What happens here

The foundation of the Packout racking system relies on securely mounting the vertical rails. These rails will dictate the entire structure, so precise installation is critical. Using your planned layout, mark the positions for the vertical rails on the walls of your van, garage, or workshop. Ensure that the mounting surface is robust enough to support the combined weight of the racking system and all your tools. Use a drill with appropriate drill bits to create pilot holes and then fasten the vertical rails using suitable fasteners for your specific surface material (e.g., self-tapping screws for metal van walls, lag screws for wooden studs, or concrete anchors for masonry walls). Always use a level to ensure the rails are perfectly plumb and aligned.

Goal: Securely install the vertical racking rails to form the structural framework for the horizontal shelves.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Drilling pilot holes and driving fasteners
  • Drill Bits — Creating pilot holes, selected based on fastener type and material
  • Fasteners — Securing the vertical rails to the mounting surface
  • Level — Ensuring the rails are installed perfectly plumb
  • Measuring Tape — Accurate placement of the rails
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during drilling and fastening
  • Work Gloves — Hand protection during assembly

design your layout how it needs to be. Then, you can also stack and expand these units, so you can go one, two, or three unit high like you see here at this end at this end unit, so that you can increase that storage density and really expand into the environment that you're working out of. >> So, what's new is you actually created the shelving system to integrate into the van, but this will also go in a garage or workshop and other applications? >> Yes, sir. You can put these in Conex Conex boxes, enclosed trailers, your garage or workshop. That way, you can
