it on and tested the up and down operation. The unit is on the same circuit as the attic lighting eliminating any concern about whether the unit is on or off. Made the final adjustments in the attic.
Tuesday, February 28th – Used the Versalift to remove accumulated junk, cleaned and organized the area, and started placing Christmas and other items in the attic.
The Versalift is working just as I had hoped. At my age trying to manhandle heavy items into the attic on a fold down ladder is just too dangerous. The Versalift with the wireless remote gives me an easy way to move items up and down. It is a very well thought out product and the spring loaded ceiling cover works great. I also definitely like the wireless remote control since it allows me the easily operate the unit from the attic or the floor.
I highly recommend the Versalift.
Thanks,

I recently purchased a Versalift for our garage attic and could not be happier with the installed product. Our house has limited storage space and we have been renting a storage unit for items we could not get to the attic. The Versalift solved that problem and we will recoup the cost within 3 years of not paying for the rental space.
We chose to place the Versalift between to rafters so the unit did not impead the open space in the attic. It fit perfectly and it is easy to load and unload. We used a contractor to install the unit. This is the first Versalift they had installed, but they indicated the instructions were easy to follow and there were no problems with the installation. After the installation was completed, we were able to get all of the container from the storage unit up to the attic in less than an hour.
Attached are some pictures from our installation.

SATISFIED
I just wanted to pass along how satisfied we are with our VersaLift. It was easy to order and shipped very quickly. Once we had it installed I was sorry I had delayed in ordering one. Our attic access stairs are over 11’ high so carrying boxes up and down the stairs during the holidays was extremely dangerous, as well as physically exhausting with so many trips needed. It is so fast and easy now to bring decorations down from the attic and to put them away. I can’t recall being this satisfied with a product ever!
Thank you,

Dear Versa Lift
I just read all the great testimonials about what I have called the best idea to come along since the invention of the wheel. Just kidding about the wheel but this time and back saving device has just made my life so much easier. No more calling my son to come over and bring down my Christmas lights nor calling my neighbor to help me put away all the storage boxes. Now I can actually think about cleaning out our attic.
Ease of installation – 2 of us 6 ½ hours to install. Shipped in three containers that were well thought out to insure an undamaged delivery. Installation instructions that are not complicated to follow. Great warranty that is transferrable to the new owner if we should decide to move. By the way that will make for another sale.
Last, my neighbor has already ordered theirs and is hoping to have it installed before they have to put away all of their Christmas lights.
Thanks!

BEST PURCHASE I EVER MADE
Some time ago I purchased a versa lift and only recently was able to install the unit. I built a two story unattached garage with ample storage capacity on the second floor of the garage. I had many storage tubs (containers) to get upstairs, and with bad knees and multiple hip replacements, I looked to Versa Lift for help. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been a "Godsend". I found that, after purchase, that the ceiling truss required an extra foot between floors. The Versa lift unit is made for a 2' space and I had a 3' space. My handy man simply attached a 1' chain to the plate that fits flush with the ceiling. It works perfectly. This may have been the best purchase I have ever made. I live in Southwest Virginia and my builder installed the unit quickly with no problem. I can give anyone his name upon request. Attached are some of the pictures taken.

COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT
Please find the attached video of my VersaLift. It took me approximately 1 1/2 hours to install and I couldn't be happier. We just added a new 1600 sq.ft. garage on our property with an 800 sq.ft. apartment upstairs. The downstairs has 12 foot ceilings for a car lift so its quite a hike up the stairs to the 2nd floor. My Dad sent me a video of the VersaLift as a different option to pull down stairs. Once I saw it in action, I knew this was the product for us. You will notice that I have an orange extension cord running through the VersaLift opening as we didn't have the power hooked up to the garage yet. I think the video pretty much speaks for itself. The lift will serve us in many ways. We have a huge storage area up above as well as a door to access this area from the apartment. Anything that needs to go upstairs is sent up with the VersaLift. Groceries, Storage Bins, Luggage, Etc. We have been able to use it for everything and fully endorse your product. Now that we have it, we wouldn't know what to do without it.
Thank you,

