PACKOUT™ Storage for battery-powered outdoor equipment

Cost-efficient and convenient with environmental and health & safety benefits, choosing battery-powered outdoor equipment is a no-brainer. Properly protecting cordless tools on the go and in Storage is key to ensuring lasting, powerful performance and preventing damage. Using MILWAUKEE® PACKOUT™ modular tool storage means Power Tools and Batteries are stored securely in all scenarios, in customisable configurations that save time and energy. Explore how to organise outdoor equipment efficiently with the MILWAUKEE® PACKOUT™ system.

Challenges with storing battery-powered outdoor equipment

MILWAUKEE® cordless Outdoor Power Equipment is powered by REDLITHIUM™ Battery packs, engineered for exceptional performance and durability even in extreme conditions. As with any lithium-ion Battery, careful Storage is required to maintain high levels of functionality.

Main risks to battery health

  • Climate: Extreme temperatures/high humidity can lead to degradation, lower charge capacity or permanent damage.

  • Weather: Prolonged exposure to rain and dirt or debris can cause long-term damage to Batteries and Power Tools.

  • Knocks: Even small knocks or short drops can damage the internal connections within lithium-ion Batteries, risking short circuiting and even fire.

  • Degradation: Storing Batteries at 100% or 0% charge can accelerate degradation and increase safety risks.

Difficulties of tool storage

  • Space: Separating your Power Tools and Batteries and finding suitable spaces for everything.

  • Transportation: Keeping Power Tools and Batteries secure and in a stable environment on the go.

  • Preservation: Maintaining appropriate levels of charge, especially for tools used infrequently.

  • Organisation: Having everything easily to hand for efficient working.

The modular system can be easily adapted as equipment needs change, streamlining the set-up for individual jobs to save time and effort. The PACKOUT™ Mounting Plate and Racking System can be fitted in vehicles or garages for versatility. For workshops and storage units PACKOUT™ Shop Storage is ideal for tools, Chargers and Batteries giving you off the ground and easy to access storage. 

 

Benefits of using PACKOUT™ modular tool Storage

Protecting tools

Professional Storage safeguards cordless outdoor equipment against physical damage from conditions like cold and condensation, helping to prolong tool lifespans and save the expense and hassle of buying replacements. Specialist Storage solutions within the system, like the PACKOUT™ Side Mount M18™ Battery Rack, support the safe transport and Storage of REDLITHIUM™ Battery packs, which should be isolated from tools when not in use to prevent parasitic discharge over time.

Improved workflow

The MILWAUKEE® PACKOUT™ system is designed for faster setup and pack-down when on site, reducing downtime to maximise productivity and profitability. Mobile Storage like the PACKOUT™ Rolling Tool Chest makes moving heavy or awkward outdoor equipment effortless. The option to fit racks within vehicles or on the job sites ensures easy access to tools, further optimising workflow.

Secure transportation

Reducing the risk of Batteries rattling around in the back of the van minimises the chance of safety hazards and helps ensure they power exceptional tool performance for longer. Dedicated system pieces like the PACKOUT™ M18 Battery Holder help defend against vehicle vibration. With MILWAUKEE® PACKOUT™ storage, it's also straightforward to keep Batteries apart, preventing short circuiting and thermal runaway.

 

How to configure the PACKOUT™ system

Carefully coordinating the components of the MILWAUKEE® PACKOUT™ system will help maximise and optimise outdoor equipment storage. Use the stack builder or wall storage builder tools to play around with system configuration and find the best selection.

When putting together modular storage systems, prioritise frequently used tools in the layout, ensuring these are easiest to access in any format. Consider all scenarios, from in-vehicle and warehouse storage to organisation when outside on site. It's important to future-proof storage needs too, allowing for investment in new equipment.
