Since you referenced studs, I am assuming that you have a stick built house. In that case, I would install a 1" by 4" board across several studs with at least2 or 2.5 inch decking screws, 2 per stud. Then you can use conventional brackets to mount your equipment. my house is concrete block, and I have mounted several items (TV, 2 ladders, leaf blower, hedger trimmer, and cabinets) to the walls with no problems. I used concrete expansion bolts is suitably sized holes. I also used an overhead system for the bicycles which hangs these from the ceiling. In this case, I installed 1 by 4 across the rafters so that I could locate the brackets in the correct locations. I used 2.5 inch decking screws in the 1 by 4 and these were at least 4 + feet long to hit 3 (24 inch center) rafters.
Hope this helps. PM me if you would like to see what I have done and how.
