Why Hilti Entered the Storage Game

Jobsite storage isn’t new. Milwaukee PACKOUT, DeWalt ToughSystem, Bosch L-Boxx, and Ridgid Pro Gear have all been around for years. But if you talk to contractors, you’ll hear the same complaints over and over: latches that take two hands to open, lids that don’t stay put, carts that wobble across rough ground, and systems that feel like afterthoughts instead of real workhorses.

Hilti took those frustrations and designed a storage system from the ground up. The result is the Hilti ProKit, a modular solution that’s rugged, portable, and easy to use. From one-handed latches and auto-close lids to IP-rated protection and a detachable cart with oversized wheels, ProKit is built to make jobsite mobility easier.

While Hilti isn’t first to market, they’ve built a system that feels like it should have been here all along, fixing the weak points contractors have been complaining about for years. And knowing Hilti, this is just the start: ProKit will only grow with more cases, drawers, and modular add-ons in the near future.

ProKit System Overview

Hilti launched ProKit with a simple idea: storage should be as tough and reliable as the tools it carries. The system starts with a detachable cart and four stackable cases of different sizes, all built to interlock and move as one unit. Together, they create a mobile workstation that’s rugged enough for the jobsite but still easy to roll into a shop, truck, or garage.

Key highlights of the ProKit system include:

  • One-handed operation – Every lid and latch is designed to open, close, and lock with just one hand.
  • Auto-close lids – Prevents spills and keeps small parts contained.
  • IP-rated protection – Dust and weather resistance for real-world jobsite abuse.
  • Large rubber wheels – Handles gravel, mud, and uneven ground better than smaller plastic wheels.
  • 20-2-1 Warranty – Hilti backs ProKit with 20 years of repair/parts support, 2 years of wear-and-tear coverage, and 1-day turnaround on repairs.

What makes ProKit stand out is how it feels in use. Instead of struggling with stiff latches or awkward stacking, the system clicks together smoothly, rolls easily, and works with and for you. Contractors who already use Hilti tools will also appreciate how seamlessly ProKit integrates into Hilti’s ON!Track fleet management and asset tracking system.

Box by Box Breakdown

Hilti launched ProKit with four main storage boxes, each designed for different needs but built on the same rugged, modular platform. Whether you’re carrying fasteners, hand tools, or heavy power tools, there’s a box sized to handle it. Every model features one-handed latches, auto-close lids, IP-rated protection, and Hilti’s ON!Track compatibility, so you can stay organized and keep track of your investments across jobsites.

Full-Size Organizer (#2437397)

The ProKit Full-Size Organizer is built for small parts, fasteners, and accessories—but don’t mistake it for a lightweight box. With a 50 lb (23 kg) capacity and 11 removable bins, it’s tough enough to carry serious weight while keeping everything separated, organized, and easily accessible.

Key Features:

  • 50 lb weight capacity – Handles more than just screws and nails.
  • 11 removable and rearrangeable bins – Customize layouts for fasteners, fittings, and accessories.
  • Clear lid with auto-close – Keeps parts secure and visible at a glance.
  • One-handed stacking – Quickly click and unclick from other ProKit boxes.
  • Smart management – Add ON!Track asset tags to track usage and prevent loss.

This organizer is perfect for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs who live and die by their fittings and fasteners. Instead of rummaging through buckets or half-filled trays, you’ve got a secure, modular system that’s built to travel.

Medium Case (#2437379)

The ProKit Medium Case is a versatile everyday toolbox, compact enough to carry easily, but still built to handle a heavy load. With a 5-gallon capacity and 50 lb (23 kg) weight rating, it’s ideal for hand tools, accessories, and consumables you need on every job.

Key Features:

  • 50 lb capacity with 5 gallons of storage – Big enough for drills, drivers, or a mix of tools and fasteners.
  • Durable build – Impact-resistant polymer body that stands up to jobsite abuse.
  • IP65 dust and water resistance – Keeps tools protected from weather and debris.
  • One-handed operation – Auto-latch lid and fast stacking/unstacking with other ProKit boxes.
  • Smart tracking ready – Compatible with ON!Track asset management.

The Medium Case is likely to be the “daily driver” for most trades. It’s sized right for carrying essential tools without weighing you down, making it a solid backbone piece of the ProKit system.

