If it's only a single layer, why does it need to be mobile? If it was two bins deep, then pulling it out would reveal the back layer without having to take out any of the front bins.
I did them two layers deep x two high under a mobile work bench, I also added a row along the top of smaller totes, I can slide each layer out from opposite sides of the work bench, it works great and is so much easier than building or buying drawers, I have since added wax to the tops of the rails but will most likely revise and use teflon strips as the wax bunches up under the edge of the totes.

I think I would attach two 2 x 4s to the back of the unit on a diagonal instead of using 4 x 4s or pocket screws. Fancy technology or extra heavy lumber is usually not required when a little engineering works better and is cheaper.
I went to clear bins a long time ago. Much more useful to actually be able to see the contents without having to open the lid. Makes labeling easier too in addition to redundant - just a slip of paper in the side if needed. Maybe not as pretty but plastic totes are never pretty anyway.
These storage racks are really handy, people just need to be careful about how much weight they're putting in each tote aa well as where they place the heavy totes; if they're too heavy the side WILL eventually bend or break. If it's not stable enough it could also tip over.
The top row of totes should have a shelf that they sit on, so can be taken them off and mobile unit can clear the garage door without bringing out the hacksaw
By hanging, it’s more economical and lighter weight because less lumber is used. It’s also easier to slide in/out because of less friction/contact area, which is a plus for anything above shoulder height. Instead of reaching the top of the tote for the handle, you could just just push the bottom slightly upwards and slide in/out, where shelves wouldn’t.
Any problems hanging heavy plastic units by the elbows?, why not build little floors for them to sit on, or both? what does hanging them buy you, except a little lumber. What is the max weight per hanging module? Does not plastic warp and bend and crack and get hot in a metal summertime storage locker? plus do they make a durable bin that is transparent a(see thru)?? What model do you use the Home Depot? Lowes? or Other? Thx

Great build, great showcase, great short video. As for many commenters, I swear no one thinks critically anymore... For bins which have heavy things.. PLACE THEM ON THE BOTTOM OR JUST ADD SHELFS FOR SELECT TOTES OR LAYERS. If a bin has tall things in it, this allows you to let it stick out of the top if no other bin is above it, and guess what? It will work because theres no height limiting shelf above. Can yaal use some imagination? And stop criticizing how someone else does a project for their needs. Just ADAPT the project for your needs and fat budgets.
I always love hearing "I used 4x4s for strength", when the fact is that laminating two 2x4s together is stronger and more stable. And it may be less expensive also.
@@PedroKing99 comparing apples to apples laminated is always stronger. If a steel I-beam were used it would also be stronger. There's always that person. Don't be that person.

@@naughtyskweet6the garage might serve double duty as auto mechanic area. Limited sized house for storage and the storage wall can just be rolled over to the other side of the garage in front of another storage shelf temporarily. Could be a leaky basement where you might want to move your goods away from the wall in one fell swoop. Maybe they will be renovating that garage soon and this is an easy way to move all those bins around at once.

Trace you've given me an AMAZING idea for the future :) THANK YOU and this will come to life..... eventually haha!
@@BYOTools Awesome!
To move it so you can make room for other projects.

also, if you sell the home you're supposed to leave things that are fixed with the home. being mobile, you can take it with you.
only thing i dont like is if your bins are really heavy, over time those edges will weaken and the bin wont be able to sit in the channels
Agree, plus if the bins are heavy, he won't be able to roll it anywhere anyway.
They roll pretty easy with heavy bins.
So I stead of hanging them, make plywood platforms. Easy enough, shouldn't add more than a couple inches in height total
@@nesperado0790 you would be better off making a completely different shelf at that point. this is just a bad design, period.

Great concept, but those screws going into the endgrain will pull out. I'd invest in some corner/90 brackets to keep everything secure and square.
Or just use pocket screws

Is there a value of having the totes hang rather than sit on a shelf? All the pre-fab units for storing these things have the bins sitting.
This option is typically used when storing light bins overhead. In this case it seems like it saves material.
By hanging, it’s more economical and lighter weight because less lumber is used.

Better for them to sit on shelving ..
even though it costs more these bins can get very heavy ..😊
If you remove a bottom tote. What is stopping the tote above to stay up? Surely the lid itself isn't strong enough for heavy items in the tote...
Awesome! I will remember this for when I want to move everything I own, all at one time!
I love this idea cause you're able to move it if needed
Why would you move this? I’m curious what you are thinking.
I didn't think those totes could be hung by that top flange. It seems pretty dodgy for heavy ones.

Simple but great what do you do if the tub breaks can’t find one that fits all the same size?
I keep seeing people make this design. Great for light stuff, but any weight and you'll hate it.
How did you attach the hanging rails, back to back onto the 2x4?
Why not just use horizontal supports like regular shelves so the bins are supported at the bottom instead of their edges?
Shelves require a lot more material, are heavier, don’t have much functional advantage for tote storage, and gather lots of dust and debris.

Just built mine 💯 good stuff
How much did it cost to complete this. Am thinking of making this. Just wondering how much it would cost. Also can you shed more details plz
@@swathichintha2525 wood is expensive these days
Good job
Can we get a cost estimate please?
Hey, did you ever get a reply as to how much it cost to build that mobile garage storage?

Boxes above head height are not workspace approved.
If you need this much storage you need less stuff
Dimensions? Where is the map?
Oh my goodness… this is brilliant!
Is there a drawing of this to be found with the various measurements? And by the way, making the storage unit mobile is genius!
What you got so many toads for?
good
