updated packaging

Just wanted to post that it looks like the packaging has been improved. I just picked one up today from the local Sears store and found the sides are now protected by 4 stiff engineered supports that have some give to prevent denting the cabinet. Looks like they stopped using wood supports which another reviewer reported likely caused damage during shipping. I'm very happy with the cabinet, solid construction and can't beat the price when you find them on sale. To boot they updated the packaging to better protect during transport.

These are fantastic.  Slide along the rails and move around.  Your needs are going to change so mobility is important.  I have the Gladiator rails in my trailer so when I go on the road to do a job.  I take the Wall GearBox out of the shop and put it in the trailer and have all my stuff.  The box locks so everything is in place when I arrive

I purchased the Gladiator 30" Wall GearBox via the Internet after reading several reviews and studying options.  The box was perfect for my needs but I was somewhat concerned about a report describing damages in shipping.  When I received the order, I was pleased to find the packaging was well designed and the contents in perfect condition.  It took about twenty minutes to install the box via the "bolt directly to wall" option.  The box is sturdy, well constructed, and it made an excellent addition to my garage organization plan.  I recommend this item without hesitation or reservation.

I love the Gladiator system. After shopping for several options I decided to go with the Gladiator 30" Gear Box and love it. I love the flexibility of hanging them from the GearTrack or straight to the wall. I chose the GearTrack and it's very easy and gives you flexibility.

The cabinets are very sturdy and just require attaching the mounting brackets for the GearTrack if desired. I had no issues with the cabinets being damaged as others have mentioned. They looked great right out of the box.

Another nice feature are the moveable shelves. They have 2 shelves and you can move them among 4 different...

I bought two Gladiator 30" gearBox storage cabinets for my toyhauler trailer. They are very sturdy without being too heavy and they were easy to mount in my toyhauler using the existing studs in the trailer walls. There is plenty of room for helmets and riding gear as well as tools and other supplies like oils and lubricants for my ATVs. The adjustable shelves are easy to move up or down to allow for whatever I want to store in the cabinets. The magnetic doors stay closed even while towing on rough roads. These cabinets work great in my toyhauler trailer and would be a great addition to any garage....

Very well built cabinet, packaged great and easy to install.  This was a great surprise when i picked up my order of two cabinets.  They were already assembled.  Just open the box and hang them.  I had bought two work benches and two large cabinets from ***** and spent over an hour each building them not really hard.. just time consuming during the build and squaring up the doors.  This is the way to go, plus I bought these two during the black friday deal for about half the price.

I bought the geartrack and hooks before and liked the way it worked. When I saw the 20% off sale I decided to buy a couple cabinets. When I got them home and unpacked them I was impressed by the quality, and how easy they were to hang on the geartrack. In fact I went back the next day and bought 2 more! I would have gone back and bought even more but at the time my budget wouldn't allow it. The next time they go on sale I'm buying the tall gearbox cabinets.

This is exactly what I wanted. It is very sturdy without being too heavy. It looks great. It is hung on a wall. Ones that I looked at other places were either too heavy to hang on a wall. Or was plastic and was afraid that if I hung it and had some heavy items, the cabinet may not stay on the wall.

gladiator is great especially the items that are welded and this is no exception. this came mostly assembled and only had to be hung on the wall. stay away from ready to assemble (aside from the jumbo gearbox - love it) and cadet models (cadet is not made by whirlpool).

Very little assebly required. The unit is very sturdy and simple to attach to the garage wall. I do not have the wall system so I attached it straight to the drywall into several studs using lag bolts (not inlcuded) as detailed in the instructions. Great to keep the chemicals in the garage off the floor and away from the kids. Not a cheap $ unit but well worth the money.

I purchased 2 of these gear boxes on black friday and just had them put up in my garage. Was very pleased with the Sears staff when I got it out of the box the corner was crushed in. They gladly took it back and did an even exchange being the price is regurlar price now. Built to last and very sturdy. I love this whole system. Plan on buying more.

I ordered three 30" Gladiator cabinets from Sears to be picked up.

I have read many reviews on other sites who had this cabinet shipped to them that even though the box was not damaged, the cabinet was found to have some serious dents.

To be on the safe side, before taking these home with me, I opened all three cabinets to ensure they were not damaged.

The first cabinet looked to be in good shape.

The second and third cabinets were both damaged.  Both had dents on the edges, toward the middle of the side of the cabinet.

It was most likely that the dents were a result of poor packaging on the part...

I bought three of these recently to go in my garage.  We just bought a new house and are trying to add some storage to the garage.  I wanted to go with something functional that would also have a nice garage finish to them as well.  They came with excellent instructions and were easy to hang.  I used the Gladiator panels and spaced them 18" apart and hung them on the panels.  Overall, they were easy to hang, hold quite a bit of my garage junk and look great in my garage.  

Oh yeah, I was concerned about the packaging, but they were packed extremely well.  No worries about a dented cabinet...

Bought a few at 99 bucks each.  Best value to quality ratio I found anywhere.
