A storage system that allows a user to store items higher above a shelf than can otherwise be easily reached. A container is pivotally attached to two arms of a U-shaped support rod. The cross bar portion of the U-shaped support rod is pivotally attached to the frontal portion of the shelf. With this arrangement, the user can swing the container in a arc from a lower position convenient to the user, to an upper position overlying the shelf. The cross bar can be attached to either a wire-type shelf or a wood shelf using brackets that need no threaded fasteners.
