“The new PACK RAT is designed for the realities of modern worksites where durability, security, and efficiency aren’t optional,” said Paige Schneider, vice president and general manager at Weather Guard. “Our team engineered this system to give pros what they’ve been asking for: stronger construction, smarter security, and easier access to the gear they depend on every day.”
She said the WEATHER GUARD PACK RAT turns a truck bed or work van into jobsite-ready workspaces, providing up to 40% more secure storage capacity.
The redesigned PACK RAT is built from the ground up to solve the problems that plague plastic drawer systems including cracking, warping, security failures, and premature wear.
In addition, the PACK RAT also features the WEATHER GUARD 1KEY ULTRALOCK system, an automotive‑grade lock which offers fleet managers a single‑key solution across multiple truck boxes, and drawer units, reducing downtime and key‑management complexity.
The WEATHER GUARD PACK RAT lineup includes models ranging from compact 48-inch units to full-length 72-inch solutions, with top-load ratings from 750 to 2,000 lbs. for heavy-duty applications.
It arrives ready to install with a pre-assembled design, minimizing setup time and simplifying upfitting for fleets and contractors.
The PACK-RAT is durable, made with powder-coated 14-gauge steel construction and steel ball bearings that outperform plastic competitors.
Adjustable and removable partitions support semi-customizable layouts for tools, fasteners, and equipment that change from job to job.
In addition, the flat, level top surface supports the stacking of additional units bolting down generators or heavy gear to optimize the bed or van floor for maximum storage.
