Can you break this down so you can store it easier? or will you just have an 8ft crane laying around when you arent using it?

Yes, You Can Break It Down, Check Out My YouTube Video Of Me Putting It Together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WTJcRHSqks

Yes,I keep the whole thing well broken down and stored in its bag which goes under the bed in the guest room.

The crane can be broken down into two four-foot segments. It's pretty easy.

It comes in four pieces. two 4ft. bars that make the length of the crane. 1 tripod and a small bar for the weights. It can all be stored in the included bag which has padding and fits well in a car's trunk for traveling.

It is connected in the center....so if you have a typical microphone bag...you can store it in there. I purchased a full-size keyboard bag because I wanted some extra space for the weights...and the HD tripod that I mount it on.

Jonathan, the 8' version is comprised of TWO bars, not three. So, 8' is the minimum length for this version of the crane. You can ADD another optional section and make it a 12' unit. It will take some effort to learn to use this well, so don't take a commercial gig before you do some substantial practice. I would also recommend the ball bearing pan adapter though it can be used without. Hope this helps. Johnny.

I don't own the crane but the 4x4 Battat take apart we do own did NOT come with anything to hold the parts. The packing box was not big enough after it was unpacked to use either.

I leave mine up and use it like an extra room. Mine was up for months and held up to storms. It had a rip after a heavy ice storm, but that is my fault for not taking it down. Also, I never had it collapse like the cheaper models do.

You would have to remove your load before you move the crane. It's an Amazon producy

The rack can definitely be taken apart and stored, but you'll need to find another box. The one it came in is too flimsy. I just tied the pieces together with wire and stored it as-is in ten my attic. I did keep the base put together

It is rather easy if you are mechanically inclined. It takes about 2-5 minutes to take down/reassemble. However, storing all the parts is not the easiest. It is not the best for quick trips to the store and keeping all the parts together can be a hassle.

You can remove the two anchors in the middle of the two frame pieces and fold up each side of the frame for storage. You would have to remove the mattress and store it independent of the frame. The frame can't be disassembled with the mattress on it.

I haven't tried to store it but the legs should collapse if you take it down

You mean you are looking to buy it and want to know if being in storage could deteriorate the parts? I don't think so if it is stored in a dry location. You need to assemble when it arrives. The only challenge I'm having is the panel wiggles lose from the connections and I don't get power. It has to be tightened from time to time.

It isn't too bad. My husband and I carried it (a bit awkwardly) with baskets and fishing gear for maybe 1/8 of a mile. The size makes it awkward, but I think you could get it up a balcony. We don't leave ours inflated while storing it, either. Also, if you get a lot of wind, leaving it inflated may cause it to blow away.

My Father leaves it on year round as he stores his snowblower in a corner of his garage. I think you could take it off and on relatively easily as the whole thing is held on by only a few bolts. I think it would be a little bulky to store that way though as I don't believe it would fold up.

Yes, it folds up easily and can be stored out of sight. The thing to remember is the weight limit. My last bench also had a 200lb limit which I didn't notice. The front leg broke off at the welding, though it was some years after I had bought it. I am near the limit so, I don't try any experiments with this one and it seems to be holding itself together well.

Maybe if you stored in one room and did not plan on transporting in a vehicle. It's fragile. I recommend the dewalt version. Bought one in a hurry on sale at Home Depot. Would have ordered from amazon but needed one quick because this item fell apart

Yes to both questions. The legs can be anchored very easily and I've had no trouble taking it down at the end of the summer and storing it in its original box over the winter. One caution, though. Check for the appearance of any rust on the support tubes. Sanding them off and coating them with a little machine oil makes assembly the next spring a lot easier.

The legs do come apart at the green area for storage. We haven't needed to store it yet. It does seem like it would be quite bulky to store.

It is really easy to tear down and put back together, it will be fairly bulky to store but if you have the room it should work.
