Tool Box Stacks

About Tool Box Stacks

Tool box stacks are modular storage systems that allow tradespeople and professionals to create customised, portable workshops tailored to their specific needs. These interlocking storage units connect securely to form stackable towers, combining multiple cases, organisers, and tool boxes into a single, easy-to-transport system. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks leading stackable systems including DeWalt Tough System and TSTAK, Makita MakPac Connector cases, Stanley FatMax, and Milwaukee Packout solutions, offering flexibility for everyone from mobile mechanics to site carpenters.

Unlike traditional tool boxes, stackable systems provide the versatility to expand your storage as your tool collection grows. Whether you need shallow organisers for fixings and consumables or deep cases for power tools, each component clicks together securely whilst remaining individually accessible. Many systems include wheeled trolleys or carts, transforming your stack into a mobile workshop that's perfect for contractors working across multiple sites or professional tradespeople who demand organised, efficient tool transportation.

Applications

Tool box stacks are essential for a wide range of trades and applications:

• Carpenters and joiners transporting hand tools, power tools, fixings and measuring equipment between job sites
• Electricians organising cable accessories, testing equipment, and 240v power tools in separate stackable units
• Plumbers and heating engineers keeping pipework tools, fittings and equipment systematically organised
• Mobile mechanics and vehicle technicians requiring portable workshops with quick access to multiple tool sets
• General builders and contractors managing tools across residential and commercial projects
• Maintenance engineers in industrial and facilities management requiring organised, transportable tool kits
• DIY enthusiasts seeking professional-grade storage that grows with their tool collection

Choosing The Right Tool Box Stacks

When selecting a tool box stack system at MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:

Brand compatibility: Tool box stacks are typically brand-specific systems. Ensure you choose cases from the same range (DeWalt Tough System components won't connect with Makita MakPac units) to guarantee secure stacking and long-term expandability.

Capacity and configuration: Assess your storage needs carefully. Deeper cases suit bulky power tools whilst shallow organisers with removable dividers are ideal for screws, drill bits and small components. Multi-piece starter sets often provide better value than building gradually.

Mobility requirements: If you regularly move between sites, prioritise systems with wheeled trolleys or carts. Check wheel quality, handle comfort, and overall manoeuvrability, especially if navigating stairs or rough terrain.

Build quality and durability: Professional-grade stacks from Makita, DeWalt and Milwaukee feature reinforced corners, heavy-duty latches and weather-resistant seals. Consider IP-rated cases if working in harsh environments or storing sensitive equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix different brands of tool box stacks together?

No, stackable tool box systems are brand-specific and won't interconnect between manufacturers. DeWalt Tough System cases only connect with other Tough System units, whilst Makita MakPac components are exclusive to that system. Choose your preferred brand initially and expand within that range.

Are tool box stacks suitable for storing 240v power tools?

Yes, most professional tool box stack systems from brands stocked at MyToolShed.co.uk feature custom foam inserts or adjustable compartments specifically designed to protect cordless and 240v power tools during transportation. Many tradespeople use dedicated cases for individual tools within their stack.

How much weight can a typical tool box stack support?

Weight capacity varies by brand and model, but professional systems typically support 25-40kg per case when properly stacked. Always check manufacturer specifications and avoid overloading, particularly when using wheeled trolleys on uneven ground or stairs.
