WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• Corrosion Resistance: Premium aluminum naturally resists oxidation, making it the perfect choice for open truck beds, marine applications, or high-humidity job environments where raw steel would rust.
• 1/3 the Weight of Steel: Significantly reduces the structural load on your vehicle's shelving units, service doors, or mobile carts without sacrificing overall rigidity.
• Dual-Orientation Mounting: Fully configured to support both standard flat surfaces and low-profile vertical side-mounting schemes depending on your workflow.
• Tested & Verified: Production prototypes and tracking paths are rigorously checked on our own ShopSabre Plasma Table, Xtool P2 Laser, and Gweike M3 Ultra Laser to ensure exact tolerances.
• Instant Rattle-Free Fit: Laser-cut to exact specifications to guarantee a smooth, reliable "click-in" lock every single time you load your box.

USAGE NOTES

1. Position the plate at your desired mounting orientation (Standard flat or vertical side-mount layout).
2. Securely bolt down to your studs or frame using high-quality 1/4" hardware fasteners.
3. Slide your half-width storage boxes or organizers in to verify a secure click latch.

PRO TIP: Utilize the Side Mount configuration on vehicle partition walls or tool carts to keep your valuable benchtop workspace clear!

Built for Compact, Reliable Storage

The Milwaukee Packout mounting plate is designed for users who want a secure and efficient way to organize tools in tight spaces. Its half-width layout makes it a smart choice for vans, trucks, garages, workshops, and mobile job sites where every inch matters. Made from aluminum, it offers strong support without adding unnecessary bulk. The low-profile shape helps it fit neatly into your setup while still providing dependable mounting strength. If you need a clean, stable solution for keeping Packout gear in place, this plate delivers practical performance and long-lasting value.

Low-Profile Side Mount and Standard Mount Options

One of the main strengths of this Milwaukee Packout mounting plate is its flexible mounting design. It supports both low-profile side mounting and standard mounting, giving you more freedom to match your storage layout. This makes it easier to install in different positions depending on your space and workflow. Whether you are setting up a custom tool wall, organizing a service vehicle, or improving garage storage, the plate helps create a more professional and accessible system. The versatile mounting style also improves convenience, letting you build a setup that works the way you do.

Durable Aluminum Construction for Everyday Use

Durability is essential for any storage accessory used in demanding environments, and this plate is built with that in mind. The aluminum construction provides strong, dependable support for daily use while maintaining a lightweight feel. It resists wear and helps hold up in busy work settings where tools are moved often. The material also gives the plate a clean, modern look that fits well with organized Packout systems. For contractors, technicians, and DIY users, this means fewer concerns about stability and more confidence in long-term performance. It is a practical upgrade for serious tool storage.

Easy Organization for Mobile and Fixed Setups

This Milwaukee Packout mounting plate helps simplify organization by creating a dedicated spot for your Packout system. Instead of leaving tools loose or stacked in awkward positions, you can mount them securely and keep them ready for quick access. The half-width format works especially well when combined with other storage solutions, helping you make the most of limited space. It is a strong option for mobile setups in work vans and service trucks, but it is just as useful in a garage or shop. With better organization comes faster access, less clutter, and a more efficient workspace overall.

10-Gauge Steel (0.1345" | Thickness of Two Stacked Dimes)

• Best For: Heavy-duty commercial wall mounts, shop workbenches, and massive modular tool stacks.
• The Advantage: Extreme structural stiffness. This ultra-thick steel completely eliminates flexing, twisting, and tool rattling, making it the definitive choice for demanding daily job-site use.

12-Gauge Steel (0.1046" | Thickness of a Standard House Key)

• Best For: Mobile service vans, enclosed trailers, and standard shop organization layouts.
• The Advantage: The ultimate sweet spot between bulletproof strength and smart weight distribution. It handles constant over-the-road vibrations flawlessly without adding unnecessary bulk to your mobile rig.

14-Gauge Steel (0.0747" | Thickness of a Nickel)

• Best For: Handheld battery organizers, small tool holsters, and lightweight shelf accessories.
• The Advantage: High-tensile rigidity in a streamlined profile. It provides a rock-solid, permanent mount for smaller gear while keeping your workspace layout clean and low-profile.

8-Gauge Aluminum (0.1285" | Heavy-Duty Marine Grade)

• Best For: Open truck beds, roof racks, exterior trailer sides, and high-moisture environments.
• The Advantage: Maximum corrosion resistance with severe weight savings. Shaved pounds keep your mobile fuel efficiency optimized while remaining completely immune to rain, snow, and road salt oxidation.

10-Gauge Stainless Steel (0.1345" | Thickness of Two Stacked Dimes)

• Best For: Premium exposed truck bed brackets, marine applications, high-end shop builds, and ultimate weather protection.
• The Advantage: Combines the absolute, unyielding structural rigidity of our thickest 10-gauge plate with total lifetime corrosion resistance. It requires no paint or powder coat to stay 100% immune to rust, road salt, and harsh outdoor elements.

Note: Sheet metal gauge numbers run inversely—the lower the gauge number, the thicker and more rigid the actual metal substrate is.

We fabricate our mounting solutions and accessories using commercial-grade materials built for harsh environments. Choose the right finish for your build and review our care recommendations below:

Powder Coat Finish

• What it is: An industrial-grade, chip-resistant finish applied over media-blasted metal. Ready to install out of the box and engineered to survive heavy daily tool friction.
• Care: Low maintenance. Wipe down occasionally with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or workspace grime. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads that could scratch the protective coating.

Raw Steel (Uncoated)

• What it is: Shipped as premium raw American steel that has been completely precision laser-cut, sanded, and deburred. Perfect for fabrication shops or DIYers who want to weld the brackets directly to a rig or custom paint them.
• Care: Requires immediate protection. Apply a clear coat or paint immediately after receiving to prevent surface oxidation (rust). Once coated, maintain with occasional wipe-downs using a dry cloth.

Painted Finish

• What it is: A clean, cost-effective protective coating applied in-house. Perfect for everyday indoor workspace use or setups that won't see extreme, heavy-duty metal-on-metal abrasion.
• Care: Moderate maintenance. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical solvents, degreasers, or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can wear down or dull the paint over time. Minor touch-ups can easily be done with standard matching automotive or metal spray paint if scratched.

Aluminum (Uncoated)

• What it is: Premium, lightweight raw American aluminum that has been precision laser-cut and deburred. It offers excellent natural corrosion resistance without adding unnecessary weight to your mobile rig or vehicle setup.
• Care: Low maintenance. While it won't rust like raw steel, uncoated aluminum will naturally develop a dull patina over time when exposed to the elements. To maintain its bright, metallic shine, occasionally clean it with a dedicated aluminum cleaner or a light scotch-brite pad.

304 Stainless Steel

• What it is: Premium marine-grade stainless steel that is 100% rust-proof for life. Perfect for extreme outdoor environments, saltwater exposure, or applications where zero maintenance is required.
• Care: Virtually maintenance-free. Occasional rinses with fresh water in saltwater environments help maintain the pristine finish. No coating or paint needed—ever.
