Milwaukee Packout Mounting Plates
Description
Secure and organize your Milwaukee Packout boxes, organizers, tool crates, and accessories with a purpose-built mounting plate from BOCO Custom. Laser-cut from premium materials in single (light-duty focus), dual, or triple widths, these ultra-low-profile plates deliver rock-solid, space-saving performance for garages, workshops, service vans, trailers, job sites, and marine setups. Forget flimsy official mounts or cheap alternatives—upgrade to American-made quality that locks in reliably and handles real abuse.
Why you’ll love it
- Precision fit: Engineered for exact, repeatable locking into Milwaukee Packout base units — secure engagement every time, plus compatibility with add-ons like hooks, roll holders, cup holders, and battery racks.
- Ultra-low profile: Only 0.5" height provides maximum clearance under tools — significantly more space than competitors or factory plates.
- Built to last: Light-Duty 14-gauge steel (up to 150 lbs, cost-effective everyday strength) or upgrade to Heavy-Duty 10-gauge steel (up to 300 lbs), Aluminum (1/8" / 11-gauge, lightweight & corrosion-resistant), or 304 Stainless (premium rust-proof, special request).
- Versatile options: Single/half-width for compact or accessory mounting; Dual/full-width for standard setups; Triple-wide for max capacity — raw steel or durable powder coat (textured black standard) to match your rig.

Installation notes
- Position plate on wall, plywood, metal surface, vehicle, or trailer at desired height/location and mark pre-drilled holes (16" spacing aligns with studs; 6" width for added stability).
- Use appropriate fasteners for your surface (lag screws into studs/plywood, heavy-duty anchors for drywall, self-tapping screws for metal/vans/trailers; 1/4" bolts recommended).
- Install level and secure tightly — slide/lock the Packout box or accessory into place and verify repeatable, rattle-free engagement.
- For multiple plates or stacked/wide setups, measure spacing based on your Packout footprint (single for compact, dual/triple for side-by-side).
- Raw steel? Apply rust protection or paint promptly if exposed to moisture/humidity (mild steel rusts quickly in damp areas); powder coat is ready for job-site, vehicle, marine, or outdoor use.
- Thicker gauges (10ga/11ga) suit high-load or horizontal installs; 14ga ideal for vertical/light-duty wall mounts.
Perfect for
Garages, workshops, service vans, trucks, enclosed trailers, job sites, marine/boat applications, and professional/DIY tool organization — mount single organizers on shop walls, dual boxes in vehicles to prevent shifting, or go triple-wide for maximum storage without wasting space.
Warranty & care
Powder-coated finish resists rust, chips, scratches, and fading for long-term durability in tough environments. Raw mild steel should be protected from moisture/humidity to prevent rust (store indoors or coat promptly). Aluminum and stainless options offer natural corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Free domestic shipping on all orders. Contact BOCO Custom for manufacturing warranty details, bulk orders, custom sizes/bends, or special requests (e.g., stainless upgrades).
Finish Types
Raw Steel: Ships as bare metal—affordable, no added finish cost, and quickest to produce/ship. Ideal if you plan to paint it yourself, weld it further, or want a custom look (e.g., intentional patina or rattle-can paint). Note: Mild steel rusts quickly when exposed to moisture/humidity—store indoors and apply protection soon if used outdoors or in damp garages. Great for budget builds or immediate DIY finishing.
Powder Coat: A baked-on, professional-grade finish (textured black standard). Much tougher than regular paint—resists chips, scratches, fading, and rust far better. Provides excellent protection for job-site, vehicle, or outdoor use (like tool mounts in vans or garages). Adds a small upcharge but delivers a premium, long-lasting look with minimal maintenance. Powder coat also helps hardware stay functional longer by reducing wear.
Metal Thickness
How do I choose the right gauge for my project?
- Choose thicker gauges (10 or 11) for heavy-duty strength, structural parts, or high-load applications. Example: Using the plate on a horizontal application such floor or dolly.
- Choose thinner gauges (14) for lighter-weight parts, panels, or where cost matters more. Ideal for vertical applications suck as wall or bedside mount.
Why does gauge go backward (lower number = thicker)?
The gauge system originated from the number of draws needed to produce wire/sheet of that thickness. Fewer draws = thicker material = lower gauge number.
