This Milwaukee Rolling Instrument Cupboard Tamed my Workshop Muddle

Do you know that Milwaukee gives a rolling metal storage cupboard? Technically it’s a facet locker for attaching to their metal device cupboard and chest combos, however you can even use it by itself.

Milwaukee advises that their rolling cupboard shouldn’t be freestanding; the cupboard comes with anchors for attaching it to a wall to forestall tip-over accidents.

I purchased two of those cupboards just a few months in the past, and appreciated them a lot that I ordered two extra.

They’re a bit dear, however completely match my wants.

The cupboard measures 63″ tall x 27.2″ vast x 22.1″ deep.

It may be hooked up to the left or proper of Milwaukee ball bearing metal storage merchandise, and comes with risers for making it appropriate with storage cupboards with 6-inch wheels.

That signifies that technically it’s a facet locker, however I’m hesitant to explain it as such. Most facet lockers solely include 2 casters and might’t be used standalone. This has 4 casters and can be utilized by itself with out having to mount it to a rolling device cupboard.

Inside, there are 5 cabinets, 4 of them adjustable, plus 3 door-mounted trays. A grommet within the again permits for energy wire pass-thru.

The 4 adjustable cabinets are mentioned to have a 150 lb load ranking.

I’ve additionally been placing issues on high.

There are taller cupboards on the market, however I used to be skeptical about high quality. I additionally appreciated the scale of the Milwaukee cupboard, which makes them – in my thoughts and expertise – extra transportable and with much less danger of tip-over.

It options 4 locking swivel casters for simpler mobility.

There are two variations of the cupboard – an older SKU, and the present one (48-22-8586P) that additionally comes with a magnetic energy strip.

A few of House Depot’s product photos present the cupboard holding Packout device bins and organizers. I don’t ever plan to make use of mine on this approach, however it appeared fascinating to level out. That looks like a helpful implementation for a device room or comparable, the place bins may must be individually grabbable behind a lockable door.

I looked for different metal cupboards earlier than I discovered these, however wasn’t utterly bought on any designs I discovered. I used to be bought on the Milwaukee as a result of they’re cellular, deeper, and shorter than industrial cupboards, and in lots of circumstances inexpensive.

I additionally belief Milwaukee construct high quality and House Depot’s capability to ship merchandise like this with out harm – and their customer support simply in case there’s a drawback with a freight order.

I like these higher than open cabinets, though I haven’t eliminated my wire shelving models but. I’ve been shifting them round as I arrange a number of areas, making good use of the swiveling casters.

The value appears a bit excessive to me, however I searched round and couldn’t discover something comparable for much less.

Would I’ve bought these for private use? In all probability not, or possibly only one. However for enterprise use, I’ve zero regrets.

House Depot has a Husky rolling facet locker that’s a lot taller and just a bit deeper, however its top can be an issue in my space for storing (which has a brief ceiling and obstructing soffit in locations). The added top additionally will increase the tip-over danger in an open workshop.

There are elements concerning the Milwaukee that I desire – akin to how the ability strip is magnetic and thus detachable.

There are different choices, however facet lockers and standalone metal storage cupboards aren’t cheap whatever the model.

To date, I’ve been proud of these.
