Makita, a manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, outdoor power equipment and accessories, has launched the new MAKTRAK™ Modular Storage System. MAKTRAK™ has been designed with a range of unique features including a horizontal design that redefines the category. The MAKTRAK™ launched is backed by an interactive website that gives users greater customisation options.
“Users across the US told us about their many challenges with the vertical-first design-based modular storage systems that are ubiquitous in the market today, and we listened,” said Andrew Camp, director of product management, accessories, Makita USA, Inc. “Driven by this clear user feedback, we designed and engineered a horizontal-first design-based modular storage system that addresses their challenges and brings to market a product range that we believe is a transformative solution that creates tremendous user value. Researched, designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A., MAKTRAK™ is the next generation in modular storage.”
MAKTRAK™ Modular Storage System’s design has been driven by four core functions, transport, efficient loading and unloading is enabled by a premium handle equipped with Gecko Grips™; access, the horizontal dual-hinging lid allows access to any case without unstacking or interference from the handle; store, this horizontal design also provides wider interior space for larger tools and accessories; organise, the unit offers a customisable design with lid mounting points, molle panel dividers, nested bins as well as battery and charger storage trays.
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. This means MAKTRAK™ can accommodate larger tools like nailers, saws and rotary hammers. At the same time, the shallow depth allows improved accessibility.
The MAKTRAK™ System includes the following components, with more organizational tools and parts on the way. Constructed of impact-resistant resins, the system is built to withstand tough job site conditions and features large glove-friendly latches for easy access.

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 three 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 X (Twitter) pages. Users can also search for a Makita authorised dealer.
