Another great video.I modified a hand truck to get my Dewalt boxes around.I use an aluminum folding ramp to get mine into van .It sits right on bumper then I just fold it in half and I have it store on back door of my van works great.A real back saver and also very easy to get in and out of van without having to step up into (for those of us getting older).

If Milwaukee makes a PACKOUT rollout case with one big sliding drawer it is going to sell like crazy. Nothing worse than stacking all your PACKOUT boxes and then needing to get something from the bottom of the stack

Drives me nuts. Then you put it all back together, realize you need something that you thought was in the top box but then you remember you threw it in the bottom box the day before when you were in a hurry to roll up and get the hell out of there, so now you got to take them all down again and then you just look like some kind of OCD idiot to everybody else lol

You should make yourself a little ramp that locks onto your bumper or some kind of magnet that temporarily holds the ramp so you can load and unload any rolling carts from your van. I did something like it and it worked a lot better than I thought it would, as the boxes were kind of heavy to pick up, and at the end of the day or at the end of a job anything easier is always better. From one wood butcher to another a little joke for you, I once saw a carpenter throw a long, pointed tool into another long pointed tool… awl in awl, it was a cool experience.

Thanks for this video!!! I was strapping the packout stack in my trucks backseat. So I have to unpack it everytime I want something in a lower box. I bought a 3 drawer and a 2 drawer with a base unit. I am going to try using 1/2" plywood for all layers of the dolly just to keep it lighter and lower. I bought 3" wheels (200# each) so I will never overload those. I only use a hand truck to get it to my truck. The dolly will be great in the garage. I can remove the wheels easily when stacking them in the truck. This is such a great improvement! Thanks again for a great idea!

This and the last video I watched of yours confirmed what I have already been thinking about the Packout Drawer stacks. I have all lid stacks and it sucks because to get at anything, you have to remove every box to get at anything that isn't on the top. I will be changing over to the drawers as cashflow allows. This would also allow me to keep the drawer stacks in the shop, and then move them into my trailer when I need to get to a jobsite. Love it. Keep up the good videos. I really enjoy your content!

I’ve been brainstorming over this same subject for the past 4 months. I really liked the fact that Milwaukee came out with the drawer idea. My hang up was the big box (the rolling one). I do use that box for bulky items. Just received the notice this past week that an “xl box” had been brought out. Now we’re talking. My dolly that I use for numerous things, drawers for the small, frequently grabbed items (bits,blades, etc), big box for the bulky stuff. I think I can pack it all up and only have to shuffle two boxes. Game changer for sure. My only change is probably going to be to leave the wheels off the dolly part. Or if adding the wheels, leave the slot out entirely. The space between the wheels should be enough for the dolly. I do see the reason you did it your way

Pretty cool! I might copy and tweak your idea, i have 2 packout mounting plates already. Concerns i have are with stability. I think the packout is wider to get the wheels to the corners for stability. The other thing i would do for sure, is 3-4" non marring (grey rubber) rolling casters, 2 of them being locking casters (front 2).

I'm sure you can figure something out. A (D) ring handle on a hand truck is the ticket, 1000 times better than a horizontal handle. If you could find an EX beer hand truck with an extension you would encrease productivity, and not screw your back up. You have a good channel. Not a bunch of B/S just to the point.

Maybe consider a aluminum ramp/ramps which would either hook or hinge just inside the rear doors. That way you would not have to pull heavy pack out boxes over the bumper.

Or add flared rails on the back on the hand truck so as you’re pulling up, it’s also pushing the hand truck and wheels away from the bumper. Glue some hard plastic around the flared rails to save from scratching the hell out of your bumper. Simple! Triangle shaped rails is even better than flared now that I think about it.

Great system you have! I wish these Packouts were a bit cheaper. I’m not a contractor but a homeowner/DYI person and while I have a workbench in my garage, like so many folks living in a tract-home the garage is basically our storage area (can’t even fit a car inside!). So I’m usually doing projects out in the backyard and carting numerous tools out there (and then back into the garage at night during times when it may get damp outside, even in So. California). So these would be perfect as a mobile workshop to hold my most commonly used power tools, drill bits, etc. that I could just wheel outside for the day (and really they would be fairly protected overnight unless it rained). They would also be a great option for teachers that have to bring out supplies for the kids each day then store them away at the end of the day. (Yes my wife is a teacher....)

I don't have my van set up for stacks like you do (lot's of E & X track). I filled the spaces between the ribs with some machined scrap wood flooring (treasures I finally had a good use for), then laid a stall mat (4x8x 3/4" rubber mat) down. Works well, wheels don't hang up on it. Used, so not as strong smelling. If you watch out (or order them), you can get them in other sizes and thicknesses. Most are not quite 3/4", and few are in stock as 8' (usually 4x6ish). Check if you buy them and get them from the same stack (2 sides, some have texture on one side, and some are supposed to not absorb moisture). Heavy, grab a pair of Vise Grips to move them. No easy way to cut them, just a sharp utility knife. 1/4" minimum thickness and carts roll over them fine (on the shop floor).

I have a hand truck (foldable made by the same company as the boxes) that I only use now on long flat carriers for my stackable tool boxes but I find that the stack is just too heavy to go up and down stairs. Usually now I just grab a group of 2 or 3 boxes from the top in each hand and carry them in to the job. This is where I think Milwaukee falls short on their design....no top handle. How do you carry all those boxes up and down stairs? Very rare that there are not at least a few stairs on a job.
