- The new Makita MAKTRAK™ is the Next Generation in Modular Storage Systems™. MAKTRAK is designed, engineered and made in the U.S.A. with global materials and built on four core functions: Transportation, Access, Storage and Organization. Each function is backed by unique design and engineering that makes MAKTRAK™ the most advanced system on the market. The new MAKTRAK system redefines the category with a unique design that enables easier access, superior loading and unloading into a truck bed, and more.
There are additional features that are unique to the category. MAKTRAK™ gives users the ability to open storage boxes and get tools and accessories without unstacking. The dual-hinging lids allow access from both sides, and the innovative horizontal design means the handle won’t get in the way.
In addition, the horizontal design yields more storage space meaning that MAKTRAK™ can accommodate larger tools like nailers, saws and rotary hammers. At the same time, the shallow depth allows improved accessibility.
The MAKTRAK™ launch is backed by an interactive web page that allows users to select and stack MAKTRAK™ elements on-screen, then view their selection in a 3-dimensional view application and download a PDF of their configuration. They can also share their MAKTRAK™ configuration with friends via email or on their Facebook and Twitter pages. Users can also search for a Makita Authorized Dealer. The page can be found at makitatools.com/MAKTRAK
Makita designed and engineered a horizontal-first design-based modular storage system that addresses common challenges and brings to market a product range that is a transformative solution which creates tremendous user value. Researched, designed, engineered, and manufactured in the U.S.A., MAKTRAK is the next generation in modular storage.
I love the innovation! Makita all day!!!
These need to be sold at “Big Box Retail Stores”
Makita needs to increase its presence and availability in the USA
And 🇨🇦 🍁
@@petereggert2019 i absolutely agree.
It lists Home Depot and ACME for you guys in the 48 on their site, how much MSRP is another store
Seems like an oversight not to have some kind of weather stripping around the edge of the lid. Love Makita, hopefully they keep offering more and new solutions to compete in the market!
@@Conrad44030 they do have the grey gasket type seals on the MAKPACK.. but only the refrigerator or the Makita cooler.
I want drawers Makita. Gonna stick with the MakPac until it comes out in the next updated system.
that'll be in 10 years most likely
Gut das noch niemand anderes so was vor 4 Jahren rausgebracht hat
As a Makita fan, this has not given me any reason to swap from pack out
The reason most other storage box brands go vertical is because it’ll allow you to fit more storage in a small footprint. I am also not a big fan of my tool box having to be tipped on edge to roll and everything sliding to the end. I love Makita tools and have 30k+ invested in their tools. That said they have fallen 5-10 years behind Milwaukee and other brands in their tool storage system, battery technology and tool options
Not even
I don't really get the Makita battery hate everyone in the US/Canada complain about, but everything else you've said I 100% agree with.
So when the top boxes are full and you open the bottom it's going to tip over.
Honestly, I think drawers are the way of the future.
This system involves a lot of bending over and lifting weight
I've been saying the same thing! It would be much more interesting if Makita had decided to come out with a 3 drawer box system as the main configuration. Have the bottom box be a single drawer like what Milwaukee is coming out with soon for bigger tools and the 2nd and 3rd boxes above be 2 and 3 drawers.
Yeah but the bigger tools don’t fit. It’s a cool idea
I, for one, am super excited. Ive needed setups for my larger tools for awhile, and packout hasnt been cutting it. My rolling toolbox holds all my extra chargers and i only have low profile organizers otherwise.
This system looks incredible though!
I wish i could trade in my Milwaukee stuff.
Any chance there will be wall plates in the future?
What about getting long tools to site, levels, brooms, conduit benders?
The good thing about going high is you can use the boxes as a work station. No drawers on release? At least toughbuilt released a drawer box on earlier release.
And track saw guide. I thought they going to have clip system where you can clip a level to the side too
@@antomac9529 exactly. Aws box?
Love it! Ill ditch my ridgid boxes if we can get this available in my local home depot.
This is a great summary of the functionality and innovation of these toolboxes. Outstanding job in presenting the info.
As a Makita tool fan & owner this entire system looks very appealing.
Where’s the drawers
Drawers are for sissies. Real men unload 130lbs of top boxes to reach the bottom one
Good point!
You don’t need them with their design. They might release as a v2 but I think their horizontal design is pretty sweet for holding bigger tools.
Won't be long
So let me guess it will be released in Australia in 2050 😂😂😂
Looks really good
i have all makita power tools, currently all my tools are in packout drawers stacked on dollys. i really want to switch to makita storage system but there is no way in hell i will be buying this system unless they come out with drawers. i dont want to lay my case over every time i want to use it i want to stack my drawers on top of each other and roll them around.
Sweet boxes. Gotta make some drawer editions
Will they be available to buy in store or just online. I was looking into getting the Klein but this is a game changer !!!