Large Case (#2437395)

The ProKit Large Case is designed for bulkier tools and heavier loads. With a 9.25-gallon capacity and a 75 lb (34 kg) weight rating, it’s built to haul serious gear without compromising portability.

Key Features:

  • 75 lb capacity with 9.25 gallons of storage – Perfect for larger power tools, grinders, or multiple cordless tools.
  • Rugged build – Made from impact-resistant polymers to withstand rough handling.
  • IP65 dust and water resistance – Keeps tools dry and protected in tough conditions.
  • One-handed latches – Fast, secure, and easy operation even with gloves on.
  • Stack and track – Integrates seamlessly with ProKit stacking and ON!Track asset management.

For contractors carrying heavier tools day in and day out, the Large Case strikes the balance between portability and serious storage capacity. It’s the box you load up when you need to bring the heavy hitters to the site.

XL Case (#2437389)

When maximum storage is the priority, the ProKit XL Case steps in. With a 16-gallon capacity and a 99 lb (45 kg) weight rating, this box is built for the heaviest, bulkiest tools and gear. It’s the workhorse of the ProKit lineup, designed for serious trades who need to bring it all.

Key Features:

  • Nearly 100 lb capacity with 16 gallons of storage – Handles the biggest power tools, corded equipment, or job-specific gear.
  • Impact-resistant construction – Built to take drops, bumps, and daily wear.
  • IP65 rated – Weather and dust resistant for harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Auto-latch lid and stacking system – Opens, locks, and integrates easily with the rest of the ProKit lineup.
  • ON!Track integration – Add asset tags for full fleet management and tracking.

The XL Case is built for crews who need one box to handle everything. Whether you’re loading it with heavy corded tools, multiple battery kits, or bulk consumables, this case is designed to carry the load without slowing you down.

The ProKit Trolley Cart

ProKit Trolley Cart (#2437388)

The ProKit Trolley Cart is the backbone of the entire system. With a 250 lb (113 kg) weight rating and the ability to stack up to 7.5 ft (2.3 m) high, it transforms a collection of boxes into a true mobile workstation.

Key Features:

  • 250 lb capacity – Strong enough to haul a full stack of loaded cases.
  • 7.5 ft stack height – Lets you move an entire kit in one trip.
  • Detachable cart design – Use it as a base for XL boxes or remove it for lighter carry.
  • 10.5" heavy-duty wheels – Large rubber tires handle water, mud, gravel, and heat without bogging down or tipping over.
  • Built for the system – Designed to interlock with every ProKit box for a secure, modular stack.
  • Smart management – Add ON!Track asset tags to track your full loadout.

Where other brands cut corners with small, flimsy wheels, Hilti went the opposite direction: oversized, puncture-resistant tires that roll smoothly on real jobsites. It’s what makes the ProKit system feel less like “just storage” and more like a portable tool station you can take anywhere.

Work Station

One of the most underrated features of the Hilti ProKit system is its ability to double as a portable workstation. By locking a case onto the top of the trolley, you instantly create a stable surface that functions as a jobsite table. This setup is perfect for laying out fasteners, organizing fittings, or keeping tools within easy reach while you work. Instead of bending over to dig through boxes on the ground, you’ve got a raised, secure surface that moves with you wherever the job takes you. It’s a simple but transformative design choice that turns ProKit into more than just storage; it becomes a true on-site workstation.

One-Handed Operation

Hilti designed ProKit with jobsite efficiency in mind. Every box in the system can be opened, closed, and detached with one hand, freeing up the other for tools, materials, or just keeping your balance on a ladder. It’s the kind of detail that seems small until you use it day after day.

One-Handed Latch & Lid Opening

The auto-latch system means you can pop a lid open or snap it shut without needing two hands. Whether you’re holding a drill in one hand or balancing on a scaffold, the ProKit lids close securely on their own, locking down your parts and tools without fumbling. This solves one of the most common complaints about competing storage systems, stiff, two-handed latches that slow you down.

One-Handed Box Removal

Stacked boxes can also be connected and released with a single latch. Instead of fighting with multiple clips or lifting awkward stacks, you simply unlock a box with one hand and pull it free. This makes it easy to grab what you need without dismantling your entire setup. For pros who are constantly on the move, this is a game-changer, faster, simpler, and far less frustrating than older modular systems.

Built for the Jobsite

A storage system is only as good as its ability to survive real-world abuse, and Hilti built ProKit to take a beating. Every box in the lineup is made from impact-resistant polymers, tough enough to handle drops, kicks, and daily wear without cracking.

