The Universal Locking Packout Plate is a heavy-duty, keyed mounting base engineered to lock Milwaukee Packout organizer boxes in place—whether on trucks, vans, flat panels, shop walls, trailers, or other surfaces. It’s the ideal upgrade for adventure rigs, contractor trucks, or mobile tool setups where tool security, clean mounting, and theft prevention are priorities.
Because it’s a universal plate, it can be mounted in multiple orientations—front, right side, or left side—and works with both full-size and half-size Packout boxes, giving you flexibility in how and where you lock in your gear.
Key Features & Construction
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 11-gauge laser-cut steel with dual powder coating | Rugged construction holds up to harsh environments: road grit, mud, water, dust, and jobsite abuse. |
| Integrated locking cam bar with keyed lock | Locks Packout boxes securely in place—once engaged, boxes can't be removed from the plate without unlocking. |
| Universal mounting flange design | Can be securely mounted to truck beds, van walls, camper interiors, shop walls, trailers, MOLLE panels, and more—even surfaces without pre-cut mounting points. |
| Self-tapping screws, washers, and included keys | Easy setup—mounting hardware and lock keys are included so installation is straightforward and ready out of the box. |
| Optional E-Track slot integration | Built-in E-track slots on the sides allow additional tie-down straps or cargo anchors—helpful for securing larger items or adding redundancy. |
Overlanding & Trade Use Cases
Overlanding / Adventure Rigs
- Lock in Packout boxes full of recovery gear, camp supplies, spare parts, kitchen kits, or lighting setups—eliminating the chance of gear bouncing out or sliding during trail travel.
- Use mounted Packout boxes as a deployable, locked “camp wall” that holds gear upright and ready—speeding up camp setup or late-night repairs without rummaging through cargo piles.
- Because the plate can be mounted to camper shells or trailers, it’s a flexible way to organize and secure gear in multiple environments—your truck bed, trailer, or camper kitchen.
- The keyed locking plate adds a layer of theft prevention when parked at trailheads or campsites—keeping your Packout boxes from being easily grabbed when unattended.
Contractors, Tradespeople & Mobile Tool Use
- Contractors, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and field technicians can mount Packout organizers behind the cab, in vans, or on trailer walls—and lock their tools in place for secure transport between jobs.
- Mounted Packout boxes stay firmly attached, reducing the risk of tool loss, box theft, or gear damage during transit or on-site stops.
- The locking plate ensures that expensive tool kits or fastener trays are secured when you’re offloading materials or stepping away at jobs, giving you peace of mind and tool security.
- The universal design allows mounting the plate wherever it works best—on truck beds, trailer tails, service van walls, or jobsite gear panels—making it adaptable for different work setups.
Installation & Mounting Tips
- Choose your preferred orientation: front, right side, or left side—based on where you want the Packout box to sit or where the lock will be accessible.
- Mount the plate to a flat surface using the supplied self-tapping screws and washers. Ensure the plate is flush and stable before locking in a Packout box.
- Attach your full-size or half-size Milwaukee Packout organizer to the plate. Close the cam locking bar and use the provided key to lock it in place. Ensure the box is securely locked before transit.
- Test the lock and release mechanism once installed to ensure it functions smoothly. It’s a good idea to verify that your Packout box can lock and unlock easily in your install location, especially if it’s mounted in tight or hard-to-reach locations.
- In mobile setups—trailers, vans, or campers—confirm that the plate won’t interfere with other panels, gear, doors, or load movements. Adjust placement or orientation if needed to ensure clearance.
- Periodically test the lock and mounting hardware to make sure everything remains secure—especially in dusty, muddy, or high-vibration environments (trail driving or worksite transport).
