The Ultimate Australian-Made StackDrawer System for Milwaukee Packout Users

Built for tradies, workshops, and mobile professionals who want a stronger, smarter way to access their tools.

1. What is the Lawson StackDrawer™ System?

The Lawson StackDrawer™ System is a heavy-duty, Australian-made drawer system designed to integrate seamlessly with Milwaukee Packout modules and other tool storage setups.

Each StackDrawer delivers instant access to your tools without the need to unstack boxes or waste time searching through gear. It’s engineered for workshop, ute, and van applications, giving you the same organised workflow wherever you are.

Made in South Australia using precision CNC manufacturing, these drawers are built to take the punishment of daily trade use while keeping your Packout gear secure and easily accessible.

2. Why choose an Australian-made StackDrawer system?

  • Strength you can rely on – Constructed from durable structural plywood with stainless bearing runners.

  • Custom-fit design – Purpose-built for the Packout footprint, giving a tight, secure fit in any setup.

  • Fast, direct access – Slide-out drawers mean no more unstacking or shifting gear to get to what you need.

  • Modular flexibility – Works in a van, a ute canopy, or as a permanent fixture in your workshop.

  • Made locally, supported locally – Designed, built, and supported right here in Australia.

Lawson StackDrawers aren’t just another imported product — they’re built for Australian tradies who expect gear to perform in harsh conditions day in, day out.

3. How does it work with Milwaukee Packout?

Our StackDrawer modules are Packout-compatible platforms that accept Milwaukee lock-down plates or organisers, so your existing tool boxes and modules fit securely on top.

This means you can build out your Packout stack as usual — but instead of having to lift and unstack every time, you simply pull out a heavy-duty drawer and get on with the job.

It’s the perfect upgrade for anyone using Milwaukee Packout gear in:

  • Vans and utes

  • Mobile service vehicles

  • Workshop benches and shelving systems

  • Trade trailers or site boxes

4. Can I install StackDrawers in my workshop or van?

Absolutely. The StackDrawer is designed for flexibility. You can:

  • Mount directly into a workbench or tool wall for workshop setups.

  • Secure inside ute canopies or service vans for mobile use.

  • Combine multiple StackDrawers for a custom storage wall.

Each module can be bolted down, carpet-lined, and fitted out with optional Packout mounting plates or your own accessories.

The system has been tested across electricians, plumbers, auto techs, and mobile mechanics — and it performs equally well in a fixed or mobile workspace.

5. What makes the Lawson StackDrawer™ different?

Lawson StackDrawer™ vs Typical Imported Drawer Systems

Build Origin:
Australian-made in South Australia.
Most imported systems are mass-produced overseas with limited local support.

Materials:
Constructed from structural plywood with stainless bearing runners.
Typical imports rely on plastic or thin alloy components that don’t last under trade use.

Compatibility:
Designed to work with Milwaukee Packout and other tool storage systems.
Most imported drawers are single-brand or non-modular.

Access:
Full slide-out drawers — no unstacking or lifting required.
Imported systems are often fixed boxes or lift-off only.

Repairability:
Locally supported with replaceable parts and service options.
Imported systems are usually non-serviceable.

Applications:
Equally suited to vehicles and workshops.
Many imported drawers are built for vehicle use only.

Summary:
The Lawson StackDrawer™ isn’t a copy of a Packout drawer — it’s a next-generation access system built by tradies, for tradies.
