Duh UFO, that's the selling point to the wife. Honey, I need a bigger garage to fit this gantry I saw. After all you're building cookers so you can feed the fam.
If you build it with the vertical leg(s) out of pipe, use pins or bolts to lock it in position, you would be able to spin the a-frame structure of each side. This would allow storing it next to the wall only taking approximately 8 inches rather than several feet.
I've used from 2 ton to 400 ton gantries for many years, also made several add on parts for them.
