Instead of mounting the boxes face down mount them through their sides so that they face out. That's what I did with my ceiling DC unit.
CV 1800 dust collector
https://www.clearvuecyclones.com/cyclone-bundles/66-cv1800-lh-1p-cyclone-bundle-with-filters.html
Well after studying dust collection this past few days , I’m thinking it’s time to retire my General DC , and upgrade to something that will improve the dust collection from my table saw .
From the videos I’ve watched , the cyclone clear view seems like a winner .
I’m going to order it with the optional 16” impeller assembly for more cfm . It’s a $100 upgrade , and the more cfm the better I’m assuming,unless it creates a problem with the cyclone effect . You’d think they’ve took that into consideration though ?
Now I can go overhead like I wanted to , and not have to worry about not having enough suction .
I’ve watched videos on the product, and although it seems kind of plasticky to me , no ones complaining about it so far , and I don’t want to pay the extra for an all metal one .
I have a 10’ ceiling , so heights not an issue for the system , plus as a bonus, I get to keep it tucked away in the far corner where I preferred to have it located .
If I kept my old setup, I was going to move it to the centre side on the garage , as close as I could have it to my table saw .
So now I’m just waiting for a shipping quote, which may be the deal breaker

Guys , I posted earlier that I sourced out an oil drum for the saw dust . But now I’m steering towards making a container out of wood with a sealed door .
Wouldn’t it be much easier to have a door that’s latched on the front of a wooden box , then open it when it’s starting to fill up , and just shovel the saw dust out into a garbage bin ?
I know it’s an additional step, but undoing the band at the top of the drum and actually having to remove the drum from under the Cyclone seems like a lot of hassle regardless .
I haven’t actually taken the band off yet to see how the lid comes off , but I suspect it’s a nuisance

I did a quick search for barrel clamps and this popped up from McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/barrel-clamps/closing-rings-for-steel-drums/ which has the quick release clamp. I did something similar to Herb with a ply top for a trash can. I made a "slip" ring epoxied to the underside of trash can ring and suspended the lid and cyclone on the wall. The can hangs about 1" off the floor. When I need to empty the can it drops to floor so I slide it out and dump it.

I’m liking that quick release idea
