QuickJack - How do you store the frames?

[PeterN]

I've got the QuickJack 7000 EXT and am looking for a secure way to store the frames either vertically or horizontally. Each frame weighs nearly 100lbs so I want to make sure it is stored securely. I'd be attaching the frames to a wood wall so concrete anchoring methods are not possible. Any pictures out there showing a good way to secure it to the wall?

Quickjack 5000 stored on the wall with j-hooks from the dollar store using tapcons

For your situation and the weight of each, store them vertically with chains looped around them

Definitely store them vertically, it'll save your back for sure. I'll try to dig up a picture of the bracket I made for mine.

Good timing on this question. My 7000std's arrive on Thursday. I am going to store them vertically between my 2 garage doors.

I store mine on the floor under the car. But then I only have a one car garage.

Under the car for sure. I use them every weekend or so it seems. Leave them hooked up too.

I made a frame for the top of my 20T HF press frame. The frames hang on the sides and the rubber blocks are stacked on top.

I put some J hooks into the wall - one for each frame. Since the hooks screw into the wall I rotate them vertically to put the frames in place then turn the hook so it's horizontal and locks the frame in place so it doesn't go anywhere. I then have a bungee cord on there just in case. So far it works pretty well, was really easy and really cheap.

I picked up some Craigslist cheap mechanics creepers, removed the padded platform and store one lift on each creeper. I roll them under the tool bench and completely out of the way. The hoses are draped over a plastic hose hanger and the power unit is in a nearby cabinet.

To others in Canada, this hook sold at Homedepot.ca worked great to put the quickjacks against the wall. https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ev...der-and-wheelbarrow-hook-black-1pc/1001093822

^Fantastic idea. Now why don't they sell that here in the US? Looks like there may be some comparable options though.

I purchased these brackets from HD for $35. I then used a scrap 2 x 8 to mount the brackets to the wall, hitting at least three 2 x 4's in the process for strength. The QJs hang about an inch off the ground.

^Not as cheap as the other solution but not bad considering everywhere else sells those for $50. I think I'll bite the bullet and pick these up.
