How to store GoJacks?

[jayoldschool]

I love my Gojack copies, but they are driving me insane being on the floor in the way. Anyone have any creative storage solutions for them?

Any way you can hang them up ? Fix them to a wall ?

 

[HMCFab9]

build a rack for them with wheels on it. That way you can roll the whole rack right where you need them. That's what I did.

 

[fflintstone]

screw a 3/4 pipe "floor flange" to a wall stud and then a pipe long enough to hang them on.

Put them on a rolling rack...

You can buy the rolling rack for them. I bought a set used from a seller on CL. I spent $140 on new casters (mostly the small ones) and I still had about half or less of the new price in them, but was frustrated by the pile of GoJaks in the floor. They are now on the rack (from Eastwood of all places, best price inc shipping I could come up with) and can all be moved easily around. Making a rack sounds easy, but if you have to buy steel, casters, etc, it isn't worth it when the rack is only about $80 delivered to your door.

Thanks, guys. Found a cheap rolling storage rack on ebay that I'll try out.

How about keep them at my house?

Didn't catch this the first half dozen times I read this.......... You really should have told us EXACTLY what you have, and not say GoJak™ copies, as that didn't really tell us much.

Well, Charles, they are from Canadian Tire. Didn't figure you have a lot of those down your way. Would it have really helped if my title was "How to store Motomaster Positioning Jacks?" Not sure what difference it would make knowing that they are copies, but I did include that info. If you really want to check them out, here is exactly what they are:

Motomaster "Positioning Jacks"

In related news, I picked up my rack, and took five minutes to put it together. I couldn't have built it for the price I paid. $54, shipped. Exactly what I needed. It will stow neatly under my racking. Thanks for the suggestions, gentlemen!

I wish I could find some nice gojack copies like that here in the states at that price. All I seem to find is either complete junk or cost damn near as much as the originals

Jay,

can you advise exactly what rack you found? I have the same storage issue with a set of CT positioning jacks...

Thanks,

Chris

srmofo... I guess I shouldn't mention that they go on sale for 60% off every few months! They're really well made, too. Heavy! Hydraulic, not ratcheting. No problem lifting my heavy full size GM RWD cars and station wagons.

They fit like a glove. I'm surprised CT doesn't have the rack...
