Milwaukee® Introduces 18” and 24” Rolling Bags

MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool continues to expand their Storage Solutions with the introduction of the 18” Jobsite Rolling Bag and 24” HARDTOP™ Rolling Bag. The new Rolling Bags are designed from the ground-up to address the needs of professionals who need the most durable mobile solution to transport tools, accessories, and other materials to and from the jobsite. Constructed with 1680D Ballistic Material, everything about the new Rolling Bags has been specifically designed to withstand the jobsite environment. 6” metal-rimmed, all-terrain wheels allow the Rolling Bags to easily roll over a variety of rough surfaces, and a metal through-axle secures the wheel providing a stronger connection and longer life in jobsite conditions. All-metal skid plates provide additional protection for the wheels and axle from impacts or when climbing stairs.

One of the most common frustrations users have with other rolling bags available today is the weakness of the handles. To address this concern, Milwaukee® designed its own industrial-grade extension handle for the Rolling Bags, which is designed to survive in tough jobsite environments. The wider handle also produces a more comfortable grip during transportation. Exclusive to the 24” HARDTOP™ Rolling Bag is a HARDTOP™ lid built for stacking. The HARDTOP™ is designed to withstand up to 250 lbs, making this the ideal solution for users who also like to use the Bag as a dolly. The 18” Jobsite Rolling Bag is designed to carry up to 200 lbs and is optimized to fit in a job box.

In addition to their extreme durability, the new Rolling Bags have also been optimized to provide maximum storage capability and versatility. Each comes equipped with a large assortment of pockets to meet an array of tool and accessory storage needs – the 18” Jobsite Rolling Bag with 66 pockets and the 24” HARDTOP™ Rolling Bag with 53. The main compartment provides a place to store larger tools, while a fold-down front portion of the bag reveals additional tool & equipment storage pockets. A dedicated puncture-resistant pocket provides a convenient storage area for sharp tools, such as jab saws, so they won’t cut up the interior of the bag. Part of a growing line of storage solutions from Milwaukee, the new Rolling Bags will be available in February of 2017. Dedicated to delivering enhanced solutions to increase productivity, Milwaukee’s storage category will continue to grow and offer user-driven innovative solutions for the trades.