MORE STORAGE SPACE NOW!
When we purchased our home a few years ago we had very little storage space. So, I hired a handyman to install a ceiling in our garage, which gave us plenty of useable attic space. This worked great for a time but I realized that hauling bulky items up and down the folding attic stairs was a safety issue. The thought of my significant other slipping and falling was enough for me to find a better option. I was so happy and relieved to find the solution to our problem with Versa Lift!
This project was a little beyond my skill level and I vacillated with the decision to install it myself or hire a handyman. Luckily, my uncle, who’s skill exceeds my own was more than happy to help me! We completed the project over several weekends not exceeding more than 3-4 hours per stint. Versa Lift also has a help line that you can call if you have any questions – very friendly and helpful staff…thank you!
Our only hang-up was not realizing that we needed the Truss Leg Kit to complete the project. No problem - the kit arrived shortly after the order was made and the project resumed. My recommendation to others is when you decide on the location of your lift consider whether the lift will sit between 24” on center trusses – if so buy the kit you’ll need it!
Finally, I’m so happy I found this product it’s well built and I’m confident that it will service our family for years to come.
Thanks again!

Multiple Solutions for Multiple Challenges
Our first challenge was the electrical wires running across the top of the joices. There were many of them and they were stretch taught so presented a problem finding a clear opening free of wires. Jack found that in the northwest corner. He then ran wire and installed two LED fixtures that lit the entire attic.
Our ceiling height measured right at 11 feet. I made the decision to buy the 14’ height to have plenty of room. As it turned out that permitted us to run 1X2’s over the joices and elevate the flooring above all the wires.
We also mounted a box above the lift on a rafter for electrical power. The Versalift came with a 6' plug so all we had to do was plug it in.
We have a very large attic that has inside access from the second floor. The route is up the stairs, through a loft, bedroom, bathroom and closet. Carrying big plastic bins of stuff awkward even after you traverse the stairs. The VersaLift provided multiple solutions to our challenges.

SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT YEARS AGO
We installed the Versalift in about 5 hours, it was not a very difficult task. The hardest part was cutting into the floor joists and framing it out, but my handyman/carpenter did the task well. This is a great product and we wish we had bought it years ago...

I am very happy with the Versalift System I purchased. The entire process from ordering, delivery and installation has been well thought out and provided me with a stress free experience. The lift is ideal for moving boxes and containers from ground floor storage to the attic in the garage. Family and friends that have seen the lift in operations are impressed with the ease of operation and lift capability. I will highly recommend this lift system to anyone! -

Being a small business owner of a solo private practice, my office does not have a lot of storage space other than our attic. Having to carry heavy patient charts and unused furniture, up a pull down ladder, is the least bit easy. Now that I have my Versalift installed, I can get just about anything into the attic effortlessly and efficiently.
Thank you,

I saw the Versa Lift advertised on tv in Dec, about two days after I had spent approximately 1 1/2 hours getting all the Christmas decorations out of the attic. I spoke with my wife and we decided it would be a asset to the house. Approximately a week after placing the order (in May), the lift arrived. I was impressed with the packaging and also with the quality of the product. Installation went fairly easy. As you can see in the pictures I had to fit it in between the trusses (as that was the only place it would fit). I found that I had to leave one leg off until I could maneuver it between the trusses, that turned out not to be an issue and worked great. I wired the electric outlet off of the attic light, as suggested, and the unit works flawlessly! My wife and I put all the Christmas decorations back up into the attic in about 15 minutes. I feel it was WELL worth the effort and cost involved. We are extremely pleased with this lift and have/will be recommending it to friends. We would like to add that as we live in a 55+ community and, as such, this addition becomes a extra selling point to the home. -

This shows Truss Legs coming down to the floor, but because they do not interfere with the end of the lift, a Truss Leg Kit is not going to be necessary.

