The present disclosure relates more particularly to a carrier configured to mount ceiling panels at varying heights. The carrier includes an elongate support structure extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of attachment projections positioned along the length of the carrier. Each of the attachment projections extends down from the support structure and is configured to hold a ceiling panel. The attachment projections include a first group with a body and an upper hanger that has a first upper flange extending from the body in the longitudinal direction. The attachment projections also include a second group with a body and a lower hanger that has a first lower flange extending from the body in the longitudinal direction.
