I am slowly acquiring a pretty healthy collection of pipe wrenches (18" - 48") , threader die ratchets, threaders, most of which are steel and most of which are currently sitting in a 5 gallon bucket in my work trailer.

I would love to find a more efficient way of organizing/hanging them. I like the idea of the sections of deep strut to hang pipe wrenches on, but have roughly a 4' x 4' wall area to hang 2x 18", 2x 24" 2x 36" and 2x 48", in addition to 3x threader die ratchets and an older all in one adjustable threader, so looking for something that could hold a lot of weight, could stay organized even after transporting the trailer over rough roads (Montana winters = LOTS of washboard and potholes come spring!)

I have access to a welder and thinking of making a heavy "peg board" with 3/8" x 6" strap steel running horizontal with a series of 1/4" and 3/8" pegs through-welded on it at a slight upward angle. This will allow me to get several fasteners into multiple structural ribs of my trailer while somewhat distributing the weight over a larger surface area, all well keeping the overall weight down.

Would love to know other peoples thoughts or solutions to this.

That sounds like a lot of weight for your typical "contractors trailer" walls they are built to two points, price and weight! Your average 1/2 ton pickup with a "normal gear and engine choice" would tow about 6-8 thousand pounds, so wall skins and wall supports are thin to hit price and weight targets. That is one sweet Rigid pipe kit BTW. So I would consider some setup that distributes some of that weight onto a pair of floor joists on your trailer. Harry

I’m not sure if this is any help in a trailer, but a piece of 3/4” pipe screwed to the wall holds the rest and the clamp keeps anything from sliding off.