Klein have a nice system out right now, they have nice deep rolling drawer boxes that work as the base unit. Looks like people would get a hernia trying to cart this system around when it's full of tools. I'm not impressed with this at all. Makita had plenty of time to get input from their customers on what they wanted in tool storage but they refuse to listen to what we want
Looks great however I’m already heavily invested in the Milwaukee Packout System even though ALL of my cordless tools are Makita with the exception of 2 light duty cordless screwdrivers and a DC Soldering Station that runs on Makita LXTBattery.
How about a “Trade In Program” to help Loyal Makita Customers make the switch?
Yeah I use Festool systainers but it's a huge fail for this not to be Packout compatible in my opinion. They'd sell 10x more of these if they were Packout compatible in some way
@Makita Tools USA - I could not find precise inside dimensions for these boxes.
Would my GSH04Z saw fit in the Extra Large Extension Toolbox?
Thank you for your reply in advance!
As a man with a work van im very excited to replace my Milwaukee roller with this!! When does it come to Canada? Or can yall hook me up?
I love it 😍. I can’t wait to get all of them ❤
I really like the Makita brand, it's very good. I have a vacuum and those organizers are divine.❤😊
I am already sold but put wheels and a vertical handle on the deep storage box while keeping the cleat, make drawers models and lights/chargers/radio units on the next releases 🙏
So where do I get this? I don’t see it in the big 3 of the hardware stores
Love that it's Made in the USA!
Some cool features, but definitely going to stick with Stacktech. LOVE my Stacktech
Of course im currently in the market for site tool storage and bummed that the Makpack system seems lack luster at best in comparison to others (Im a Makita tool guy), then I see this video pop up, had me hyped. Untill... no drawer system, and an absolute back breaker to lift a full system full of gear from the ground. So disappointing, what are these guys thinking?
They're not thinking. Seems like they just wanted to make the modular tool boxes like everyone else and Makita refuses to listen or take any input from what their customers want. Most of my tools are Makita and this system is a big let down in my eyes, Klein Tools and Toughbuilt would be my choice of tool storage over these.
Old school makita user with a tonne of packout gear too… you guys really haven’t thought this one out! Mak USA go figure.
They refuse to listen to what we want. It's their loss though because there's better systems out there
@@a-carpenter9229 They built it to meet the common wants of people that might actually buy it. AKA, not you, and everyone else that wants a teal packout clone but won't ever buy a teal packout clone.
Um for guys going to construction that need to haul alot this looks great but there’s a reason why everyone has a similar rooling box or even dolly and hand trucks
Seems better
Think Ridgid not Milwaukee when setting the MSRP please...
Just saw the prices on Acme, I'm out lol...
It’s definitely more intuitive than I thought. I was concerned about it not having drawers. Accessibility to the boxes at the bottom is made easier because the top boxes are for lighter stuff. Knowing Makita the price will be high lol
This has potential if you would look on this system like an ecosystem. Make a partnership with Prusa research and share STL files for the boxes, so 3d community can create mini boxes and they can be 3d printed. This will be the killer application.
For anyone wondering, Makita UK customer services have no idea about this and said not to expect it here until at least 2026…
Little too late. I went all in festool. TRY A MAKITA Latch.. really just try it without vasoline, machine sanding down the latch holds, try dropping the brittle Makita MacPack boxes. - they will break.
But the wheels are cool.
Spray your Makpak and Gen1 Systainer latches with Armorall, they'll loosen right up.
@@coolbugfacts1234 yep it works.. but sad to think i gotta retrofit all my makpacks……. Seriously look at my makita wall,. I HTE those makpaks. - whats left of them since they were so brittle in our winter.
The refusal to adopt tloc with their licensed systainers…still 14 years after the fact….my lord. Makita being Makita.
@@robertrada4783 your right.
= This still works 💯💯💯
Will it pull up stairs, that's gonna be heavy with tools in, as let's face it we will overload each box rather than having more boxes, seems set up for u.s market rather than U.K , like the charger battery tray, I converted a mac pac too hold my batteries and chargers, I like the mac pac sack barrow as once I got my tools in I can use it for moving cabinets about and other materials..
I am a tool junkie, I own mostly Packout stuff but also Flex Stackpack. Which is beautiful toolboxes too. But then Makita cones along and reinvents the game again. This will cost me more money hahaha.
I think I like this better than vertical design. just the loading into the truck part makes sense. Everything shifts around in the vertical box anyways
The price has to be right though
How much is all this Makita innovation going to cost?
Great makita 😊
I don’t get the sideways thing 😢
Pickup trucks with tonneau covers I believe was their target market.
@@cyberstick2
Still doesn't make sense though. Seems easier to have the standard vertical boxes and to put them in your truck separately that will be lighter to lift than trying to lift Makita's Maktrak full of tools all in one go.
finally, took long enough. having both dewalt and makita, makita tools are great, quality control and reliability is way better than dewalt. but their speed of innovation is definitely slower. i don't mind taking time to get things done right but having those older, paper-thin, useless makita tool boxes for this long is pretty bad
I own only XGT tools but this doesnt come close to packout or toughbuilts depth of range, drawers or whole transport platforms. I havent bought any system yet and at this rate it will probably be toughbuilt.... Do they not ask tradies what they want or what??