By HiBuckeyeHi on May 20, 2015
We recently built a new home with a planned large storage loft above the garage. During construction we realized carrying boxes of stuff up the traditional fold down attic stairs would be both cumbersome and dangerous. Therefore we began researching ways to transport items up and down from the loft in a safe and effective manor. In doing our research we ran across the Versa Lift System and after reviewing the online data, we purchased a system. We installed the system ourselves which took about 4 hours following the clear, straightforward instructions. The system was delivered with all the parts and instructions and without damage. The system works exactly as is advertised and it is a great system. We followed load instructions and we moved numerous plastic storage bins (about 15 of them) to the attic without difficulty. I was in the garage and loaded the versa lift and sent it up to my husband in the attic, who unloaded the boxes and stored them. We are grateful we found this system. It is so much safer and so much easier than muscling the storage bins up a garage fold-up ladder. We absolutely love this Versa Lift system. We also added a rail system around the stairway opening in the attic. It is definitely a plus to have the additional safety feature. This system is MORE than worth the money we spent. Thanks. -

I have not only absolutely loved having Versa Lift, I most recently got to experience their superb customer service. I needed to replace an antenna on my unit and had it resolved with a single phone call. So be assured that when you buy one of these, it will not only make your life easier, you can expect great ongoing support.

It is a real back saver for putting things in the attic.
The installation went very well. The instructions were detailed with illustrations. I had a question during installation which was answered promptly and satisfactorily when I called. The only issue I had was I had to install it in a location that the support legs interfered with the truss members. This required that I add a scab to the outside of the members for support then cut away the original member for clearance. I am very happy with the unit as it is a real back saver for putting things in theattic. Thanks.

Wow! What a great Versalift.
Wow! What a great Versalift. My wife loves holidays and we have hundreds of boxes full of decorations. My back went out and we needed a way to move things up to and down from the second floor of my shop. Now no more caring boxes up and down the stairs. Simply load the lift and push a button. It a life (back) saver. Quick shipping and fairly easyto install. Looks to be wellengineered and made, and should last a long time. Took some time to create the support structure without tearing up the existing floor but now looks great.

Moving lots of heavy items to the attic is now easy.
I installed the Versalift myself along with an aluminum attic ladder. I installed a switch with an outlet at the edge of the ladder hole to power the Versalift and an attic light. This makes it easy to lower the ladder, step up a couple of steps and turn on the switch to power the Versalift and a light in the attic. Because of limited space in a truss roof attic, I had to make many measurements to figure out exactly where to position the Versalift so it didn't interfere with the trusses in the roof and still allow me to get items on and off the lift platform. In the end, I was able to locate the lift where I could retrieve large items from the end but not the sides. So far this has not been a problem. I've even managed to put the end of long items on the platform, raise the platform up as far as possible then pull them into the attic from above. The installation turned out well and I am quite pleased with the Versalift. Moving lots of heavy items to the attic is now easy which is important for a 70 year old retiree.
PS: I just wish you had included the support legs for a truss roof in the standard kit instead of forcing me to buy extra truss roof legs. The legs for the truss roof can be used in all installations. This is not the case with the standard legs. See attached photos.

Thanks so much to versalift for more peace of mind.
This is a picture of our new versalift and ladder which we recently had installed. Today they installed the versalift rail around the ladder which makes it so much safer to get into the attic. I highly recommend the railing along with the versalift. We are very pleased with it. Being both in our 70's it was getting a bit risky to be wrestling boxes and items up to the attic for storage. Now it is so much easier not to mention so much safer. We just love the new system and highly recommend it for anyone who wants easier and safer in order to obtain more attic storage. Thanks so much to versalift for more peace of mind. Thanks so much for yours and Betty's help as the whole process went very smoothly.

