Certain exemplary embodiments provide for an overhead lift storage device comprising a longitudinal track for overhead mount and a pulley system for guiding at least one cable-like element therethrough. Each cable-like element has a connection end configured for connection with an article to be stored in a suspended storage position. An activation system is used to operate the pulley system causing the cable--like element to raise or lower a connected article between a lowered connecting position and a suspended storage position. A weight limiting clutch is used to limit the maximum force which can be used to lift a load thereby decreasing the risk of failure of the pulley system or cable-like element. A safety catch may be incorporated into the overhead lift storage device for taking the load off of the pulley system and / or cable-like element when the article is in the suspended storage position. The safety catch interacts directly with the cable-like element or a component thereof to take the load of the suspended article and does not support the article from below.
