Carrying stands etc in a trailer

[Manny]

IM going to install my wheel chocks tomorrow for the trailer (enclosed) and I'm wondering if there is a good way to secure stands. I imagine Ill carry like 4-6 at a time... Should I add a couple of d rings in once corner/against a wall and then use bungee cords or is there a better way that someone can share??

Anything else I should put in that people have found useful. I know a few people have mentioned a paper towel holder

I'm sure the engineers here will recommend something far more complex and elegant. However, your idea is exactly what I would do!!! More rings is a case where "More is More"!

Check out pitposse.com they have a section for trailer accessories, might get some ideas you never thought of. They have stand hooks and stuff, but they're like 40 bucks a set. I would think some bungie cords in a corner would be easier.

Yeah, stands are always a bitch.

I've learned that plastic lawn chairs and bike stands generally fit well together. I usually intertwine them all together and strap a couple of bungees around the pile to the wall.

As I mentioned in another thread, a shelf area is a big plus to have. I go to HomeDepot/Lowes and pick up a standard 6 or 7 foot countertop and cut it to fit across the front of my trailer. With a V-nose, you'll have to get creative.

Anyway, if you have a rolling tool box, design the shelf to let the box fit underneath. If no rolling tool box, go to Walmart or something and pick up a self standing row of plastic drawers. Usually, they are modular so you can stack them as high as you need. Pick a height that works and then make sure the shelf is a little higher.

Having a tool box or a bunch of drawers will come in very handy. Either way, design a simple system to ensure the drawers stay closed while driving. I used a rod that attaches to the floor and the shelf and lays in front of all my drawers. A bungee might work if the drawer stuff isn't too heavy.
