DEWALT® announces new modular workstation 25 September 2024

DEWALT®, a Stanley Black & Decker brand, recently revealed its new TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™, the company's first 30 inch modular storage system with a functional workstation that is easily transported and built to withstand tough jobsite conditions.

The newly released TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 DXL lineup includes four 30 inch products: a Worktop, Deep Drawer Unit, 2 Drawer Unit and Dolly. All pieces can be easily customised, are compatible with existing TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 products, and fit under most truck covers allowing users to comfortably work from their truck beds. TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 modules can be connected and stacked from the top or bottom of TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ Drawers using patented auto-connect front latches.

"The TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ Modular Storage System was designed to address user pain points and provide pros a solution that can be customised to their needs on the job," says Dave Veprek, vice-president of product management, DEWALT®. "Benefits include a waist high workstation, truck ready modules and features to secure tools, all contributing to optimal productivity and enhanced workflow – it's a game-changing system."

The TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 30 in. Worktop provides a flat, durable, multi-purpose worksurface with five integrated slots for hanging tools and two cup holders for built-in convenience. Width can also be added to the reinforced work surface using integrated screw holes to mount beams or plywood.

TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 30 in. Deep Drawer Unit provides large-scale storage volume (44 litres) and optimal organisation with removable dividers and side metal racks for hanging power tools and accessories. The drawer opens smoothly with ball-bearing slides and securely locks with an automatic quick-latching mechanism. The drawer has a total load capacity of 25kg while an integrated metal bar secures tools inside using a padlock-eye. The TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 30 in. 2 Drawer Unit features the same design and functionality as the Deep Drawer Unit, while also featuring an integrated metal bar to secure tools.

The TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 30 in. Dolly features an impact-resistant body structure as well as six inch heavy-duty caster wheels designed to manoeuvre freely over rough terrain and withstand harsh environments. The dolly can carry loads up to 200kg.

Each piece is available independently or bundled in the TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 5-in-1 Tower or TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ 4-in-1 Tower. The 4-in-1 Tower includes one of each product, while the 5-in-1 Tower contains two 30 inch Deep Drawer units.

In addition, DEWALT has released several storage kits designed for use with TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ modules and the Metal Workshop Storage System including a Power Tool Storage Kit, Workshop Storage Kit and a Jobsite Storage Kit.

TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 DXL™ will be available in October where DEWALT® products are sold.