  • IP65 Rated Protection – Each box is sealed against dust and water, so rain, mud, and sawdust stay out. Whether you’re working outdoors or in a dusty renovation, your tools stay protected.
  • Heavy Load Capacity – With cases rated from 50 lbs up to nearly 100 lbs, and the cart supporting 250 lbs, ProKit is engineered to carry real weight without flexing or failing.
  • Large Handles – Oversized, ergonomic handles make carrying easier, even when boxes are fully loaded. The grips are designed for gloved hands, giving you better control and less strain when lifting.

These details add up to a system that feels built for contractors, not hobbyists. ProKit isn’t just a place to stash tools, it’s a rugged extension of the jobsite itself, ready to roll wherever the work takes you.

Smart Tracking with Hilti ON!Track

Organization doesn’t stop with physical storage. Hilti designed ProKit to integrate seamlessly with ON!Track, their digital asset management system. Each box can be fitted with ON!Track asset tags, allowing you to track location, manage inventory, and reduce the risk of lost or misplaced gear.

For contractors running multiple crews or managing a large tool crib, this means:

  • Visibility – Know which team has which case at all times.
  • Accountability – Reduce lost tools and consumables by assigning boxes to specific users.
  • Efficiency – Quickly scan and update inventory without digging through boxes manually.

Instead of treating storage as a dead end, Hilti turned ProKit into a smarter piece of the workflow, linking your physical gear to your digital management system. It’s a feature most competing storage systems don’t even attempt, and it gives ProKit an edge for larger operations where tool control is critical.

Warranty & Support: Hilti’s 20-2-1 Guarantee

Hilti backs the ProKit system with their well-known 20-2-1 warranty, one of the strongest in the industry:

  • 20 years of repair and parts availability.
  • 2 years of wear-and-tear coverage, no questions asked.
  • 1-day turnaround on repairs to minimize downtime.

This warranty shows Hilti’s confidence in ProKit’s durability and long-term value. Unlike other brands that may quietly abandon storage lines after a few years, Hilti commits to keeping ProKit supported and serviceable. For contractors investing in a full system, that peace of mind matters just as much as the storage itself.

How Hilti Stacks Up vs Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch & Ridgid

The modular storage market is crowded, but Hilti found a way to stand out by addressing the pain points that have frustrated pros for years. Milwaukee PACKOUT is still the most widely used system, thanks to its massive catalog of boxes, bags, lights, and even radios. However, many users complain about stiff latches and two-handed operation, problems Hilti solved this with one-handed latches and auto-close lids. DeWalt’s ToughSystem and TSTAK once competed head-to-head, but they’ve fallen quiet in recent years, leaving many contractors unsure if DeWalt even supports them anymore. Bosch’s L-Boxx works fine for technicians and lighter-duty use, but it was never built for the abuse of heavy jobsites, an area where Hilti’s rugged construction and IP-rated protection give it the edge. Ridgid Pro Gear is a solid budget option for DIYers or pros on a tight budget, but it doesn’t offer the premium features, durability, or warranty support that Hilti brings to the table.

In short, Milwaukee may still own the market in terms of sheer variety, but Hilti launched ProKit as a more refined and job-ready solution. Rather than flooding stores with dozens of SKUs, Hilti focused on getting the fundamentals right, mobility, durability, and true one-handed usability, and backed it with a long-term commitment to support.

Wrap-Up: The Future of Hilti ProKit

Hilti may not have been the first to enter the modular storage game, but with ProKit they’ve built a system that feels like it should have been here all along. By fixing common frustrations, from stiff two-handed latches to flimsy wheels and poor dust protection, Hilti delivered a lineup that’s rugged, user-friendly, and designed for real contractors.

At launch, ProKit covers the essentials with four boxes and a heavy-duty trolley, but Hilti has already signaled more is on the way, including drawers and additional modules. That means the system will only grow stronger and more versatile over time. Combined with the 20-2-1 warranty and ON!Track integration, ProKit isn’t just another storage option, it’s a platform Hilti plans to stand behind for the long haul.

For contractors who already trust Hilti tools, ProKit is a natural fit. For those loyal to other systems, this is the first real alternative that challenges Milwaukee’s PACKOUT head-on. Hilti might be late to the party, but they’ve shown up with one of the best-designed, most durable storage systems on the market and it’s only getting started.
