Best Backpack Blower Rack and Storage Options

A backpack blower stored on the floor of a garage or shed gradually damages the harness straps and frame hardware as the blower tips over or is knocked sideways. A wall-mounted rack or freestanding unit holds the blower upright, keeps the harness straps from creasing under the weight of the unit, and makes it easy to grab and go without untangling straps from other stored equipment. For homeowners with one blower, a single-unit wall-mount bracket is the simplest and most space-efficient solution. For buyers storing two or more blowers, a multi-position wall rack or a freestanding floor rack distributes storage across a compact footprint.

Wall-Mount Racks

Wall-mount backpack blower racks attach to garage or shed studs and hold one or more blowers upright by the frame or harness loop. Most residential wall-mount designs use a J-hook or padded cradle that supports the blower through the bottom of the frame, keeping the weight on the frame rather than on the harness strap webbing.

Best single-unit wall mount: Suncast BMH200 Backpack Blower Hanger

The Suncast BMH200 is a wall-mounted single-unit hanger that supports a backpack blower through the frame by a padded cradle arm. It mounts to a standard 16-inch stud spacing with two lag screws and holds blowers up to 35 pounds. The padded cradle protects the frame finish and harness attachment points. It suits homeowners with one backpack blower who want clean, off-floor storage in a compact footprint.

Best multi-unit wall rack: StoreYourBoard Backpack Blower Wall Rack

The StoreYourBoard multi-position wall rack mounts to studs and provides three to four padded positions for backpack blowers on a single wall bracket. It suits buyers storing two or more units, landscapers with a dedicated equipment storage space, and any setup where floor space is at a premium. The padded horizontal arms extend perpendicular to the wall to support each blower frame without the blowers contacting each other.

Freestanding Racks

Freestanding floor racks do not require wall mounting and can be repositioned without leaving anchor holes. They suit renters, buyers who cannot locate studs in a particular wall section, and storage areas with concrete block walls where anchor installation is more involved.

Best freestanding option: Monkey Bars Backpack Blower Freestanding Rack

The Monkey Bars freestanding rack holds two to four backpack blowers on a powder-coated steel frame with a weighted base that keeps it stable without bolting to the floor. The padded cradle positions keep blowers upright with straps hanging free. It suits garages where floor positioning is flexible and the rack may be moved seasonally.

Storing Gas vs Battery Blowers

Gas backpack blowers should be stored with the fuel tank either drained or treated with a fuel stabilizer before a long off-season. Storing with untreated fuel in the tank allows gum and varnish to form in the carburetor. The seasonal fuel treatment and storage procedure for gas blowers is covered in the how to winterize outdoor power tools guide. Battery backpack blowers should be stored with the battery removed and kept at 40 to 80 percent charge in a dry location above freezing. The blower frame can hang on any of the racks listed above year-round with the battery stored separately.
