Milwaukee Work Place & Mobile Work Storage Solutions

Find out about the newest Milwaukee work place tool storage solutions. Mobile Storage to fit any shop or garage. A workbench needs to fit your needs and handle heavy jobs. But, have you ever wanted your workbench to move as well?

  • Milwaukee Tool is giving you that option with its two new steel storage solutions.

These workbenches come in different variations, so you can choose the best one to fit your work and your space. These benches come in either two sizes, 40” or 56”. You are giving you the option to pick the one that fits your space. Made from heavy-duty 18-gauge steel and a reinforced frame, the bench can handle hefty jobs with no problem.

  • Depending on which, you can customize your bench further to fit your needs.

40” Mobile Work Bench

With the Milwaukee Work Place 40” Mobile Work Bench, you can choose between a wood top (48-22-8539) or a stainless steel top (48-22-8540). Selecting the style you want and a surface perfect for your work, as well as the option to add more utility to maximize your bench is essential. With a bolt-on utility shelf, you can extend your storage area for things you need after a job—tool organizers to keep the drawers neat and clutter-free. Finally, there is built-in access power for instant access to energy.



You get easy access to power and can quickly move this bench around the shop. Thanks to its 5” industrial casters, it can handle the workspace and not cave under the weight, allowing for smooth movement around your workshop no matter the weight. With a weight capacity of 1,800 lbs., it can handle most projects with no problem and hold the bulkiest tools and supplies.



A big problem with heavy items in drawers is the loud noise you make when you close them. With the mobile workbench, you will no longer have to worry about that issue. All six drawers, including the larger bottom one, have a 100 lb. soft close feature, meaning that anything 100 lbs. or under in your drawer will close softly without the noise. An excellent feature is if your workshop is in your home’s garage, and you do not want to wake anyone inside.

56” High Capacity Steel Storage Cabinet & Chest

Then the 56” High Capacity Steel Storage Cabinet & Chest, you have the option to get either the chest and cabinet (48-22-8558 & 48-22-8557) or just the cabinet itself (48-22-8456). So, whether you need tabletop space or security for your tools, the choice is yours.

Chest

Similar in many ways to its 40” model, there are a few differences between them that you should note. The chest, for instance, features an electronic lock for secure storage; that way, a key is no longer required. It saves time looking for the key to lock up or open the chest.



Cabinet

Another significant difference is the number of drawers in the 56” cabinet, which has eighteen drawers. Each drawer also includes a soft close slide but is rated for 150 lbs. Storing heavier or more tools in the drawer without worrying about loud slamming, and with two large bottom drawers, you can save a lot of counter space while keeping your shop organized. Weight capacity of 3,000 lbs. with 6” caster wheels, you can load this with your bulkiest tools and supplies and move it around your shop in one go. You are saving the time of shifting everything one at a time and the strain on your back.

The drawers are not the only feature included in maximizing your productivity. To help utilize the entire cabinet space, Milwaukee Tool has incorporated tool holders, a folding utility shelf, and a built-in power center with USB ports. Having a place designated to hold your tools helps minimize the clutter of your search time for the item and optimizes your work. Along with the folding utility shelf, you can fold it out when needed and store it when done. Finally, with a built-in power center cabinet, you can charge your batteries or power your tools without extension cables. And still have a place to charge your phone while you are working.

Who Could Use This?

Regardless of trade, the cabinet or the workbench would be welcomed where extensive tools and workspace are needed. On the bench, you have a work area where you can work on big to small projects. This is, of course, with all your items in arm’s reach. The cabinet and the chest are ideal for a professional shop that needs lots of space, power in one area, and a place to secure its tools after a grueling day.

Anyone who uses tools and needs a workspace that will not take up too much space would appreciate either of the two storage solutions. Please keep your eyes on this item as it will soon be available in January 2019.

      Hi Bill, Thanks for your question. The Milwaukee 48-22-8456 should retail for $1499.00 and it should have been released in January of 2019 but Milwaukee is a little behind in getting these to their distributors. At this time they have not given us a firm arrival date.

      Thank you,
      Acme Tools

      Hi Rick. Thank you for your question. At this time Acme Tools does not ship directly into Canada and we are not stocking the 48-22-8540 or 48-22-8539 tool chests.
      Thank you, Acme Tools