I ordered the 24MH Versalift since I have 12-1/2 foot ceilings in my garage/race shop. I ordered it with the wall switch controls since my structure doesn’t lend itself to the corded remote, and I’m terrible about having wireless ones where I need them when I need them! The wall switches are great – you always have a control right there whether upstairs or down, and by simply installing an electrical box in the wall first (like used for a light switch or receptacle) you have a professional, finished look.
Even though I have a 48” wide permanent staircase that can handle large objects, carrying 5+ sets of race tires and wheels two at a time to the conditioned storage upstairs gets old. Not to mention heavy coolers, drinks, etc. As you can see in the pics, the upstairs is 102’ x 15’ so there are lots of things that can go up there, and need to come down from time to time. Holiday decorations, scuba gear, whatever. And my wife is so excited since it seems like she’s moving things up and down more than me. We expect the Versalift to make our lives so much easier for years to come. -

I am sure it will save my back from having to lug items up & down the stairs.
It was installed this year shortly after it was shipped to me after a verylengthywait from your shipper delays.
It seems to have a smooth operation up & down. I especially like the railing for the stairs to the attic since you can't hold on to anything to pull yourself up or hold on when coming down. My contractor did run the cord through a hole in ceiling and we mounted the control against the wall so you don't have to go in the attic to bring the control down and take it back up when your done using the lift. We also wired it through a switch that controls the attic light so you have to use the switch before you operated the lift as a added extra safety precaution. We have showed it several times to construction workers and other people who were asking about it. I am sure it will save my back from having to lug items up & down the stairs.

It has made that chore so much easier.
Hello, Just got my versa lift installed. I am sending a picture. This is the first versa lift I have ever seen or as a matter of fact the first anyone has ever seen up here in Northern Maine. I had to wait to have it installed. But it was well worth the wait. We followed the instruction in the manual and it was not too complicated to install. The Versa lift works as advertised and I know I will enjoy using it. I am a senior citizen and going up and down the stairs carrying totes and boxes was becoming difficult. It has made that chore so much easier.

I will not hesitate to recommend this system to my clients.
I am a builder in San Antonio and ordered the lift to be installed in my personal home that was under construction. Attached, you will find several pictures of the lift in my conditioned attic. I had my trim carpenter install the lift. Never before had he done an installation like this, but he got it completed in just two to three hours. It works great and perfect for lifting the holiday boxes from the garage to attic and back. In addition, I appreciate you working with me when I initially ordered the wrong unit. You were very professional and the exchange was expedited quickly. I will not hesitate to recommend this system to my clients.

We HAD TO HAVE ONE!!!!
My wife and I retired from the military and bought our “forever” home here in Texas. The first day we saw the house we noticed and were impressed with how tall the ceilings were throughout the entire house. Our opinion of high ceilings soon changed once we began trying to put stuff in the attic. The tall ceilings and rickety attic ladder made it very difficult to utilize the attic due to having to support heavy items at awkward angles trying to get them up. With previous back problems we knew we need to look for an alternate method of utilizing the extra storage space we have in the attic. This led us to Versalift. I was impressed by the operation and the reviews online and decided we HAD TO HAVE ONE!!!! I called the Versalift staff and the customer support was outstanding from the start. My questions were answered and the order was placed. I ordered on a Thurs and my lift arrived Monday in three boxes. The instructions are extremely well done and I like the fact differences were noted based on different types of construction of your attic. The lift could have been installed a lot quicker but in the Texas heat I chose to work at night so it took me about three nights to have it done. It worked great and I immediately showed it off to all my neighbors (who all want one). Shortly I was able to reclaim my garage and move everything we wanted in the attic with very little effort and without worrying about falling off a ladder. I feel so much safer having this in my home. This product is well worth the money and added value to my home. Thank you for making such an awesome product!!

