I was contemplating nearly the exact thing last week as I looked at
all the mess in my garage. There actually are several companies that
make single lifts for bikes, mowers, cars, etc... I think maybe this
is one of them...

Anyway, due to the cost of these types of things, I'd probably just
have to build my own. Also, I thought about a single tier swing down
design rather than a straight up lift. If you lift straight up, you
have to move everything that is under your toy to get it down. If it
swings down and out past the things stored underneath, you don't have
that problem. If you want multi-tiered storage, you may have to build
a simple rack then put a lift on the front (kind of like a tommy gate,
only larger).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
