To give some perspective , back in the 70s the house I lived in had a two car garage with standard 2x4 constructed trusses ( not roof rafters ) I had two heavy bags hanging from two different bottom cords - one 80 lb and one 110 lb - also had plywood up above for misc storage. Years of wailing...

Another option if you don't have a truck is an open trailer from uhaul , as a one way ( if you have something with a hitch )

To prep it- pallet ( add a piece of 1/2 inch ish to the top ) shrink wrap it , wrap with one furniture pad ( HF ) wrap with card board ( I use a wardrobe box , thicker than most ) shrink wrap again. Add some blocking around casters , strap to pallet with several ratchet straps ( HF ) use eye...

I have a variety of ratchets from titan tools. Very happy with them.

My press is custom built , I added a HF cable winch to the side to raise and lower the press deck. Picked up a set of 1/2 drive deep impact sockets from HF to use with it for bearings , bushings , etc .Add a bearing separator. Got some heavy wall c- channel at the scrap yard to use as risers.

Make sure to hang a hockey mask next to it , for those special moments.

Instead of storing them this way use a wide cabinet about 24 inch deep , put them in flat,against the back . a shelf or two above for smaller. You may have to put different sizes in front of each other but it only takes a second to,grab what you need. I work in the moving and storage industry ...

You could design the frame with some built in cut outs to let the straps slide out or simply empty the box , remove top drawer and lift with fork lift via removed drawer slot .

Same here. I have several sets of the lifting straps from HF. I also use an engine leveler with them.

I would go 10 foot high just in case.

My main box is parked with shims under front casters to make sure drawers stay closed. Probably weighs 2500 loaded. Only time it moves is if I move to a new house. I have several shop carts for moving around.

I have two , a narrow crown ( 1/4 inch wide staples up to 1 1/2 inch long ) and wide crown ( 7/16 up to 5/8 long ) I use 1/4 long in wide for upholstery stuff. the other I use for things like chicken wire , weld wire , trim and even 7/16 osb inside sheds . just a diyer so both are from HF. Have...

The titanium flux core welder from HF is highly rated. For 150.00 it will do alot. With flux core you can weld outside without worrying about shielding gas loss on a windy day. Not having to have gas on hand is a savings. As a DIY guy I use a flux core wire welder and for heavier stuff I have...

One of my sister's houses developed a leak during a rain storm ( asphalt shingles ) used Henry's that was rated to go in even in rain. Worked fine , no more leak. Years later she sold the house and at that time it was still not leaking.