THIS SYSTEM IS MORE THAN WORTH THE MONEY WE SPENT
We recently moved into a new home that had lots of storage above the garage. But we had no way to get our items up there. I heard about the Versa Lift system from a friend. We went online and after reviewing the online data, we purchased a system. We knew that we needed to hire someone to install the system, which we did, because my husband and I can no longer do that kind of work. Our contractor took the installation instructions and reviewed them. He came out and installed the system, following the instructions, without difficulty. It was done in about 5 hours. The system was delivered with all the parts and instructions and without damage. The system works exactly as is advertised and it is a great system. We followed load instructions and we moved all the Christmas decorations that are in plastic storage bins (about 15 of them) to the attic without difficulty. I was in the garage and loaded the versa lift and sent it up to my husband in the attic, who unloaded the boxes and stored them. We are grateful we found this system. It is so much safer and so much easier than muscling the storage bins up a garage fold-up ladder. We absolutely love this Versa Lift system. We also added a rail system around the stairway opening in the attic. It is definitely a plus to have the additional safety feature. This system is MORE than worth the money we spent. Thanks.

IT RUNS VERY SMOOTHLY
My Versalift was installed by my new home builder. He said it went together very easily, Since it was a new construction installation that probably made it a bit easier. I have attached some pictures of my lift and some of the boxes i have transported to the attic with it. The size of the Versa Lift is very good, allowing significant loads to be moved each trip. It runs very smoothly, with very little side to side or fore to aft movement of the lift base. It also fits very snuggly into the ceiling hole. I did add a run of 1/2 wide foam weather stripping around the upside perimeter of the lift base for an even snugger fit to the ceiling, but that was certainly not necessary. I just seem to always try to gold plate stuff. The Versa Lift has already paid for itself in my mind in just getting a season's worth of holiday decoration into my attic. What would have taken half a day by foot took about an hour with the Versa Lift and that's because I did it my self and had to walk up and down to load and unload it.

THIS WAS A FUN ERECTOR SET, BIG BOY SIZE
Quick shipment. I downloaded the manual and cut the hole and ran the electric before the lift arrived. Very well packaged. Everything was in the 3 boxes that was supposed to be there. I am very handy with tools. This was a fun erector set, big boy size. Everything fit well together and the materials are very well made. The manual was very clear and the extra warning signs made sure you follow the steps for an easy install. Once the lift arrived it was up and running in 3.5 hours. I like doing things by myself but I definitely needed two people to lift the main unit into the attic safely. I opted for the corded model. You can't misplace it..

I KNOW I WILL ENJOY USING IT
Hello, Just got my versa lift installed. I am sending a picture. This is the first versa lift I have ever seen or as a matter of fact the first anyone has ever seen up here in Northern Maine. I had to wait to have it installed. But it was well worth the wait. We followed the instruction in the manual and it was not too complicated to install. The Versa lift works as advertised and I know I will enjoy using it. I am a senior citizen and going up and down the stairs carrying totes and boxes was becoming difficult. It has made that chore so much easier.

"THE ATTIC HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A CONVENIENT “ACTIVE” STORAGE AREA."
I purchased and installed my Versa Lift 24 as part of a project to improve attic storage in my home.
The Versa Lift arrived without damage and I found the step-by-step instruction both clear and complete. I installed the Versa Lift in the existing attic stairs portal (and, separately, had a set of stairs installed adjacent to the lift location).I was able to position both the lift and new stairs so they are both assessable with the car in normal position in the garage (see Photo1). Within the attic, the lift is assessable from one side (see Photo 2).The corded remote controller can be moved up or down through the stairs portal and stores nicely on a bottom stairs rung when the stairs are up. The Versa Lift works great and allows efficient and (very importantly) SAFE movement of items into and out of the attic … so much so that the attic has been transformed into a convenient “active” storage area. The Versa Lift completely eliminates the awkward and dangerous dragging of items up and down narrow attic folding stairs. After contacting the polite and efficient Versa Lift support staff I found I was able to place insulation board between the lift floor and the cover panel, install a foam seal around the cover panel, and carpet the lift floor. The lift in closed position is neat and (air) tight (see Photo 3).
My wife and I are delighted with our Versa Lift.
