Clamp rack or mobile clamp rack

I keep my , about 75 clamps hanging on the wall on a section of elect. conduit secured to the wall on stand outs.

Floor space is at a premium in my shop, so I went with a wall-based solution:

Floor space issue here also so wall it was.

No compromise here in my basement shop: Walls, floor, drawers, door and ceiling.
As they say: You can’t never have enough space to store all your clamps ! LOL

Best,

In my old shop, I hung ‘em from the rafters using long finish nails. For the longer clamps I went up the rafters so the bottom edges were all pretty level at approx. 7.5ft. High enough I wouldn’t bump into them and easy for me to reach when I needed one (or 10)

I actually built Norm’s mobile clamp rack. While a great concept, it was just too big for my 450sf shop, so I took it apart and returned to using my original wall-mounted rack, which is pretty basic. Even the Rockler mobile metal rack is too big. Now I plan to remove the old wall mounted unit and build the rack pictured below. I can’t remember where I pasted it from, maybe Wood or PWW. I hate not giving proper credit. Since both floor and wall space are a premium in my humble shop, hanging multiple clamps of the same size on one support is the best compromise for me.

I only have ~ 50 clamps,they are hanging on the shop walls,if I see a void on the walls,I either put up a shelf or stick a nail to hang something.those floor racks are great if you have the floor space .

I modeled a mobile clamp rack after Norm’s A-frame unit to get some reasonably dense storage space. In practice, I rarely move it around from its resting place against the wall. If I had it to do over again, I’d still build a mobile rack for efficient storage.

i considered a mobile clamp rack when i built mine a couple weeks ago,but decided i had enough in the garage thats mobile and it seems i’m pushing to much around to get to something else.

In the beginning, wall, now rolling, about to be both.

I’m switching to mobile. My shop (30×40) is running out of wall room…several benches because it is more than a wood shop but add in wall racks for drill bits, paints/stains, heat plant, music, misc storage, doors/windows etc. it it is pretty much full. I have a lot of room in the middle.

Mobile rack here. It does save some steps.
