The Ultimate Guide to the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Modular Storage System

Presented by Milwaukee®

 

Any professional will agree: as their number of tools increases over time, the need for storing them efficiently also increases. Many pros have turned to stacking and modular storage to solve the challenges of finding a storage solution that is not only mobile, but can withstand the demands of the jobsite. 

Enter the Milwaukee® PACKOUT™ Modular Storage System, the most versatile and durable modular storage system in the industry. An intuitive and quick attachment mechanism gives you the freedom to stack and lock PACKOUT™ tool boxes, organizers, totes, bags, and more in numerous configurations that best suit your needs. With more than 75 solutions to choose from, you can fully customize your storage across site, transit, and shop. In this guide, we'll focus on the advantages of the PACKOUT™ system, including the four main reasons it's in such high demand: modularity, versatility, durability, and mobility.

Rolling Storage is a great starting point for any PACKOUT™ stack. It connects with all other PACKOUT™ system components via integrated locking cleats, which allows users to easily transport an entire stack on and off the jobsite. 

The PACKOUT™ Rolling Tool Box has a weight capacity of 250 lbs. and is constructed with impact-resistant polymers and metal-reinforced corners so it can withstand harsh jobsite environments. An industrial-grade extension handle and 9" all-terrain wheels ensure you can roll the tool box anywhere on the jobsite. An IP65-rated weather seal protects your tools and accessories from rain and other jobsite debris. 

 

The PACKOUT™ Rolling Tool Chest enables users to store larger tools and equipment, and a dual-stack top provides the ability to transport two PACKOUT™ stacks onto the site. Featuring an industrial-grade handle and 9" all-terrain wheels, this tool chest can be rolled anywhere on the jobsite. An impact-resistant body and metal-reinforced locking points provide maximum strength and durability. This 35-gallon tool chest has a 250 lb. weight capacity, and a locking lid support feature keeps the top securely open, which prevents sudden lid closure while working with tools and accessories.

 

 

 

PACKOUT™ Tool Boxes and Organizers provide versatile options for securely storing and organizing tools and accessories within your stack. With multiple solutions to choose from, they allow users to build and customize their storage system.

The PACKOUT™ 2-Drawer Tool Box and the PACKOUT™ 3-Drawer Tool Box are constructed with impact-resistant polymers, all-metal ball-bearing slides, and metal-reinforced corners. Built for ultimate durability, the drawers are designed for easy access to tools and materials no matter where they’re stacked, and both have a 50 lb. weight capacity. Users can easily customize the internal drawer layouts with quick-adjust dividers, and a locking security bar holds the drawers closed to keep contents secure during transport.

 

 

 

 

The PACKOUT™ Deep Organizer has a 50 lb. weight capacity to store tools and large accessories. For additional organization, the interior features quick-adjust dividers and a deep design for holding both larger fittings and small parts. The organizer is built with impact-resistant polymers to withstand harsh jobsite conditions. An IP65-rated weather seal protects tools, accessories, and small parts from rain and other jobsite debris.

 

 

 

Milwaukee offers PACKOUT™ compatible M12™ and M18™ solutions to make any PACKOUT™ stack even more versatile. From lights and chargers to radios and vacuums, these tools are fully compatible with the modular storage system, giving them unmatched mobility and allowing for easier transport on and off the jobsite. 

The M18 FUEL™ PACKOUT™ 2.5-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum is the most powerful small-capacity 18V wet/dry vacuum. The POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 60% more suction than a competitor's 20V vacuum, giving users powerful performance to easily clean up common wet and dry jobsite debris. The PACKOUT™ compatibility saves downtime spent hauling tools on and off the site. At just 87 dBA, this vacuum is 2x quieter than traditional jobsite wet/dry vacuums. Users can use the vacuum on and off the PACKOUT stack, making this the most portable and versatile wet/dry cleanup solution.

 

 

The M12™ PACKOUT™ Flood Light with USB Charging delivers maximum light output in a compact and mobile design. Featuring 1,400 lumens of TRUEVIEW™ High-Definition Output and three different modes, this light allows users to manage the light output and run time, depending on the needs of the job. When paired with an M12™ XC 4.0 battery pack, the light provides up to 12 hours of runtime. The M12™ PACKOUT™ Flood Light with USB Charging is designed to be top-stack compatible with all PACKOUT™ solutions, making it easily accessible and increasing productivity on the site. Turned on or off, the PACKOUT™ light can be used on any existing PACKOUT™ stack.

 

For storage off the jobsite, PACKOUT™ Shop Storage solutions bring the versatility of PACKOUT™ into the shop. Users can fully customize their storage with wall plates, hooks, tool racks, tool holders, and a cabinet that connects with all PACKOUT™ solutions.

 

 

 

Wall Plates feature quick alignment tabs on all sides, making installing rows and columns of multiple plates easy. Available in two sizes, the Large Wall Plate features a 150 lb. wall-mounted capacity, and the Compact Wall Plate features a 50 lb. wall-mounted capacity.

Hooks, tool racks, and holders provide the most secure mounting when paired with PACKOUT™ Wall Plates. These solutions allow users to maximize their efficiency in the shop by featuring quick-access functionality. They include different hook styles and sizes that are metal-reinforced to maintain their shape when loaded. A wide variety of tool racks and holders, including M18™ and M12™ battery racks, a compact shelf, organizer cup, tool rack, screwdriver rack, roll holder, tool station, long-handle tool rack, and two sizes of bins, provide users with endless customization options.  

In addition to those solutions, the PACKOUT™ Cabinet can securely be hung up on wall plates or stacked with other PACKOUT™ solutions. It has full modularity on the tool box's top, bottom, and back and features a quick-access door that allows users to store and access tools efficiently.

With more than 75 solutions for users to choose from to fully customize their storage across site, transit, and shop, PACKOUT™ is the most versatile and durable modular storage system in the industry.
