Any chance you could use brackets that let it swing out from where you'll be using it ? (It's what I've been thinking about)
Kinda making a Festool version of this ...

I'm thinking a "J" style bracket of reasonable dimension.
All that aside ... why not store it on it's side?

"You see, it's a little know fact that.."..... Festool makes such a hanger already.
But due to their somewhat obscure naming technique, it's difficult to identity. The part you want to look for is known as a
"Vertical Table De-gravityizer"
although it is sometimes referred to as a
"Gravitational Potential Energy Resistor"

i dont own a proper mft so im unfamilier with the details of it.
i think a shelf for the bottom to sit on and a bracket with a bar going from one side to the other that the mft slid up behind . you would put the top edge in first then lift and drop it down onto the shelf. it might be tricky with the weight

It's not that heavy. That sounds like a good idea, Alan. I would add a lip on the front of the shelf.

I thought that was made by Binford. Oo-ooo-ooooh!
But seriously, I'd make a plate to mount to the wall with two dowels just slightly smaller than the dog holes, using the MFT top as a template. By using larger dowels, you have less risk of damaging the dog holes.
