The system is integrated into the interior space of the storage container and includes a plurality of shelving units distributed along the length of the storage container. Each of the plurality of shelving units includes a platform, a storage shelf, a first pulley support assembly, and a second pulley support assembly. The storage shelf and the platform are positioned coincident and parallel to each other. Each of the pulley support assemblies includes a retraction mechanism and a cable through which the storage shelf is tethered to the platform; the retraction mechanisms are adjacently mounted to the platform while the cables are tethered to the storage shelf. Additionally, a first stopper and a second stopper are attached to the walls of the storage container and provide vertical structural support. The system may be positioned in a functional or retracted configuration.
