Torpedo heater placement

[lemons12]

Looking for ideas for torpedo heater placement. It is a fairly large heater, 135K BTU IIRC, that is on wheels. It has a built in thermostat so it is more of a plug it in and forget about it while be used.

I was considering some sort of pulley system so I could lower it when it needed a refuel. However, I am thinking about a more permanent placement so it is its storage place + usage place.
I'm young so refilling it won't be too much of an issue with it staying in place. Slight inconvenience but so is having it take up floor space.

Maybe just come down from the ceiling with a 2X4 and that will be my 4th corner (I plan on putting it in a corner).

I have 10' ceiling so maybe drop it down to a 6' "shelf" for it to sit on.

Any ideas why this is a bad idea or anybody have a better idea than this?

Floor space is limited, the more I can get off the floor, the better.

I wouldn't put a torpedo on anything but the floor. No way I want that thing falling.

Done right I can't imagine it falling... But that's a fair thought.

And with the thrust it generates (think jet engine) any cabling would need to be quite innovative.

Where are you located? (Please update "Edit Details"))

I used a torpedo heater in my 1st shop back in the early 1980's when I lived in Ohio. It brought the temperature up so quick water condensed on everything, such as tools, vehicle frames... pretty much anything and everything. That in turn made things rust quicker than usual.

They have their place, but they have their draw backs.

I will do that.

I have decided to leave it on the floor and I have it in a position that uses some room but can stay in its storage position while being used.

I am in southern TN/North AL. It is only needed 2 months maybe out of a year.
