Storage & Workbenches

This is the fixed and mounted side of tool storage: the racks, organizers, shelves, wall plates and work tops that turn a van wall, a shop bay or a stack of tool boxes into an organized system. Most of it is Milwaukee PACKOUT, because PACKOUT is the modular platform that has actually been adopted across utility and contractor fleets, and because the mounting hardware lets the same boxes ride in the truck and hang on the wall without repacking anything.

The parts divide into a few jobs. Wall plates and racking kits fix the system to a surface, so boxes, organizers and battery racks come off the floor and stay put on a rough road. Battery racks hold M12 and M18 packs where a crew can see at a glance what is charged. Compact and low-profile organizers with removable bins hold fasteners, connectors and small parts, and the clear lids mean nobody opens three boxes to find a lug. A customizable work top turns a stack into a bench at the point of work, which on a service call is often the only flat surface available.

Build it in the order the work happens: mount the plates first, hang the racks and organizers the crew reaches for most at chest height, and keep the rolling box at the bottom of the stack so the whole assembly moves as one. For what gets carried rather than mounted, our tool bags, buckets and boxes cover the same tools on the move, and tool boards suit a shop wall where tools hang individually rather than in cases.
