Workspace floor space is at a premium, and this video shows you how to free some up and make your shop more functional using your ceiling space.

I've included some vendors below to get you started; however, check your local electrical supply warehouse. Often, eBay has these types of parts in bulk for cheap.

It's all straightforward; however, if you have any questions, leave me a comment, and I'll try to help.

NOTE: Before loading down your ceiling you need to know what your ceiling can support. My ceiling has 2x12 joists with a glue-lam beam. I talked to an engineer about how much weight I could add and I monitored it after installation for any issues. This is the primary reason I am not storing lumber over unused space, weight.

They have all the cable tray parts. I used them because they were the cheapest I could find. I paid $24.71 per 5' section of cable tray. Many vendors have this, but they were the cheapest. Shipping was $149 for 238 lbs. They also sell all the brackets, braces, guiders, and grounding bolts.
