Yessir. It is 12'. When I built my shop years before I got my lift, I had no intention of buying one at the time. But my lift worked out really great as it turns out. The top chain track fit perfectly over my ceiling joists and I got a photo eye from work to shoot a beam just across the bottom of the ceiling joists to stop a vehicle roof before it gets into the ceiling.

The pallet racking is part of several loads of surplus stuff that I got from work for nothing. One day I'll get around to squirting some paint on it. Or not.

My next project is to add about 30 feet onto the end and put a down draft paint booth in.

I put my stairs on the outside to access the storage in the top. That kept me from using valuable space inside. I have an L shaped set of steps up to it with a landing that I can sit a pallet on using my forks on the front of the John Deere loader.
