Ulti-MATE Garage Storage

[racer951]

Does anyone have any experience with this line of products? The stuff looks very clean and nice but I'm not sure how durable it is. There doesn't seem to be many local places to go check it out so I'd like to get some feedback before outfitting our new shop with it as its not cheap. There are 3 lines, Maximum Garage, Ultimate Garage, and Ultimate Garage Pro. I'm looking to order the Pro line.

Don't have any info for ya, but it looks like quality stuff....

i would check out some local auction sites, and find some industrial shelves and cabs.

I would not order anything till you have touched and felt it. Sometimes the stuff looks great but lacks an industrial quality. The drawer bottoms may be thin and give out with only minimum weight inside them and or the slides may be too weak for any medium or heavy loads. I have some IKEA dressers and they look great but they are fairly lacking in strength. They are fine for the guest bedroom but not for the garage. You may wanna look into kitchen Cabinets and just paint them to look like the belong in a garage. THe local auction is not a bad idea either.

I am installing the Proline in my garage as we speak, i ordered about $2500 worth of base upper and tall cabinets. I have had two upper cabinets one counter top and one base cabinet door where the black laminate is already peeling off out of the box. I called warranty service and they want me to jump through hoops to get replacment pieces and im stuck with an unfinished garage untill the ship the new pieces to me so i can complete my garage. Besides that the cabinets are built great, very sturdy, the base cabinets with the large drawers on them have a wheel on the bottom of them for more support when you pull the drawer out. The upper cabinets are super simple to hang. I am probably going to ditch the counter tops and get a stainless/seamless counter top made instead of the formica ones you can order from them. Ill post pictures later tonight.

will do, it all depends on if i am going to be doing any welding here or not, at the moment business is promising for the next few years and i might be getting an office/shop, if so then the truck is moving into there.

Thanks Ricky, let me know how it goes once you throw so weight in there or start to use them. As far as industrial stuff at an auction, we just spent a ****load on a new house and shop so it would be nice to put in some new, well functioning cabinets that also look good.

98% finished I loaded up the drawers with some crap and the caster underneath really helps it roll smooth and not bind. Overall tehy are great cabinets, alot better than the off the shlef homedepot brand.

Looks great. I wish I had your set up. It looks so clean you could do surgery in there,

Very nice.

What garage floor coating did you use on that?

Very nice.

What garage floor coating did you use on that?

I used the rustoleum brand floor kit from home depot and then added two coats of epoxy floor clear coat from sherwin williams. the biggest pain in the arse was getting the concrete prepped. three washings with degreaser and two citric acid etching washes, then it has dry for two days with out anything touching it then you can paint it. 2 1/2 weeks from start to finish.

here is a before picture.
