Default tourpak storage question

Just a quick one;
I have seen many tourpak storage rack for garage walls etc on this site and they all look good but i have not seen any toupaks off ultra's on racks - ie with the speakers on - are they too heavy for these kind of racks ??

Any new TP rack ideas ?

Thanks All.

I have shelving in my garage ( commercial kitchen style "metro" rack).

The T/P sits on a shelf a 6" piece of wood braces it at the edge of the shelf to hold it upright.

my touring gear is stored adjacent. a dust cover over all of it.

I have way too much crap for a dedicated t/p rack mounted to the wall and i couldn't justify the expense anyway

I have an UC, and the TP is on the rack as we speak. Plenty strong.

I stick mine in the original shipping box, with slots cut in the side to accommodate the mounting bracket. One of these days I am going to build a shelf for it...

What I did from things I had laying around was take two heavy duty shelf brackets, place a piece of 1x on top to extend them longer, screw to wall (making sure to get in studs) and then covered both brackets with foam pipe insulation to protect bottom of tour pack.

I have been considering buying the one from hells foundry. I believe one of our sponsored vendors had the best price on it a little while back when I was shopping for one. Phat Performance I think it was.

I hang mine with a piece of conduit through the mounting bracket sitting on the rafters. Cheap/easy/out of the way

This is what I made.
Bought brackets at lowes that are rated to hold up to 300 lbs.
Other stuff from around shop: thread-all, washers, nuts, eye bolts, rubber hose, and plasti-dip.

Make sure you get into studs when you hang it on wall.
