If you need more storage space in your garage you can construct ceiling flanges from 2x4s and plywood that will hold any heavy-duty plastic storage bin.
The Family Handyman site claims this project can be done over a weekend with around $75 worth of lumber and other materials. You’ll cut the lumber, assemble the flanges, and mount them to your ceiling joists. Once assembled, slide your storage bins in the flange. If you build 4 flanges long enough to store two 14-gallon totes between each set of flanges as in the photo above you’ve gained 84 gallons (six totes) worth of storage space — via Lifehacker
