The support rails include support rail extensions on at least one end thereof for joining to a proximate support rail and the I-beam tracks include I-beam extensions on one end thereof for joining to a proximate I-beam track. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: at least two support rails attachable to a rigid overhead structure in a parallel spaced arrangement; at least two I-beam tracks, each I-beam track configured to slidably attach to each of said at least two support rails in a spaced relationship, said at least two I-beam tracks each having lower platforms defining a path in said spaced relationship to receive and support opposite ends of one or more storage bins such that each of said I-beam tracks collectively support each of said one or more storage bins; and wherein said support rails include support rail extensions on at least one end thereof for joining to a proximate support rail and said I-beam tracks include I-beam extensions on at least one end thereof for joining to a proximate I-beam track, wherein said I-beam track extensions have rectangular cross-section and are configured to slide into an open end of said proximate I-beam track opposite an end having said I-beam extension. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein said support rails have a U-shaped cross-section. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein said support rail extensions are U-shaped and configured to slide into an open end of said proximate support rail opposite an end having said support rail extension. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein said support rail extensions include openings for receiving one or more fasteners for connecting two support rails to one another. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein said I-beam track extensions include openings for receiving one or more fasteners for connecting two I-beam tracks to one another. ### Claim 6 A system comprising: at least two support rails attached to a rigid overhead structure in a parallel spaced arrangement; at least two I-beam tracks, each of said I-beam tracks slidably attached to each of said at least two support rails in a spaced relationship, said at least two I-beam tracks each having lower platforms defining a path in said spaced relationship to receive and support opposite ends of one or more storage bins such that each one of said at least two I-beam tracks collectively supports each of said one or more storage bins; and wherein said support rails include support rail extensions on at least one end thereof for joining to a proximate support rail and said I-beam tracks include I-beam extensions on at least one end thereof for joining to a proximate I-beam track, wherein said I-beam track extensions have rectangular cross-sections and are configured to slide into an open end of said proximate I-beam track opposite an end having said I-beam extension. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein said support rails have a U-shaped cross-section. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein said support rail extensions are U-shaped and configured to slide into an open end of said proximate support rail opposite an end having said support rail extension. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein said support rail extensions include openings for receiving one or more fasteners for connecting two support rails to one another. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein said I-beam track extensions include openings for receiving one or more fasteners for connecting two I-beam tracks to one another.