Makita fanboy here...Horizontal was a mistake.
makita is completely foolish if they dont bring out a drawers and dolly system like packout. they have some good ideas with this system they just need to bring out a drawer system or else they cant compete and milwaukee still keeps 95% of the market share
Ya still need some drawer options.
And where is vertical cases?
Lol glad I waited
When can I buy it uk
2026 maybe, according to their customer services dept.
Should have come out with drawers from the get go
Drawers ?
素敵
Stairs??
When the market was about to be taken over by Milwaukee , Makita realized it
However, he did not see any advantage in the drawer products
It seems that more waiting is required for progress.
I'm a huge Makita tool user and I think I'll keep my pack outs your a to late to the game. and then it's laying down like that to heavy to pick up
Where's my cup holder 😢
0:56 not anymore
This only makes sense for those who drive pickup trucks.
Or vans, SUVs, crossovers, larger cars,
So, the people that benefit from modular tool boxes then.
@@ElectroG33k It's for all those pick up trucks with truck bed covers. There's a lot of them in construction.
So no van storage solutions, just utes
Looks to me like you didn't check Milwaukee's IP very well...
very nice but 10 years to late I have switched to the Red one. sorry guys I could not wait any longer
@@brianboudreau6083 Same here. I switched completly to FESTOOL once they had a Battery Table saw. Makita missed that boat.. since then .. i completly am FESTOOL for new tools.
(I still keep my 18v. 5amp tools totally that are Makita) but i wont by buying any more Makita tools any longer since makita dont make a USA Table Saw (i still have my old Makita Table Saw - both of them)
Canada release it
Yo quiero
Need drawers
Aka plastic cases
@@DingusSquatfordJr. and not even the right TYPE of plastics / rubber scenarios.
@@josephKEOarthur Plain old obsolescence, including Milwaukee's plastic cases.
Should've skipped boxes and made drawers 🤦♂️
Companies need to stop with the incompatible toolbox systems. You'd sell way more of these if Packout owners could use them for example.
There’s issues with patents.
And not everyone wants packout. I ditched Packout because it becomes a PITA with age, isn’t a good design for all weather exposure, and I’ve had the boxes fall apart a few times.
Shut up and take my money!
makita enter the market too late，all my tools are makita but in Milwaukee packout systems
Unfortunately a couple years too late
Disagree, sure everyone has their own version of PackOut now but this has distinct advantages over pretty much every other competitor. Better than rushing out a boring copy
Looking at the huge quantities of Packout that are stocked in every Home Depot I’ve seen, it’s clear that lots of people are buying Packout every day. I can’t imagine all of them are expanding an existing system and will be unwilling to switch to Makita.
I’ve got a few bins each of lots of different systems - Packout, Ridgid, old Makita, mini Systainer, DeWalt. I got different ones for different uses.
I really like this one. The sizes of the boxes look better than the other ones. I don’t think it will replace my mini Systainers because they are very light. But I can see it replacing everything else because it seems like they have some good intermediate sizes. I don’t like massive, or tiny, containers.
Only a couple 🤣
@@Argonoughtable
I see more disadvantages than advantages with Makita's system compared to all the other vertical box systems.
Look at Qbrick System from Poland you got everything you wants: small, medium, large systems with drawners etc. And they are few yearas on market so for example carts are on version 2 with all improvments.
It's too late Makita, stick with packout for few years now even with Makita inside of the box .
Packout 1.5 🤷
Ah ah, does Makita want to break my back? The worst option for tool storage
Bend with your knees
Why on God's green earth did you not start with drawers 5 years late and didnt listen to a damn thing anyone has asked for since day one
Quite expensive!
This product of Makita is to give a version answer to all combination tool boxes. Tell them that the design idea of your things is wrong from the beginning, I will teach you how to make boxes.
You can't even make a single intelligible sentence, I doubt you're going to teach anyone anything.
They refuse to listen to what their customers want
It is so crazy that you guys have all of your competitors boxes yet yours is mediocre at best.
Something I’ve learned after jumping between Ridgid, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Flex, and Toughbuilt, is that they’re all mediocre.
Again useless for many trades in Germany :D too Big for Scaffolding and not practical moving it up stairs :/
Way to bulky, copy of Milwaukee
Hey, we need that low profile organiser not to open from side! We need that from front or back. Like the dual-hinged lid.!!! Thanks for hearing 🔥
And it should be like 💼💼💼🧳🧳🧳to carry it
Imagine this full of tools and fixings ,terrible design
no thx!
Took you long enough. You lost many customers to milwaukee packout because of your flimsy previous festool type tool boxes
These need to be sold at “Big Box Retail Stores”
Makita needs to increase its presence and availability in the USA
