Default Large tool storage

I didn't really see a dedicated spot for this (like a Garage subforum) but was wondering how everyone stores large tools like motorcycle jacks or lift tables when not in use. Mine is currently sitting next to the bike with a bunch of crap on it because I can't find anything better to do with it.

As I have gotten older, I have gone to loose pants.

I built a workbench with the shelf under the top high enough and middle post far enough to fit a jack under. Bottom shelf only goes part way and room for a shop vac at other end.

Table becomes another work surface, jack get hung next to the welder. Screw jack pushes under a roll-away.

Park my Trike on the lift table, floor jacks are under one of my roll-a-way tool boxes, old Craftsman motorcycle jack is stood up in the corner.

My Quick Jack is on Harbor Freight roller dollies and slid under the clothing racks that hold my motorcycle gear.

Lots of options depending on your floor space.
