A. Storage and Mounting Systems For MB Special Tools

The heart of this tool storage and mounting system is the metal tool board which can be wall mounted, mounted to free-standing stationary steel racks and be mobile when mounted on wheeled steel racks.

Metal Tool Board

The patented tool board is a 2.0 mm (0.05") thick steel panel measuring 1000 mm X 1050 mm (39.4 X 41.3 inches) in size. The panels are punched with a repetitive key-hole pattern which serves as attachment points for a variety of tool holding elements. Each panel is epoxy-coated (MB grey) (Figure 1).

Note:
Size of Metal Tool Board is shown in centimeters, thus:

100cm 1000 mm
105cm = 1050 mm

Board Mounting clips

Two types of mounting clips are available depending on the final mounting configuration selected: wall mounting or rack mounting.

Tool Holders

A variety of sixteen special tool holders (e.g. hooks, clamps, baskets) are available to accommodate the attachment of all varieties of MB Special Tools.

Special self-locking nuts are provided to allow fastening of all available tool holders from the face of the tool board (requiring no access from the backside). This fastening method assures no damage to the coated surface of the board.

Metal Racks

Different metal frames are available which can be assembled to configure a wide variety of rack shapes and tool storage possibilities.

Configuration Possibilities

There are 7 different tool storage configurations offered, using the different metal frame elements.
