MakTrak Storage System: Perfect Organisation for Makita Tools & Accessories
In the world of professional tools and accessories, Makita has long been a trusted name. But with the launch of the MakTrak Modular Storage System, the brand has taken a bold leap forward, redefining what modular storage can be for contractors, tradespeople, and serious DIYers.
What is MakTrak?
MakTrak is Makita’s answer to the growing demand for rugged, customisable, and jobsite-ready modular storage. Designed with input from professional contractors and built in the USA using global materials, MakTrak is engineered around four core principles:
- Organise – customise your own configuration.
- Access – open any box without needing to unstack.
- Store – space for larger tools and accessories.
- Transport – easy and efficient loading and unloading.
Key Features That Set MakTrak Apart
-
Horizontal Design for Maximum Accessibility
Unlike traditional vertical stacking systems, MakTrak uses a horizontal layout. This allows users to access any box in the stack without unstacking, thanks to dual-hinged lids that open from either side. This is a game-changer for truck bed loading and unloading, especially when working solo.
-
Rugged Build Quality
MakTrak boxes are constructed from heavy-duty reinforced resin, making them dust and water-resistant. Large padlock-compatible eyelets, ergonomic comfort grip handles and oversized latches ensure durability and ease of use, even with gloves on!
-
Smart Transport Solutions
The Rolling Tool Chest features 9” all-terrain wheels and a retractable handle designed for easy truck bed loading. The horizontal footprint means it fits under tonneau covers while still allowing full access to tools.
-
Customisable Organisation
MakTrak includes panel dividers, nested bins, battery and charger trays, and lid mounting points for accessories. This allows users to tailor their setup to specific tasks or tool types, making it ideal for everything from carpentry to landscaping.
MakTrak Lineup Overview
Here’s a quick look at the Makita MakTrak range:

Real-World Performance
Contractors testing the MakTrak system praised its ruggedness, ease of access, and thoughtful design. Features like a hidden security tracker slot, a brace bar to prevent the lid from slamming, and safety wires to control lid movement show Makita’s meticulous attention to detail.
Is It Worth the Investment?
Makita MakTrak is priced at the premium end of the market, due to its robust build quality. In a congested modular storage market that features Milwaukee Packout, Toughbuilt StackTech and DeWalt ToughSystem – to name just a few, Makita MakTrak is a credible alternative that will certainly appeal to Makita power tool users to store, organise and transport their equipment.

Whether you’re a contractor needing jobsite efficiency or a serious DIYer looking for a robust solution, Makita MakTrak delivers on all fronts: durability, accessibility and customisation.
