That is one heck of an organizational mind to have something so neat and functional. Very impressive.

I got a couple baskets on a loader tractor and hook up a bunch of stuff as free additional counterweight for the forklift.

How do you guys store your chains when not in use

Hanging:

Or in the ammo box:

And one in the loader safety support:

There goes Terry, showing everyone up as usual! What an apple polisher!

I don't have too many chains so I store them in 5 gal buckets with the hooks on the rim kept next to each other from each chain so you can find them easily. As long as you don't fill too much, they are portable.

I only have a few chains; most are 100 year old, they were used to control the rudder in an old ship I bought.
Anyway, I made steel pegs and drilled a solid concrete section of my shed wall, they pounded them in.
CHEEEEP!

That is just beautiful. Note the safety chain with the spring closure right of center and the very old drawbar clevis top right. Look at the dual purpose slip and grab clevis top left. Never saw saw one like that.
