Description

Milwaukee® 48-22-8438 PACKOUT™ Low-Profile Crate

Compact Storage Flexibility. Full 50 lb. Weight Capacity. Effortless Tool-Free Layout Customization.

The Milwaukee 48-22-8438 PACKOUT Low-Profile Crate drops ultra-responsive organization, instant tool access, and uncompromised structural toughness directly into your service van setup or warehouse shelves. Purpose-built to eliminate the clunky deep bins, wasted vertical space, and unorganized part migration common with oversized storage setups, this low-profile modular utility bin optimizes your layout. It arms commercial contractors, residential installers, maintenance crews, and mechanics with a shallow open-top base optimized to keep hand tools, electrical fittings, fasteners, plumbing couplings, and PPE items organized.

Advanced interior customization and complete layout freedom form the mechanical backbone of this elite PACKOUT Low-Profile Basket. Molded using heavy-duty, impact-resistant jobsite polymers, the frame holds an impressive 50 lb cargo weight capacity without bowing under stress. Its core configuration benefit centers on a comprehensive 11-piece quick-adjust divider system consisting of short, long, and center dividers, allowing users to partition specialized compartments for different assignments instantly. It features comfortable integrated side handles for balanced transport, while bottom-molded weep drainage holes ensure external moisture leaks out safely.

Why the Milwaukee 48-22-8438 Controls Your Mobile Inventory Staging:

  • Space-Saving Low Profile Design: Shorter 6.6-inch clearance height fits easily into compact truck beds, tight shelving tiers, and multi-tier rolling stacks.
  • Tool-Free Quick-Adjust Dividers: Ships fully loaded with 11 drop-in dividers to arrange personalized nested sections for fittings and accessories.
  • Heavy-Duty 50 lb Cargo Limit: Robust structural polypropylene framework carries heavy hardware, hand tools, and brass components securely.
  • Full Stack-and-Connect Integration: Upper edge features full-size footprints to stack both compact and standard PACKOUT boxes directly on top.
  • Integrated Jobsite Drainage Holes: Precision floor weep ports allow moisture to drain out automatically to protect tools if caught in a rainstorm

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How does this Low-Profile Crate (48-22-8438) compare to the standard full-size PACKOUT Crate (48-22-8440)?
The PACKOUT Low-Profile Crate features a shorter, shallower build optimized for smaller tools and components. While both units share an identical 50 lb weight capacity and the same footprint width, the standard 48-22-8440 crate stands roughly 11 inches tall and is completely open inside. The Low-Profile version stands at just 6.625 inches tall and includes a comprehensive 11-piece quick-adjust divider system to partition the interior into small, organized sub-bins.
+ Can you safely stack other full-size PACKOUT toolboxes on top of this open crate?
Yes, other PACKOUT components lock directly onto its top rim. The upper structural flange is engineered with full-size interlocking tracks. This allows you to stack full-width toolboxes, organizers, or compact parts bins directly on top of the crate. Keep in mind that because this crate has an open-top layout, stacking an item on top will block top access to your items until you unlatch the upper box.
+ Are the included interior dividers removable, or are they fixed permanently inside?
The divider system is 100% removable and tool-free. The crate ships with a full complement of 11 dividers (8 short, 2 long, 1 center). You can slide them in or out of the molded interior tracks in seconds. This allows you to customize your box layout for specific tasks, create small compartments for screws and fittings, or pull them all out to clear a wide, open shallow space for larger hand tools.
+ Is this low-profile storage box weather-sealed against heavy rain?
No, this is an open-top crate and does not include an IP65 moisture seal. Because it features an open design without a lid, it will not protect your gear from outdoor elements. However, it is built with integrated floor weep drainage holes. If the crate is exposed to rain on a jobsite or in the back of a truck, water drains straight through the bottom instead of pooling inside and causing your tools to rust.
