The Professional Standard for Milwaukee Packout Mounting
Upgrade your organization with the BOCO Custom Packout Mounting System. While factory mounts rely on plastic, our plates are precision laser-cut from American steel and aluminum. Engineered for high-vibration environments like service vans and truck beds, these plates provide a rock-solid foundation that meets or exceeds all OEM load standards.

Material & Load Capacity Guide
Load capacity is determined by both mounting orientation and metal thickness. For the most secure installation, choose the gauge that fits your application:
-
14-Gauge Steel (Light Duty): Matches standard Milwaukee load ratings. Optimized for vertical wall mounting and organizing hand tools in shops.
-
10-Gauge Steel (Heavy Duty): The professional choice for van floors, truck beds, and heavy power tool stacks. Offers significantly higher static load capacity.
-
Aluminum: Best for weight-sensitive builds
-
Stainless Steel: Best for marine environments where corrosion resistance is priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do these compare to Milwaukee factory plates?
Standard plastic plates (like the 48-22-8485) can flex or strip out over time. Our BOCO Custom Steel Mounts provide a lower profile and much higher structural rigidity for high-use professional environments.
Can I mount this in a service van or truck bed?
Yes. These plates are engineered for multi-orientation use. We recommend 10-gauge steel for floor mounts in moving vehicles to handle dynamic loads and constant road vibrations.
*Capacity is dependent on mounting hardware and substrate (studs, plywood, or metal). Always secure to structural members for maximum safety.

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.
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 (officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law that requires businesses to provide a warning to California consumers if their products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
These warnings are required even if the chemical is present in incredibly low amounts that may not pose any significant risk to your health.
California Proposition 65 Warning
⚠️ WARNING: Products sold on this website can expose you to chemicals including lead, nickel, chromium, or other phthalates, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Why is this warning on my order?
Because BOCO Custom LLC ships products nationwide, we include this warning to ensure full compliance with California law. A Proposition 65 warning does not mean a product is unsafe or defective; it simply means the product contains a trace amount of a regulated substance. We prioritize the safety of our customers and provide this information so you can make informed purchasing decisions.
