Made from a garage door cable drum, garage door cable, brearing pillow blocks, 1" 0.120 wall tube, 9/16 shafting, and an amazon special awning roller. Its not sketchy at all, nope. Seriously though, don’t stand under it.

Same, especially as a fellow practitioner of the dark arts of “this unrelated device looks fit for purpose.” We had some large purpose-designed overhead trays prefessionally installed above our garage door, and while they’re each rated for a pretty hefty load, first choice for what to put up there was always items that are not very dense for their size. I will mess with a lot of stuff, but fucking with HVAC, weight-loads on ceilings, or in-wall plumbing and electrical is not for me.
I did some sketchy napkin math and the load in the cable as is is ~30-75lbs depending on what is in the boxes and how its arranged assuming the box weight based on a half sheet of 5/8 plywood and 30-50lbs of stuff in it. I can live with that.
Hanging loads still make me nervous and I will be righing up some kind of safety pin/clip for these.
