How Many Pivoting Beam Sockets to Use for Creating Ceiling Board Holders
Question:
Trying to store long stock items up towards the ceiling of the trailer using board holders and 2x4s. These items will be unloaded first, and the beams moved to create head-space while unloading the rest of the trailer. My original plan was to have two fixed board holders on the ends and to remove the beams entirely, storing them on the wall while not in use. Then put the beams back when were packing it up again. If I use the rotating beam holders, I can keep them assembled and just swing one end 90* parallel to the side wall to move it out of the way. But if only one end of the beam pivots, what should I use on the other end: a fixed beam holder or a pivoting one? Will I be able to remove/unclip the other end if the fitting is a fixed beam holder? Is there enough play/clearance? Or do I need the other end to pivot as well, to easily clear the fitting from the track?
