I am in the process of moving my shop, and today I moved a bunch of parallel clamps. I don't have a rack yet, so I was standing them against the wall, and it hit me that when the clamps are closed, if stored head-down, their weight would be on the floor, and all that would be needed on the wall would be something to hold the rails to keep them aligned and stable. Ever the copier, I looked around to see if anyone had made a rack like this, but it seems that everyone is intent on hooking the heads over something that hangs on the wall.

I'm thinking that a base on the floor and the aforementioned wall rack would be a very quick build with no concern over weight.

The downside to it is the lateral space of none of the clamps being stacked, but the heads could actually touch, which would offset some of that.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone done it before?

I attached a picture to make the idea clearer.

Thanks!
