Proto Mobile Storage

Proto Mobile Storage delivers the flexibility that today's trade professionals demand, combining maximum tool capacity with true job-site mobility. Built from 14, 16, and 18-gauge steel construction, this workstation handles serious abuse while the ball bearing track slides support up to 200 pounds per drawer (400 pounds for drawers equipped with dual slide sets). Heavy-duty locks with tubular keys secure your investment, while the recessed aluminum extruded drawer pulls provide ergonomic access that won't snag on clothing or equipment.

User friendly expertise has gone into the engineering of these mobile storage solutions with the incorporation of 100% full extension drawers that give you complete access to tools stored in the back, while adjustable detents ranging from 12 to 24 pounds pull force let you customize drawer operation based on contents and personal preference. Vinyl top and drawer liners protect both your tools and the cabinet surfaces from damage during heavy use. These mobile workstations eliminate the need to carry multiple tool bags between jobs, keeping tools and equipment organized and accessible in one mobile unit that's built to handle the constant movement and heavy loads on jobsites.
