I made a couple of simple stands for my main and transfer spare boxes.

nice! simple but effective. I think you'd get a kick out of the military gearbox stands here (and engine stands) quite hard to find now. but very very well made. almost to an insane degree.

can't even find pictures online to post here. I have one but it is buried in a crate under some bulkheads...

The ex-mod in crate engine "holders" were a thing to behold certainly.
I've got a spare gearbox just living in the back of the vehicle !
it's so heavy I don't fancy moving it without assist, plus I've nowhere else to put it at the mo anyway.. It makes a good bit of "ballast" tho needs care over those pointless speed hump things.. a few big dents in the floor now

I don't think even a dog-guard would stop that flying forward in an emergency stop!

At my age I wouldn't think of shifting a complete transmission single handed. That's why mine is in 2 sections and this post is here to let other know something simple can be done to help.

Me too I got an engine lift, lifted the gearbox and the engine as one, it was still a struggle, put it down on a pallet

I've got one of those gearbox crates, with the box lid too. Very well made for what they are!

by the way, for shifting around gearboxes, I use bread trolleys, the hard plastic kind, handles the weight easily, nice rubber wheels, stick a bit of wood on top, easy peasy.

like in the picture, takes up no room at all.

Unless I go over a Grand Canyon style cliff and hit the bottom head first at terminal velocity there's no way that's moving trust me!
Funnily enough someone gave me one of those hefty bread trolley things the other day, if and when I ever clear a space for the gearbox to live, other than in the motor, I'll get a mate to give me a hand shifting it obviously.
