Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the PACKOUT Large Wall Plate and the standard PACKOUT Wall Plate?
The Large Wall Plate (48-22-8497) is Milwaukee’s bigger wall mounting option at 30.75" W × 20" H, designed to support more PACKOUT units per plate and span a larger section of wall per installation. The standard Wall Plate is smaller and suited for tighter spaces or single-unit mounting. If you’re building out a full shop wall storage system with multiple PACKOUT tool boxes and organizers, the Large Wall Plate covers more area per mount point and reduces the number of individual plates needed. Choose the standard plate for focused single-zone storage or vehicle mounting where space is limited.

What hardware is needed to install the wall plate, and what surfaces can it be mounted to?
The PACKOUT Large Wall Plate is designed to be fastened directly to wall studs or a solid backing surface using screws (not included). For the full 150 lb weight capacity rating, Milwaukee recommends mounting into wood studs or equivalent structural backing at the recommended fastener spacing. Mounting into drywall alone without stud backing will not achieve the rated capacity and is not recommended for heavy PACKOUT loads. The plate can also be mounted to metal surfaces in service vehicles using appropriate fasteners for the vehicle’s floor or wall material.

Can multiple large wall plates be installed side by side to create a larger wall system?
Yes — this is the intended use case. The quick-alignment tabs are specifically designed to simplify aligning and installing multiple wall plates in rows and columns to build a continuous wall storage grid. Each plate is rated independently at 150 lb (shop), so a two-plate installation supports up to 300 lb of PACKOUT components. The PACKOUT interface is consistent across all plates, so components can be placed across any plate in the grid without restriction.

Does the 75 lb vehicle rating apply to driving conditions or only stationary vehicle storage?
The 75 lb rating for vehicle mounting accounts for the dynamic loads of vehicle movement — acceleration, braking, cornering, and road vibration — which impose forces on the mounted components beyond their static weight. This rating applies to driving conditions. Exceeding the 75 lb vehicle rating risks the wall plate detaching from the mounting surface or the PACKOUT components breaking loose during transit, which creates a serious safety hazard. Distribute heavy PACKOUT loads across multiple vehicle-mounted wall plates to stay within the per-plate rating.
