The DEWALT DWST82800 48 in. Metal Rail is the foundation of the DEWALT Workshop Storage System. Made from heavy-gauge steel, it supports up to 100 lb per lineal foot and mounts to your wall to carry bins, organizers, and other DWST accessories. If you're setting up a custom workshop wall, this rail is the piece everything else clicks into.
DWST82800 installation instructions: mounting the DEWALT 48 in. metal rail
Before you mount the rail, plan the layout at stud spacing. The rail attaches to wall studs with appropriate fasteners (not included). Use a level to mark the holes, then drive the fasteners and hang the rail. The two endcap joiners can connect additional rails end-to-end for a longer run.
How to install the rail for best results
Use fasteners rated for your wall type and the weight you plan to store. If mounting to drywall, mount over studs or use heavy-duty anchors rated for the load. A level rail is essential for accessories to latch correctly.
Accessories snap on with the patented latching system
With the rail in place, DEWALT Workshop Storage System accessories lock directly onto the rail. No tools or extra hardware are needed each time you want to move a bin or hanger. The heavy-duty steel construction is built to handle a busy workshop.

Drill and drive fasteners rated for the load.
Attach endcaps and begin adding accessories.
What will it hold?

Sturdy and reliable
I mounted this along my workbench and it's been great. The rail is heavy duty and the powder coat finish resists scratches. I loaded it with various Dewalt cases and it hasn't bent. The pre-drilled holes aligned perfectly with my studs. Installation took about 20 minutes. I'm planning to add another one.
