Powerbuilt All-In-One Lift Jack: Need case/storage ideas
Anticipating my first bearing maintenance (after the next trip) I purchased a set of the Powerbuilt all-in-one lift jacks. I bought them based on @Rob's post and the weight of my trailer (no need for greater than 3-Ton jacks). Rob's post is here: https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...-Off-the-Tires
In this thread I am asking for those of you that have one of these (or similar) jacks to share how you store them. Ideally I'd like a a hard-sided case so I can take two of them with me in the truck, but any and all ideas are welcome.

I have the same jack, only one for now, it just rides in a large tool box in the truck. It will be interesting to see what others are using.

I have been truck tool box shopping and have numerous types and style of boxes. Its possible that you could find an aluminum box that may fit between your bike lift and the bedside that could hold these jacks. If you get a pair you could put your air compressor in the other one and keep it out of the weather and prying eyes.

This is my current idea. OK, I know this looks funny.
I'm just trying to stop my cold metal tools from condensing the abundant moist Houston air overnight & rusting the tools.

Found a Stanley Box that fits two near perfectly!
Not terribly exciting, but thought I'd pass along this minor mod.
I found a Stanley Essential Chest at Walmart for my PowerBuilt jacks. Two jacks fit nearly perfectly inside of the box. As a bonus the box has a retractable handle and wheels to ease transport of the jacks.
1. The handle extended.
2. The label on the box.
3. Shows how the jacks fit nearly perfectly vertically.
4. They also fit horizontally, with the bases overlapping just a smidge.
5. I wrapped the jacks in an old moving blanket to keep them from clanging against each other during transport.
6. One more blanket on top and the two jacks are nice and snug.
Ready for use or transport when needed.

I hope I understand your question.
The link in my previous post is a thread (https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...-Off-the-Tires) started by Rob (@Cate&Rob). The first post in his thread has a PDF attachment. It is the most detailed example I've read on how to store a trailer with weight off the wheels.

Just my 2 cents here, I do not store my trailer off the ground. It only sits still the longest thru the winter. For me the jacks in this post are great for wheel changes and axel maintenance , bearings and brakes. Also great for on the road work that we all would rather not do.
If you are going to store a long time , maybe a year or more , then maybe its a good idea to use these at all 4 wheels.
