Small Basket – Compact & Versatile Slatwall Storage
The Small Basket is a wall mounted slatwall storage basket designed to provide efficient and secure organization for both small and heavier items commonly stored in garages and workshops. Constructed from durable welded steel, it delivers reliable strength while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily into dense storage layouts.
Because of its smaller size, multiple Small Baskets can be installed across a slatwall panel, allowing users to create dedicated storage zones for different categories of items. This makes it easy to organize and separate hardware, tools, sports gear, gardening supplies, and automotive accessories without using larger storage components. The enclosed sides and secure front edge help prevent items from rolling out or becoming misplaced, while the open-wire design keeps contents visible and easy to access.
As part of a modular garage wall storage system, the Small Basket helps maximize vertical wall space and reduce floor clutter. It integrates seamlessly with other MKE Slatwall garage storage baskets, allowing storage configurations to scale and evolve as organization needs grow.
All Milwaukee Slatwall garage storage accessories feature an exclusive double backplate locking system that securely anchors the basket to the slatwall panel. A foot-activated locking mechanism combined with a hex-bolt fastener ensures the basket remains firmly in place under load, while still allowing for easy repositioning when storage layouts change.
Features:
- Easy Lock-in, Lock-out Mechanism: Exclusive Double Backplate Lock allows for secure and stable attachment to the slatwall with flexibility to reposition it anywhere on the garage panels.
- Universal Fit: Built with standard 3″ on-center slot spacing, making it compatible with all universal slatwall systems.

- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built to withstand the toughest demands for your garage storage & crafted with premium materials.
- Holding Capacity: Holding capacity of 100lbs.

Compact Slatwall Basket for High-Density Wall Organization
The Small Basket is engineered for precision storage in tighter wall layouts where space efficiency matters. Its 16-inch width and 9-inch depth make it ideal for creating structured micro-zones on garage slatwall panels, allowing users to separate smaller item categories without dedicating large sections of wall space.
This compact slatwall basket works particularly well for organizing frequently accessed components that benefit from defined containment but do not require deep stacking. The lower-profile footprint allows multiple baskets to be aligned across a single panel, supporting grid-style wall organization for improved workflow and faster item retrieval. Its open-wire construction maintains visibility while helping prevent small items from being buried or overlooked in drawers or bins.

The Small Basket is one of those accessories I didn’t realize I needed until I had it. It’s the perfect size for all the little stuff that usually gets lost — spray cans, work gloves, zip ties, tape rolls, and even random tools I use often. Instead of digging through drawers, I can just toss everything in here and still keep the garage looking neat.
It mounts securely to the slatwall and hasn’t budged, even when fully loaded. The open design makes it easy to see what’s inside, and it’s low-profile enough to fit just about anywhere. Honestly, I might grab a few more just to keep everything in reach and off the workbench.
