Storing the ladder on a ceiling rack is a perfect idea, so long as you have a step ladder to get it down. You can hang the step ladder on a wall hook, and put the bigger ladder away and out of sight in the ceiling rack.
My favorite ceiling rack for this job is the Store Your Board Hi-Port Ceiling Rack. It's easy to install, it's a simple design. You can use the Hi-Port to store two ladders up to 30 inches and 75 lb. per each.
For instance, a Louisville 32 ft. compacts down to 29 ft. when in storage mode. The ladder weighs 59 lb., and is only 18 inches wide. The 18-inch width easily fits in the 30-inch rack. The storage rack's 75 lb. capacity easily handles the 59 lb. ladder.
How to Buy the Store Your Board Ladder Ceiling Rack
Just remember that you need a step ladder to get your longer ladder down from the ceiling. Store up to 75 lb. per side on the Store Your Board ceiling rack. This rack is also a great solution for storing kayaks and other long items.
